re: #75 Jay C

Well, a couple of seconds Googling revealed that there IS some vague grain of truth behind the Orange Anus’ tweet: the South African government IS currently debating proposals for (what seems to be fairly large-scale) land nationalization of some sort: though the “large-scale killing” part seems to be mainly racist fantasizing: so of course Trump tweets it….

There is more than a grain of truth. I haven’t been able to figure out exactly how the South African government wants to decide which farms to expropriate, but there has been a long term goal to return something like 30% of farmland to blacks on the theory the whites originally swiped it from them. The killing part seems like Trump is conflating it with the history of land expropriation in Zimbabwe, with an extra bit of drama thrown in.
