US President Donald Trump showed a screenshot of Reuters video taken in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of what he falsely presented on Wednesday as evidence of mass killings of white South Africans.

That's what happens when you rely on Musk's xAI to do your homework.
Well.. Lying is his trademark. Not my fault if plenty voted for this garbage...
As usual, if his lips are moving, he is lying.
www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...
I didn't believe it when I watched that embarrassing clown show he put on. My first thought was who gave him those idiotic lies, and I'll bet he whole hardly believes it. Like the MS 13 computer generated pictures of Rodriguez!
they have mass killings against different tribes yet it's not all about whites dying
This should be top world news it's disgraceful how he is ALLOWED to keep lying
Who thinks the orange dick-tater will apologize to the S. African President for showing fraudulent video? Me neither.
Thank you @cnn.com for framing this correctly. It was completely wrong and was meant to disgrace the poor leader next to him. Embarrassing.
Truth & Facts Don’t Matter as long he can get his staff and team to help Sell and Solidify his Lie, he becomes more emboldened. It must tear something down inside the people who knowingly Lie & Mislead America’s Citizenry. Later on in their Lives the STENCH of LIES must be & will be Hard to Rub Off.
His evil staff is providing these props. They're deliberately spreading misinformation.
Shouldn't fraud be prosecuted?
👀👀👀
He would not be able to locate either on a map!
Playing to his uneducated followers
hey tell jake he is whats wrong with Americant!
It matters and it doesn’t. It matters because the truth must be told and the lie must be exposed. It doesn’t because the lie has already done its work, the MAGA cult will believe Trump anyway, the relationship with RSA is already broken and Trump will never admit he’s wrong.
They know their storytelling is all based on a false foundation and don’t care if the “proof” is wrong. They’re confident their constituents will believe anything including lies.
Trump believes Africa is one country, but do go on about Biden’s mental decline.
TRUMP IS BEYOND STUPID!
What a dope. Who was the idiot who gave him this - did they not think it take about 20 minutes to prove it was false claim
@gtconway.bsky.social Yes, he was wrong, Most of know that he was. But he wouldn't back down when told by the premier. But more disturbing, who on his staff are providing him with this information?
Mitómano compulsivo
Yes, he’s lying as usual.
Why do you even have all those national intelligence agencies?
The real scandal is: who prints out web pages? What a fucking moron.
He is the dumbest of all. He believes everything he wants to believe
This guy's a fucking moron and you promote his bullshit @cnn.com so Fuck you.
Liar 🔥🔥🔥🤬🤬🤬
川普并不喜欢从美国的情报系统获得信息,反而频繁使用社交媒体的假消息,特朗普显然是故意为之,大概是为了取悦美国国内的人MAGA和极右翼群体
But Leavitt angrily claimed today that picture was genuine. I’m so confused. 😵💫
www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...
Pathetic, really.
South African police recorded 26,232 murders nationwide 2024 44 were linked to farming communities 8 of the victims were farmers Wake up America News reporting- Do your job- Even with your mouth full of trumps Penis trump spewing 155 lies in one afternoon IS NEWS
South African Police Service’s crime report for the period from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023, shows there were 51 murders on farms of a total of 27,494 murders nationwide No record of race or skin colour but likely the 51 were white 51 27,443 murders of non whites
Polite note to America From the civilised world - You elected trump as your leader, please honour your obligations and control him Lying, grifting,cheating and stealing by your president is obviously acceptable for you It is not acceptable for us.
There are videos around claimed to belong to a Palestinian civilian having no support to hamas and being 'ROCKET SHOT' while bringing food to his family on an emtpy road in a destructed side of Gaza! Is he not interested with those claimedly civilian deaths??
And will anyone from your organization or any other journalist call him out for it? If all of you would just push back, he won't get rid of you from the White House. He needs you too much.
That's what this is.
And no book by one of your hacks and no wall to wall coverage of the insane person in the White House.
Drumpf's being an ignoramous isn't News. 'Merica being dumb enough to elect him, twice!, isn't either.
This is why we need a real president! This is not a business. He doesn’t think when doesn’t stuff. He runs this administration like an entertainment company. He only cares for ratings and attention. Incompetent president, run by former criminals and future criminals.
While Trump is playing silly games here, he should just stick to the truth instead. South Africa does not keep stats on the races involved in murder so while we know white farmers are murdered and under threat in that country, we don't have reliable stats to tell us how many. Be wary folks.
