Bolton Calls Trump A Liar
White House Pushes Back Amid Global Scrutiny and Refugee Crisis Concerns
In a heated media firestorm, former National Security Adviser John Bolton downplayed President Donald Trump’s warnings about the violent persecution of white farmers in South Africa. Speaking Friday on CNN, Bolton called the claims “not true,” despite a growing number of reports highlighting brutal farm murders, forced land seizures, and racial violence.
“I asked NSC staff, and they said there’s nothing,” Bolton said, referencing the National Security Council. “South Africa has crime, but it’s not a racial issue.”
Trump Calls Out South African Government on Land Grabs and Violence
Earlier this week, President Trump directly confronted South African President Cyril Ramaphosa about the rising violence and land expropriation policies that have sparked a refugee crisis among Afrikaner farming communities.
During the Oval Office meeting, Trump presented a controversial video showing individuals chanting anti-white slogans—believed by the administration to represent the real threat facing South Africa’s white minority. Though critics say the clip originated in the Congo, the Trump White House stood by it as symbolically accurate.
Karoline Leavitt: “Those Crosses Represent Lives Lost”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded sharply during Thursday’s briefing, defending the administration’s stance.
“It’s true the video reflects what’s happening,” she said. “Those crosses mark the graves of farmers killed—victims of politically motivated racial violence. And the South African government has done nothing.”
Trump Offers Refugee Protections to White Farmers
In response to the crisis, the Trump administration has moved to admit white South African farmers as political refugees—a decision praised by human rights advocates and Christian aid groups, but condemned by globalist institutions that oppose “race-based immigration preferences.”
Bolton Warns of Diplomatic Fallout, But Trump Holds the Line
John Bolton expressed concern that the President’s approach could harm U.S. credibility abroad, citing strained meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky.
“After a while, world leaders would rather avoid Trump than face another confrontation,” Bolton warned.
But for millions of Americans—especially older voters who value truth, justice, and border sovereignty—Trump’s bold stance is exactly what they expect from a Commander-in-Chief. His America First foreign policy isn’t about appeasing elites. It’s about defending freedom and standing up for those abandoned by global bureaucracies.
