How embarrassing

Ramaphosa (and Zelinsky for that matter) should have punched him right in his fascist mouth.

What a boorish orange clown that is. Then his handler Apartheid Musk is there pulling the strings.

Kudos to President Ramaphosa for not falling for the moron's orchestrated shitshow. FOTUS would have been happy had he just been given a suitcase full of Krugerrands. Given the way the Oval Office looks these days, we're going to have to start calling FOTUS Goldfinger instead.

he held up a picture from the Democratic Republic of Congo to prove South African genocide. I'm surprised "MS13" wasn't included somewhere in the image

Trump is a bully and so unprofessional as a leader. For him to do this multiple times with foreign leaders is such a shame and an embarrassment.

IMO: Elon Musk fabricated those photos and that video that Trump used as "proof of genocide" in South Africa.

This is what a class act looks like when attacked by a substandard pig of a human being

Trump is despicable.

Why do other country leaders still come? Have then not seen the shit show the orange buffoon puts on? Surely other country leaders can be a stupid as the one who illegally occupied the oval office

@papst-ny.bsky.social

If a surprise, it may have been that Ramaphosa accepted an invitation to a forum that appears to exist to embarrass other world leaders.

That is actually making sense he hates all humanity, as he is orange skinned, which no one is

At least he wore a suit and tie, disarming that possible controversy. Only Elon and Kid Rock are allowed in His Highness' presence in less. President Ramaphosa only had to sit through a bogus slide show, including body bags not even from his country.

The Oval Office looks like a tacky cartoon room in trump’s fund-me reality show. Ick

The white crosses the 🍊🤡 spoke of were not grave markers of murdered white farmers. The were a memorial to a man and woman that were murdered in the neighborhood. The liar in chief can’t help but lie. His fool supporters will believe him even when fact checked.

Trump is building ill-will against America and Burning every single Bridge we ever had

He did his country proud. The orange one again invited dignitaries to the people’s house and bushwhacks them publicly. He is a waste of orange.

Is this another example of NPR "normalizing" Trump and refusing to call him out for his lies and tactics? Or is it the opposite - again? NPR critics seem to have difficulty being consistent.

Does Trump believe the propaganda, or does he simply accept and transmit it without genuine evidence because it comports with his racism? An explanation based on the “will to believe” actually equates the two options. We have a president for whom the truth is irrelevant. I know, old news.

Thank you NPR for calling it what it was, a choreographed ambush.

Makes Cheetolini feel important to bully other countries leaders.

Another embarrasment, more lies, fake video, fake articles. No one should agree to a meeting at the white house, they are ambushed and not allowed to say the truth. This fucking administration is horrific. I hope they all rot in hell!!

This man is clearly unreasonable at best

I keep coming back to this article because it is so unsettling. This was another example of a set up to embarrass a world leader.

Trump attempted to make the President look like a fool. Trump’s racism was on full display. It was important for Trump to show what he believes is the superiority of the white race. To be fair, he also tried to make Zelensky a white leader, look like a fool too but racism was not an element there.

This is why we'd needed to treat Jan 6th like Sept 11th... Never forgive and never forget the Republicans utter betrayal of the Constitution and America for #TraitorTrump!

Worst humans ever!

They were his jailers once

Agreed. Huge drop in prestige for South Africa.

Ramaphosa was diplomatic. After all, “he was one of the key mediators in the talks that ended apartheid in 1994.” Not like Trump. Ramaphosa: I don't have a plane to give you.🔥

Ramaphosa should have punched Trump in the face.

Ramaphosa shows class & composure against Trump's bully tactics. Cool.

A disgraceful ambush of lies by a stupid bully.

so this administration brings in country leaders for smear purpose to justify bringing in the “fleeing” 🤔 will this also happen for central america?

Another world leader duped into a “carefully choreographed Oval Office ambush by Trump“. Who’s next? #TrumpfDiplomacy #Trumpffft

I feel like "meeting the President" used to mean something. There was honor, you achieved something honorable enough to be seen by the President. Now it feels like, you're the highest bidder

How could he not know he was going to be ambushed? Is he headless?

Looks like he was Zelenskyyed. How'd that happen? Despicable.

Shocked, yes, but they shouldn’t be surprised.

Dim the lights. Ambush for sure.

I bet Mexico (and the rest of the civilized world) is ready to build that wall around the US and gladly pay to keep the crazy contained.

They're on it

South Africans did the same to Black South Africans under the African Apartheid! "KARMA IS REAL!" The MORAL thing for White South Africans to do... is eliminate their illusion of Racial Superiority and Separatism is confess, repent, and provide a remedy to Black South Africans that is due legally!

And he trolled tRump with a bribe, and tRump took the bait. They must be laughing their asses of in South Africa at the US's dirt-stupid president.

#Trump STOP LYING The picture of dead people Trump held up was proven to be a photo from Congo where women were being murdered. Trump said it was about dead white farmers. Liar Liar!

World leaders should just refuse to meet with this administration. Let us be the pariah that we now are. We are no leader of the free world as we are no longer free. Spouting white supremacist BS, we have fallen so far.

At this point no international leader should go to the White House.

Our president is just embarrassing. He's just a carnival barker.

Leaders everywhere should learn to not trust Trump to listen to them and refuse to come to his white house.

Surrounded by fake gold ticky tacky, Ramaphosa politely told Donald Trump he should maybe read real news and not the fake stuff handed to him by his "fluffers". Trump looked stupid, uninformed, fat and racist. Unfortunately, his followers will believe anything. DJT quote: "I love the uneducated"

Ambushed like Zelensky. Warning to world leaders: Do not meet with Trump in the White House.

