Former U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Lana Marks backed President Trump’s explosive claims about white farmer killings during his meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Marks, appointed by Trump, called the crisis “dire” and praised his blunt approach for exposing what she called a genocide the media refuses to cover.
South Africa’s government denies widespread violence against white farmers, but Trump showcased graphic videos contradicting their claims. Marks argued these visuals prove systematic attacks are happening, despite outlets like CNN and The New York Times dismissing the evidence as “debunked conspiracy theories.”
The ambassador accused Ramaphosa of lying to protect his failing regime. She warned that communist-aligned factions in South Africa’s government are enabling land seizures and ethnic violence. Trump’s decision to confront Ramaphosa directly aligns with his America First policy of putting global elites on notice.
Left-wing activists and fact-checkers have attacked Trump’s stance, claiming no genocide exists. But grassroots petitions and survivor testimonies reveal harrowing accounts of farm murders ignored by international bodies. The Biden administration previously downplayed the crisis, highlighting Trump’s return as a needed course correction.
Trump vowed to grant emergency refugee status to persecuted Afrikaners if re-elected, a move globalist leaders called “alarmist.” Marks insisted this humanitarian offer exposes the truth mainstream outlets won’t report. She compared the targeted killings to historical atrocities where warnings were ignored until too late.
Critics claim Marks spreads misinformation, but her on-the-ground experience gives weight to her warnings. While urban elites mock these concerns, rural South Africans describe nightly terror as gangs burn crops and slaughter families. The left’s dismissal mirrors their refusal to address border crises or urban crime in America.
The Trump administration’s tough stance reflects traditional conservative values of defending the vulnerable against mob rule. By prioritizing human rights over political correctness, Trump reaffirms America’s role as a beacon for freedom-loving people worldwide. Marks’ testimony proves real leadership means speaking uncomfortable truths.
This showdown reminds patriots why strong borders and sovereign nations matter. When foreign governments fail their citizens, America must act decisively—not cower to woke narratives. Trump’s actions show what happens when leaders put people first, not pandering globalist agendas.
