Donald Trump has said the US will not attend the G20 summit in South Africa over widely discredited claims that white people are being persecuted in the country.

The US president said it was a “total disgrace” that South Africa is hosting the meeting, where leaders from the world’s largest economies will gather in Johannesburg later this month.

South Africa’s foreign ministry described the decision by the White House as “regrettable”.

None of South Africa’s political parties - including those that represent Afrikaners and the white community in general - have claimed that there is a genocide in South Africa.

    Yeah that’s why he’s not doing the fucking job he’s supposed to do. It’s the . . . checks notes . . . Ah! Here it is. The white farmer . . abuses. Yes. Yes, a topic near and dear to his heart as everyone knows.

    No it’s totally not that his blood has decided to just stop at his ankles and tell his circulation to fuck off, nor his fear of the AF1 stairs (or all stairs) nor the fact that he’s potentially days away from being exposed as a human trafficker of young girls for rape, nor the fact that his ischemic strokes keep happening as a lifetime’s supply of animal fat disintegrates in his brain, nor his significantly worsening dementia that leaves everything open to complete disaster at each and every moment he’s not occupied with something stupid by himself.

    No. Not at all. Absolutely he won’t be attending because of the . . the thing that we mentioned before. The *checks* . . white farmer abusing. Obviously that’s terrible. And he won’t stand for it. Or whatever.
