He's spent hours tweeting, posting & bitching about the Boss & Taylor Swift after 28 deaths from tornadoes & loss of life from CA car bomb explosion & ship collision with Brooklyn Bridge & not a word of condolence or even acknowledgment of dead Americans. HE DOES NOT CARE! Also no sign of FEMA.
This meme is untrue. The Jackson, KY NWS Station was fully manned and functioned properly. The warnings (4 of them) were issued 30-40 minutes in advance.
Please don’t perpetuate lies. It only hurts your cause.
That office is not "fully manned". Neither are dozens of other NWS offices, and there is a HIRING FREEZE imposed on the NWS as well as a ban on temporary promotions. Get YOUR facts straight before you correct others.
That office doesn't even have enough people to staff 24/7 operations. The NWS has made this case to the administration and they have responded by asking people to move from fully staffed offices to that one. A band-aid solution that weakens other offices.
Nothing in that article disproves what I said. That office doesn't even have enough people to maintain 24/7 operations. It is NOT "fully-manned" and it probably never will be under this administration.
Maybe instead of Trump claiming faux outrage for white farmers in South Africa, he might want to consider all the American deaths in recent weeks due to extreme weather events like this.
*also the gun violence, car accidents, overdoses, domestic partner violence, pregnancy-related deaths, too
Thankfully the rest of the world won't have to see it, because you'll be inside a fence with government controlled media.
The rest of us will be living our lives, oblivious, just like we all - including the US - are oblivious to the goings on in North Korea and other dictatorship countries.
I don't even know why world leaders bother at this point. It's like having an insane man child make up things. What is even worse is his cult somehow thinks this is normal for countries to do and shows 'strength' by Trump.
Just cancel , foreign leaders . Make up a reason, you can come to America , stay at the hotel then get a doctors note, at stomach ache and go bye.
See a show while you’re here. He’s a nut and you’re just a prop, don’t play.
Dude, he pulled out a photo of the DRC to advance an argument about South Africa, presumably because he couldn't find the evidence he was searching for. And then he tries a trojan horse trick with Ernie Else and Retief Goosen, but they were seemingly too embarrassed to go through with it.
Thank You !!! Many have no clue what trump was talking about was from Well Over 20 years back with africa Banning OIld British Slave Owners from their Country = well at least South Africa
This is the second time he's done this in the U.S.
No world leaders should come here ever again, not during or after this regime. How many ways can we tell the rest of the world, don't trust the U.S.!
Why would anyone come here to this country right now? It’s so disheartening and quite frankly hard not to grieve the loss of the America I grew up in 😪
Yes, yet another embarrassment! But we live in a dictatorship now, so this is what we’re gonna have to put up with until we can either elect somebody else or eliminate from politics once and for all, the motherfucker and his mother fuckettes too‼️
I am concerned that other nations will start treating the US President like the North Korean Dear Leader and refuse to meet with him. It would be a massive loss for us even though it is understandable why they would do that.
Maybe the RoW should treat Mark Carney as the surrogate leader when they want to reach out to the English speaking part of North America. His brain seems to be working normally.
MAGA is a White Nationalism movement - that was proved today, from the Oval Office. I have no doubt, if given the choice, this administration would favor apartheid
I say again - foreign leaders should simply tell him, meeting first, press gaggle later. We’re here to do diplomatic business, not to be ritually humiliated.
The SA leader handled him with pure class though. He didn’t have a tantrum like trump would have, he stayed calm and responded. I thought he made Trump look like an even greater fool. I was waiting for him to say thank you though! That would have been hilarious 😂
He should have said "Thank You" for all the decades of aid (especially the bipartisan effort led by President George W. Bush to treat and contain AIDS)--which DOGE slashed.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !!! Bravo, I salute you sir 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏🏼👍🏾 ( International/ Educational/ Informative + don’t go to White House, it’s a setup. You have been warned !!! categories)
Trump has no idea what leadership, statesmanship, or diplomacy is. He's an ignorant buffoon, a reality show performer the spews nothing but incoherent nonsense. The press promotes and supports this incoherent nonsense every day.
He should have known better. Hate to victim blame but how has no one figured out do not sit with him in the Oval. It’s just theatre for him never substance.
