Once Pravda-like instructions are sent out from DNC operatives, mindless media anchors mouth them in lockstep as gospel.
So, it was with the supposed "ambush" when South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met Donald Trump. Trump indeed pressed his guest on a number of issues, from the decades-long targeted killing of white agriculturalists on their farms by black hit teams that have totaled somewhere between 1,500 and 3,500, depending on how one defines such targeted killings.
Trump further wanted an explanation from Ramaphosa on his government’s new legislation aimed at land confiscation without compensation, and the de facto vanishing number of Boer farmers.
Trump was further bewildered by Ramaphosa’s assertion that the new law would not be used to take private property without paying for it ("No, no, no, no. Nobody can take land"), when in fact that was the very purpose of the new legislation in the first place.
Trump also showed Ramaphosa videos highlighting a resurgence of South African extremism of the tired "Kill the Boer" sort.
The dictionaries define "ambush" roughly as "a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a hidden or concealed position."
Ramaphosa’s visit was no surprise. He, not Trump, requested it. Ramaphosa spoke openly to the media before the meeting that he was planning to convince Trump that there were neither widespread killings of white farmers nor arbitrary confiscation of land.