Just a technicality....
Mr. Fake News.
The orange guy is insane.
Trump is too stupid to make this kind of crap up. So, who is feeding Trump bad information?
SHOCKER.
bsky.app/profile/leco...
You post a fairly tame article about POTUS publicly presenting false information to shame the President of South Africa. CNN has no problem brining up Bill Clinton's lies in 2018 to follow a statement made by Hope Hicks about lying for Trump. What will CNN call Trump's nearly pathological lying?
Does it matter? Even if he showed a picture of Mars it is irrelevant what is true and not true in the US leadership.
I’ll never understand how we elected such a clearly troubled and demented creature.
What's this "we" stuff
The country as a whole
I'm sure he'll extend refugee status to the Congolese.
What? A breather from Tapper yammering on about Biden’s age??? Wow.
Anyone can make that mistake. Africa is just one big country isn't it?
No, trump lied, say it isn't so. Lol
You can get this man to believe absolutely anything if it’s fed through a Breitbart style power point or Fox newsesque video.
It's difficult to imagine that in the 21st century, the age of technology, someone as brain-dead stupid and ignorant could be elected as President. He demeans the office, the government and the nation.
You're assuming that people get smarter and more enlightened as time goes on. The 'age of technology' is rotting brains.
Inadequate education and lack of critical thinking seem to be major contributary factors.
The power of right-wing media effectively propagandised.
No one ever said Donald Trump wasn't a complete raging idiot.
What a freak show.
He only missed by 1850 miles, pretty accurate for Trump!
Arguably anyone could show a photo from Germany in 1937, and say it was America today.
It is, in fact, a disturbing realisation that I am not at all amazed.
Lies. Covfefe. Changing a map with a sharpie. Saying there's stage 9 cancer. Saying covid will go away. But Biden's old. You people are a fucking joke.
Agreed Finally!!! A journalist that didn’t let her answer with a lie He says they are Burial sites and she says REPRESENTS dead farmers......that's a big difference... Keep asking her questions about the lies. She definitely won't be able to keep it up over another year. She'll break.
When Trump has his whiney face on you can bet he's lying.
And? He could hold up a pic of an ice cream cone and say it’s a body and his supporters would nod and agree. What difference does it make. Could have been a blank paper and they’d still be like “ahhh..yes.” They’re in a cult.
Of course he did..... What a putz!
Of course he did..... What a putz.....
He’s not even trying to tell the truth anymore.
What an incompetent ignorant idiot ! What a laughing stock !
What an embarrassment
Seriously, why would any world leader agree to a sit down ambush after the last two circuses? It’s so embarrassing to see the whole tRump ass licking group standing around staring at the president like it’s show and tell at a kids party. They have no sense of propriety or dignity.
For Trump, Africa is one big country with different names: Congo, Nambia, Gaza etc. Trump uses the Oval Office in less than dignified ways amongst the tacky kitsch on the walls. As Katy Tur called it, "Zelensky-esque".
Deplorable piece of sheit
Bet they can't even give us this exact location. FAKE pictures.
Funny how no one cared when there is war in African countries and black Africans are getting killed. Do these "farmers" know that there are no jobs in American farming? Trump deported all the black/brown workers. Looks like these "refugees" will be the new drain on the system.
They can go pick the lettuce and strawberries.
You’re late with the story, CNN. Try to keep up. Guess you’re too focused on promoting Tapper’s book.
World leaders will just stop going to #WhiteHouse if this is how #trump treats them #trump will be isolated on world stage
Another day another lie in the USAski.
And Trump said Biden had dementia.
US intelligence should have corrected this bullshit. But, we have none.
Well, on the picture the soil was rusty colored too and most of the people were dark. This must have been confusing for King Drumpf II.
Why isn’t this story also on the CNN page of the Nazi stinkhole formerly known as Twitter?
Trump doesn't know they're different countries.
Must be an honest mistake. Then again, when was he honest last time? Was it this millennium?
oh wow
As a recently retired HS educator, I used to teach research credibility. After all the “absurd” evidence the current president uses to support his absurd claims, why should American students think the truth matters?
And this is the idiot that millions people voted for to run our country.Still my favorite one is when he was making an executive order and he asked a person next to him. What does this bill do again that I’m signing ?& we worried about Biden ?people we already seen what happens when we don’t vote.