Jon This is why I will never give #orangeman any credibility as a leader of our nation !! South Africa's President Was A Graceful Well Spoken Presidential Leader ! #orangeman and His Clown #maga Nazi's Make Me Sick ! 🤬
The First Felon is working hard to make the Unites States hated by virtually every country in the world. If he thinks that the U.S. can function without allies, he's sadly mistaken. Unfortunately, it's we, the American population, that will suffer because of his insanity. You can't buy loyalty.
I wish one of these leaders would stand up,haul off & knock the cunt out of his chair,then go for Vance & Rubio. Watch the chickenshits run for their lives.
And they would be heroes to the rest of the world! Sadly the SS would plug them full of holes. But I promise there would be streets named after them, and statues erected.
Pres Rhamposa was subjected to a surprise video and Trump ranting about white deaths. Recently was in SA. Saw Black slums and homeless encampments. White vineyards and homes by the ocean.
Obviously, Musk filled Trump’s head with muck and lies about what is happening in South Africa. Why Trump welcomed white immigrants and blasted the leader in the oval.
White Nationalist Trump from Oval Office: “Look, here's burial sites all over the place. These are all WHITE farmers that are being buried,” showing Red Cross workers handling body bags. NOPE! It’s a screenshot of a video of dead BLACK women who were raped and burned alive in the Congo. - BARRONS
The disgrace that took place in front of cameras in the WH yesterday is another reminder that those failing the US & the world liberal democratic order the most are its citizens. Enabling this guy (again) was a certain disaster that we will all be lucky to survive.
I hope world leaders are getting the message. An invitation to the White House is for Trump's benefit alone. Trump first, America second, everybody and everything else are not even up for consideration.
It's difficult to see whether this sort of hostile, confrontational, diplomacy has any benefits. It's offensive and short on fact and truth.
The world is watching this trumpian bear pit and the lesson's learnt are America is untrustworthy, no longer an ally and why bother talking to the ignoramus.
It was an ambush reaffirming why white S Africans are being welcomed in the USA, otherwise known as ethnic cleansing. It’s nothing more than an exchange, out with brown, in with white. #sick
I guess the real question is... is Trump more shameful than the country that elected him? The fact that a majority of Americans would gladly turn a blind eye to every morally reprehensible action Trump commits as long as the economy doesn't tank, tells you all you need to know.
I think he's actually underselling how well Ramaphosa did there, tbh. He set up the constellation of golf, trade, and flattery, and managed to ask enough questions to seem engaged, never taking the bait.
I have no idea. I don’t know why this meeting happened. It’s as if the leaders of the world think it will be different for them - Trump only shows “respect” to wealthy dictators.
IDK but I honestly think if the World boycotted the biggest events hosted by & in America, ((the ones that Cost Billions+)) For Crimes Against Humanity & Labeled Us a Dangerous Place To Visit, the Presicunts lackeys may abandon his RapeyReich 🤷♀️🤬 Maybe his Assets should be frozen & the US Sanctioned

So ashamed to be an American. And such bell whistles to white nationalists!!! Does he think we can’t recognize how he attempts to break our democracy by pitting the races against each other???? A very Russian operative thing to do.
Foreign leaders should decline to meet with him on the explicit basis that they can not discuss anything with a person that is mentally impaired, hence legally incapable. If US psychiatrist refrain from declaring him unfit to govern, the world can.
I absolutely agree. Trump uses these ambush events to support his gaslighting news streams for his faithful followers. Trump fails to realise the fallout of everyone else being somewhere between insulted (especially South Africans) and embarrassed. Totally clueless as a human being!
After the disgraceful behaviour towards Zelensky, this latest 🐂💩 is not unexpected. The 🟠🤡 thinks he's performing for a reality show rather than running a country. His imbecilic behaviour is 🇺🇲 shame, not that of visiting World leaders. 🇺🇲 is a laughing stock.
The last thing I want in this country is any white person from South fucking Africa I hate that goddamn country. It’s full of goddamn criminals. Fuck those guys from South Africa. Don’t let them feel comfortable in our country. Please people booth them throw food at them cuss.
After this spectacle can anyone really say that Trump is mentally stable? I mean the signs are all there, his cognitive decline has gone into overdrive and it's a race to the bottom for him.
