Per the NYTimes: Trump Casts Himself as a Protector of Persecuted White People
Sitting alongside Cyril Ramaphosa, the president of South Africa, Mr. Trump said white people were “being executed.” He referred over and over again to “dead white people.” He dressed down Mr. Ramaphosa, who helped his country cast off the racist policies of apartheid, and questioned why he was not doing more when white people were being killed.
“I don’t know how you explain that,” Mr. Trump said. “How do you explain that?”
The American president was not much interested in the answer, which is that police statistics do not show that white people are more vulnerable to violent crime than other people in South Africa.
The confrontation provided a vivid demonstration of Mr. Trump’s views on race, which have animated his political life going back years. After rising to power in part by framing himself as a protector of white America, Mr. Trump has used his platform, in this case the Oval Office, to elevate claims of white grievance.
Absolutely disgusting. Anybody who voted for this monster should hang their head in shame - but Trump voters are shameless. And, let's be clear, evil.