@cnn.com call it what it is, he’s a Liar. Maybe get your own house in order and tell @jaketapper.bsky.social to take Bidens dick outta his mouth and start reporting on this dipshit who keeps LYING on a daily basis. And while you’re at it, FIRE Scott Jennings to redeem some type of credibility lost
He's a complete idiot about photos who let's him do this?
America today has no class …
What a stupid old man 🙈
An evil and stupid old man.
Exactly 💯
And didn't he stop all refugees from DRC? Should send the afrikaners back and bring the real refugees to safety.
In other words the bodies were neither white or South African.
You need to be with Ivana, asshole.
Stop insulting vegetables
Like he knows the difference?
But Leon told him.
So @CNN, not a fucking word about this on their TV programs.
He really is embarrassing.
Whaaaa? He lied? I'm not mad just disappointed.
I think it’s more important to point out that many of Trump’s sources come from the same white-supremacist corners of the internet that inspired the mass murderer Dylann Roof.
Because those are the ones his “staff” gives him? That’s disquieting, too. Whatever we want to say about his first term, at least some of his staff tried to keep him from this stupid.
I think it’s Vance and Musk, tbh. Theyre very online and both promote Nazis and white-supremacists.
Is anyone surprised this mouth breathing oompa-loompa believed 4chan bigots and got his facts wrong? Is it really just you, CNN, that keeps sane-washing this nightmare.
How in the world are we suppose to believe anything that comes out if the Whitehouse how fucking embarrassing this, impeach him now.
The stupid look on his face is no match for the stupidity spewed from his mouth.
QAnon is in his head!! This man is a lunatic!!!!
Lies right to your face
He’s vile scum
He’s such a fraud.
In his defense, he doesn't know the difference....
The man w contortions like his head slipping in and out of his butt and his chums'. Rumor is he loves it.
These are some of the genocide victims in South Africa:1)Theo Bekker,bludgeoned to death. 2)Chantel Kershaw sexually assaulted and strangled to death.3)Brendin Horner,tortured and killed. 4) Annette Kenneal, beaten to death with a hammer. 5) Hedley Brown, was tied up and beaten before being killed.
Wow, #CNN has turned the corner to be official genocide deniers.
"Claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."
South African farmer Theo Bekker (79) was brutally murdered by 4 gang members. The attackers beat him with an iron bar, slit his throat, and then beat his wife Marlinda. This came 24 hours after EFF leader Julius Malema told a crowd of 90k people to “kill the Boer (Whites), kill the White farmer”
Ok, you're just listing names, and wtf does that have to do with what Trump presented?
Just posting names means nothing you halfwit. Fuck off and get a clue.
🔇
Oh, a Canadian. 🤣 That explains it. Receipts below, midwit. www.suidafrika.org

In the image from DR Congo. . . ?
…and the Americans voted for him… twice.
Trump lying? I’m shocked!
What did you expect from a moron who thinks that Mattel is a country? Or that tariffs are good?
@sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social Imagine if #JoeBiden did that @jaketapper.bsky.social! Here's the #OriginalSin a corrupt president who's off his f* rocker! Who pulls stunts & thinks we're all stupid. The only ones' who fall for his BullShit is #MAGA & #SCOTUS #ENDCITIZENSUNITED
Truth sacrificed at the ltar of Trump narcissim!
Did Trapper approve this cuz it doesn’t mention his book once?
@yamiche.bsky.social go back at Leavitt on this.
What a fucking dumbass. Be cool if you guys stopped treating him with kids gloves. Tell Tapper he is bitch. Thanks in advance.
He really is despicable
US Senator Adam Schiff said that clear information should be provided regarding the corruption allegations against Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was removed from the mayorship of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) after the arrest of Türk, or İmamoğlu should be released.
Oh, you know, all those countries look the same to him!🤦🏻♀️
He has a strange idea of what "Making America Great" means.
This is his second term Now let's take a deep breath ...ahhh
pic was taken in Africa and they're black ... close enough for trump sycophants.
Shameful!
It’s all Africa, right? Moron
Did they have knuckle tattoos?
Felon Trump has the attention span of a squirrel monkey. What a asset to have in the Oval Office!!!
We have the best intelligence in the world, and this idiot shows a blog from some guy with false information
CNN should republish this news every day for the next 100 days
Why do world leaders even bother coming to Washington. They're forced to listen to lies and insults.
White boy in the White house trying to con a South African president.
An idiot or a liar.Take your pick.And that’s being kind.
