Verbatim transcript excerpt from a May 21, 2025 YouTube video titled "President Trump Brings TV Into Oval Office to Show South African President Proof of Persecution." In this spoken excerpt President Trump addresses land occupation and racial tensions in South Africa, asserts that land occupations will occur without permission, references violent revolutionary language (including calls about killing and "cutting the throat of whiteness"), and describes a scene of crosses he identifies as memorials to white farmers killed. The excerpt frames these claims as evidence of persecution of white farmers.

And there's approximately a thousand of them. They're all white farmers. The family of white farmers. And those cars aren't driving.