Why any foreign leader meets with someone like gang boss / fascist Leader / conservative, Republican president / entertainer / demented old fool Lord Dampnut is beyond me. Those in the USA know to not bother engaging directly with conservatives, Republicans. Go through channels.
Do they think they'll be talking with a normal, reasonable, rational mature adult with some rudimentary personal character and ethical values or standards? I mean, come on. It's a joke. Read a paper some day. Just cancel that s--t and talk to his underlings and minions.
No they dont, but they have to interact with them anyway.
Don't put the onus on the bullied, It's just victim-blaming in the style of "what was she wearing, she was asking for it".
If White House abuses its guests, it is on them.
exactly - the South African President has to do his due diligence for his people and sometimes that's meeting with the worst people and keeping your cool. It's not his fault that the US has sunk so low
Every leader TFG meets with has more strength, patience, character, and politeness than ours. He's just a big ignorant embarrassment. Acting w/out facts and like he's 12 yrs. old.
It's not just age, it's complete lack of manners and grace. It's not that he doesn't know facts, he doesn't care: Trump intends to bully and humiliate. They are equals as state heads, Trump is in no position to talk down to other heads of state like a dysfunctional middle management.
It's the job for all heads of state - to advocate for their country and people and to keep up relations. To abuse that principle is low and we're seeing this repeatedly now from White House.
It's like white trash did take over in 6. jan, just kept hidden this time. Or teleported to Russia.
I don't know as I'm not the President of South Africa but (a) he may have made some very small inroads or (b) he may have decided that even with the attempt at humiliation - which would be then broadcast widely as it is at the WH, he might attract attention from others ala the Zelensky abuse.
Oh heavens. International diplomacy has weathered several bullies and worse. Quit blaming others - if anyone is responsible for this disgrace and that's Trump, USA and place the blame where it lies.
No they don’t. They wouldn’t sit through these spectacles for Putin. Why are they doing it for Trump?
Ten years into this nightmare and nobody who matters has figured out what they’re dealing with. It’s pathetic these world leaders keep normalizing him and ridiculous that you’re defending it.
Why don't you put your energy to good use and go to a rally or something.
You're attacking the wrong persons - is this because Trump is too big for you?
Victim blaming is convenient, but never correct. That's enough attention for you.
He’s not a victim. He’s a foreign head of government - one of the most powerful men in the world - normalizing a tyrant. And accomplishing nothing at all of value.
Expecting him to treat Trump the way foreign leaders treat Putin isn’t unreasonable.
He is the president of the most economic and military powerful country in the world, no matter how he behaves. He is the most powerful idiot and villain in the world. They have to talk to him.
Yes, I wasn't being entirely in earnest when I suggested they should refuse to meet with him. Clearly they may need to go through the motions as necessary because he represents the USA, which still has great economic and military clout. I suppose I just meant minimize it, don't expect much.
And #47 had the nerve to even say he'd accept a gift from South Africa. He's the most corrupt, vile, narcissist, and history will remember him accordingly!
Trump has America's reputation in the gutter after little more than 100 days.
America will be a pariah before he is finished but not to worry Trump will be filthy rich by then.
She's correct. And any visitor should get up and walk out of the room. He needs to be embarrassed all day long. If they all did that, he wouldn't have a hold on anyone. Leaders need to lead and not give in to TFG. He displays his ignorance daily.
We are actually watching in real time the world making new alliances and the USA becoming increasingly unstable as a leader. This is not good for our economy and the future of our children.
He’s so frickin’ delusional.He thinks these ldrs are just going to sit and listen to his bullshit.This is at least the 3rd ldr,Zelensky,Carney,and now Ramaphosa,to tell him to his face in the Oval office on TV that he’s wrong and basically lying.HUMILIATION!
All leaders should decline invitations from the his regime. He’s setting them up for sound bites and to push his lies. Reprehensible way to treat leaders of other countries when they our invited guests. Especially despicable after he was so chummy with a man we have 10m bounty on. He’s disgraceful.