Incompetent ?
Yes,think calling him in idiot actually is underestimating him.
Why is this news? He’s a known liar, habitual in fact!
He lies because his base will never hold him to account and because he knows that the lie will make the initial impact he is looking for. It is the most cynical, shameful fraud and an embarrassment to the reputation of the USA worldwide.
Don't you have a book to sell?
He obviously doesn't know the difference between The Congo and South Africa. What an idiot.
Trump thinks Africa is a country and South Africa is like saying Southern United States.
I laughed, but it’s entirely possible he knew it wasn’t in the same country, but “insert racist comment about Africa”. Yours is benign compared to the garbage he regularly spouts.
I think he might have known, might not have known, forgot South Africa is a country separate from many other countries in Africa. I think in all cases of his 🤮, he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. He just wants to create his own reality and get off on having blind followers.
And he’s a liar who deals in disinformation, a felon and a traitor, and everyone with any kind of political power is letting him get away with it all. Impeach the bastard.
Ignorance or stupidity
trump is just openly lying about everything now…gas prices down, grocery prices down, trillions of dollars are flowing in from the tariffs….he thinks we are all fools and he’s right!
OMG CNN is not pimping Fake Tapper book
The fact that the book contains things you don't want to hear doesn't make it fake. And the book is a culmination of 200 interviews made after the election. These attacks on Jake Tapper are childish and paint a bad picture of the left.
Meant to say that most of the interviews were after the election
Whoops
They knew. They didn't care. They just lie, then their base believes them.
Traitor to the highest degree. History will not forget. Joke of a nation.
He is as STUPID as stupid can possibly be. 🤦♀️
What a sick bunch!!
You gonna tell me he didn't know. BS! What a fraud
No wonder the man in charge of the place didn’t recognize any of it. It wasn’t his place.
Who is feeding him lies again?
So, why wasn't that CNN Breaking News right after Trump flashed the bogus picture to humiliate the South African president. Trump is an ignorant bigoted ass. National media has the resources to fact check in or close to real time. You were scooped yesterday. You chose to wait until it was "safe."
Moron
It's all a tissue of lies. It's all he ever has: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
If he only had a brain 🧠….
Republicans LIE
MAGA cultists don't care what's truth and what's not
He's a disgrace to the presidency. So arrogant and ignorant.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP airing Trump on video. He's turned WH into TV show. Media MUST stop airing him and just cover impact on the citizens 🇺🇸⚖️
Looks how stupid he looks with all that make up on his face
bsky.app/profile/spar...
bsky.app/profile/spar...
Trump just cannot tell the truth about anything. Trump is always conning...never stops conning. The fake MS-13 picture? Everything Trump says is fake, a lie and a con job. So why is it CNN and other mainstream media don;t start calling it that way in their reporting. "Today Trump lied about...
Where's Jake??? Is he going to write a book about the psychopath & all of this insanity?
Wow, can we say MASSIVE lawsuit without saying it!!!
Once a liar, always a liar
Welcome to the Donald Trump Reality Show where we promise to demean, debase, and humiliate our guests.
Competency at its finest. Definitely what one wants to see in one’s leader. What an asshat!
Congo or S. Africa it doesn't matter to him. They're all black (in his mind) and as long as he's following the white supremacist agenda it doesn't matter to him. And he's never been one to get accurate facts. 🤮
He's a moron...Congo, South Africa what's the difference
I hate his fucking face
And not a single person is surprised.
Go home. You are a corporate kiss ass journalism group. Not even sure you are journalists.
Facts are irrelevant to Trump & his minions… in particular Miller. He is vile, vicious & a proud Neo-Nazi who undoubtedly provided Trump with the photo.
Falsely presented = he lied. He is a liar.
The word is “lie.” He lies. Constantly. About everything. You’re allowed to report that.
Prompt: "Alexa, ask Google for pictures of dead white farmers in Africa. I want to show them to the South African president." Alexa: "Google found these pictures of dead white farmers in the Congo."
“Close enough!” Says the bozo in the oval
Trump doesn’t know Congo is different than South Africa … or that South Africa is different than Africa They are all bad according to Trump ….
In other words, he’s a doddering old man who’s also a grifter, narcissistic sociopath, and has a Cabinet whose only job is to ruin people’s lives. But hey, why do we miss that Joe Biden is old? Buy Jake Tapper’s book!!!
Why does CNN hate only WHITE immigrants? 🤔