Every damn thing dump does is a movie production and he's star of every fking channel.

The Oval Office looks like a two bit whorehouse now. Cheap and sleazy with all the fake gold around the photos and on the walls. Reflects the cheap and sleazy man sitting in the center.

Trumps a dick

Why can't another foreign leader just say, no, we are not appearing together on camera.

Which world leader will be next to be slimed in the Oval Office??

That video Trump played was horrifying. 😬

the Oval Office is decorated like a former Soviet Union satellite country's despot leader's. coincidence?

📌

Who in the history of the world can compare to the way Trump treats other foreign leaders? A question I asked Perplexity: www.perplexity.ai/search/who-i...

I mean, if they actually were shocked, they really haven't been paying much attention.

Again with disrespecting another head of State. Also why is the B747 model always on the Table?

Truly shocked he didn't drag out his "African friend" Elon.

Ramaphosa’s ANC are corrupt to the core. But Trump & Co are corrupt to the core AND evil. Trump actually makes Cyril look good by comparison. And that pisstake about not having a plane to bribe him with was so funny, not least because it went right over Trump’s head. There’s no genocide in SA.

The Trump White House is racist to their core.

African nations need to learn to stop fucking with the U.S. The U.S. government is actively shitting on Black people here; what makes them think they can get any help for the continent?

I love the way Ramaphosa was talking to Trump like he's a special needs child, which he is...

World leaders need to stop meeting him on is terms... play the same game, come prepared and hit back with facts about his administration. His meetings are all about making him look good and not you. #FDT #FGOP

If it’s unfounded, if there’s no evidence, news broadcasters must say so!!

What did you think of the contents of the video?

President Cyril Ramaphosa was more presidential than the America Adjudicated Rapist Felon.

ah a little levity...lol

Proof he’s an asshole and a dumbass too

They did the same thing to Zelensky and everybody else that is how fascism works

I wonder if the Oval Office clown show is designed to distract from the catastrophic Reconciliation Bill passed in the dead of night. We must focus on what Republicans are doing that will destroy lives & tear apart the social fabric that supports us all.

Because he is not white! Trump has already speed the criminal Musk pals right into the USA with NO real checks on them! YEAH, we have to most unsecure borders under the Trump criminal organization!

Trump is an embarrassment to our country. He lacks the intelligence and morals to be President of the United States. He is a small minded and mentally deranged man. He needs Vance and the other minions to build him up because this is how he thrives on bigotry and hate.

There is shock and outrage in America about the way Trump acted also.

Unclear why he even showed up for this. Do foreign leaders not get it yet? There’s ZERO purpose to being a prop for these events. They only serve to legitimize Shitler and do NOTHING for these foreign leaders or their countries.

Why would any head of state visit this moron again

He’s used to racist bullying

It was disgusting. They SHOULD be angry.

Maybe when President WTF goes to other countries to visit with other world leaders they should sit him down and make him watch Idiocracy.

We all witnessed how someone who thinks he can bend the world to his will by leveraging misinformation, distortions and outright lies gets hit by it square on hard right full on in the face when his grip on it slips and it snaps back. /4 #SouthAfrica #CyrilRamaphosa #TrumpHypocrisy

America is the laughing stock of the world thanks to project 2025 white Christian nationalists and the Republican Party. Disgraceful

Why would any respectable world leader meet with this submissive turd? He has no power he is a circus barker. Stop meeting with him stop reporting on him he is a disgusting disgrace of a human that should go quietly into that good night along with his enabler Russell VOUGHT and project 2025

I'm glad he didn't fall for the trump reality show. How embarrassing for world leaders to have to deal with this.

Excellent article NPR. Thank you for actual journalism.

The world hates Shitler, but it isn't their job to fix our mistake. It is our job to fix this ASAP.

It was a carefully choreographed white supremacist ambush. I want to know why the president showing a conspiracy video isn't the top story. Why wasn't this the top story on every news broadcast yesterday? Corporate media is deeply broken.

Surprised Trump did not ask him to shine his shoes

Why would any foreign leader want to come here?

The Oval Office is decked out like a Shanghai whorehouse.

Donald is a white supremacist, so he assumed that Ramaphosa wouldn't be capable of overcoming the bullying and ambush.

A live lesson on how to make enemies and infuriate people!

Performative much?

He had the chance to stand up to the #OrangePieceOfShit & failed.

I guess wearing a suit really doesn’t gain much with the Oval Office sanhedrin, does it.

Shameful that Trump uses the grandeur of the White House to shake down World leaders!

He handled it very well. He remained the adult.

The only thing the public learns while witnessing the Trump attack of a foreign dignitary is how much dignity other leaders have and how little Trump has. Trump is a complete embarrassment to America.

Trump's childish, obstinate, willful, ignorance was so embarrassing. It was the legacy of "the best weapon is to sit down and talk," meets the legacy of "greed is good."

Another day, another embarrassment on the world stage.

Kind of a theme with this regime.

Foreign leaders should not both to meet with him. He's only going to lie to them.

Not sure “carefully” is the right word here

What an unbelievably deranged and disgraceful way to conduct diplomacy... America will be a global pariah after 4 more years of this insanity.

Our new foreign policy, bully people into submission. Shameful, and deplorable.

Right?!?! They need to stop entertaining this clown, Trump needs to be shunned by the world. Meeting with him legitimizes him.

“Carefully choreographed?” It was a racist grandpa yelling conspiracy theories at Thanksgiving dinner.

Trumps attack was weak. They laughed at him in the oval office. What a loser trump is

Absolutely an ambush. Just like they did to Ukraine.