When people get the phone call to come to the Tacky Office, their response should always be the same. “Sure, I’m very busy now but if you’ll put me down for February 2029, I will look forward to the meeting.”🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🇫🇷
I honestly don’t know why anyone would go c first felon anywhere? It is especially true of the WH & the Tacky Office. Clearly it’s just an opportunity for more. Nazi lies and gaslighting. It’s also an opportunity for racism and antisemitism. 2 keys treat him like Putin does or Xi does.
There's no genocide going on in South Africa and "Old Stinky Butt" knows it! Trump's disgraceful treatment of that country's president this morning just provides more evidence what a racist prick Trump really is!
As far as the REAL genocide in Sudan and Gaza? Trump doesn't want to talk about that!
So my husband has been talking about this for 3 days. Is watching all kinds of YouTube shows talking about the genocide. I’ve been looking (googling) and there are very few articles about SA. I do t get it.
All made possible by an alt-right SCOTUS which on July 1, 2024 ruled that Trump's above all laws while POTUS + a plurality of 2024 US voters much more interested in their own petty grievances, prejudices & sense of entitlement than truth, justice or democracy.
Is it me ..
or is this reminiscent of the Zelenskyy ambush in the Oval Office?
“White burial site? Where”?Said the South African President.
Same chairs .. different President.
Congressmen can represent their constituents if we make our voices loud and call every day so they know we’re not lazy and complacent. Tell them you do not accept cuts for the majority to pay more for the already obscenely wealthy!!
Ramaphosa was shown a video of the leader (Malema) of a minor opposition party.
It's hardly representative of government policy.
South Africa has a ridiculously high homicide rate, about 8 times that of the USA, 39 times that of the UK.
That is the problem!
The psychotic orange traitor uses bullying coz he is too stupid to defend an assertion with strength. Also, it is very hard to defend lies coz there are no facts to support them, only assertions.
Reject fascism!
Revolution is now!
🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈🟧🌍💙
Honestly which country will now want to go to the White House?
America’s reputation is shot. People will not now buy US brands and so the whole tariff/trade policy will backfire. #trump is making America poor again. Americans will lose jobs.
Of all the meetings Trump has had, the only foreign leader who had any fucking spine was Zelenskyy, and the only leader who was able to manage the situation to his benefit was Bukele
Orangeman is making himself more irrelevant by the day. The EU and UK realise this and are making new agreements to secure their borders and trade. China looking to take over America’s role as world leader.
The world is laughing at the irony of life-long racist Donald Trump accusing others of racism. His Republican MAGA base includes millions of Nazi sympathizers who loath Jews, and hate all People of Color. Trump continually praises these racists as they form the base of his corrupt administration.
The world is laughing at Trump and his Republican MAGA base that includes millions of gynophobic Nazi sympathizers who exploit women, loath Jews, and hate all People of Color. Trump is trying to use this base to convert the USA into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy.
Agree. Even if films were real, that was certainly NOT the way to handle it. There is absolutely no one in that administration with a shred of diplomacy.
SA should have responded by mentioning US illegally deporting it's own citizens.
World leaders should stay out of the Oval Office. Refuse to meet him there. He will pack it with his cronies and ambush you with an attack. Don't play on his terms.
Why does he need this huge pack of followers on his side? is he not man enough to meet them on an equal term or even one on one? Is he nothing without his pack of attack dogs at the ready?
A Chinese proverb says, "It's not the pig's fault, but the one who feeds it." Stop humiliating yourselves in front of the world by visiting this damn clown and have some dignity. Shame on the USA. Fuck’em
It's coming, it really is. Rerouting trade networks is the first step. So sadly we all have to tolerate Trump internationally bcoz that will take years to do. Until then, show up at the Circus, smile and wave while your president makes an ass of himself, and you, then a clean break.

None of this surprises me.
Ugh.

One way — don’t deal with them at all.

He's always been that description 👍🫥
You're only safe if you're a foreign dictator or wealthy sheikh. In that case he'll roll out the red carpet for you.
Trade deals and allies are likely to vanish, and in turn the US will be treated as a pariah state.
The market reaction this morning is likely to be another down trend.

He literally described the exact kind of people that DT wants….like the definition of MAGA. He was like, "Great sounds good!"
Those South Africans that came to the US are racists.
Preparation with much more aggressive material is needed for defense of whatever he throws at them.
He has no diplomacy skills & doesn’t play by the rules
He’s a thug
