Just another example of Donald Trump appealing to the "basket of deplorables" and Evangelical Christians, black vs. white issues, get it?

Ya better get used to that fact.
I need to get used to the fact that you are going to help murder white people in South Africa? No, I have a better idea.

You may want to let the admin know this.

What world problems does the president care or tweet about?

Government encouraged or directed and or approved Killing of farmers and taking their land- seizure of Dutch farms with no compensation
The proud Mandela government marches on in the fight against income inequality ? sounds like antifa

It plays well with the bigot racist base of the GOP.

I doubt Christians are impressed by this kind of propaganda.

Because it doesn’t matter and we have more pressing issues in this country. That’s why.

And because this rallying cry about land expropriation is a load of nonsense.

Again, you guys are only upset that the hunter no longer has his gun. It fell into the hands of his prey.
