Hands off white South Africans, Trump

DONALD Trump’s obsession with the myth that white people in SA are being targeted, mistreated, killed and property confiscated ad nauseam is not only a malicious lie, it’s designed to draw attention away from the mess in his own backyard where 80% of middle class Americans own a paltry 20% of America’s wealth. Translated, this means that most middle class working Americans are relatively poor and unable to make ends meet. In South Africa whites who make up just 9% of the population own almost 70% of the wealth. Whites own almost 75% of all agricultural land including all farms. The wealthiest 10% of South Africans (mostly white) own 85% of South Africa’s wealth. Factually South African whites are, by far, better off financially than their American counterparts...and this is what galls Donald Trump. There's an old saying that Trump should note....“Don't fix something that's not broken.” The bottom line is that whites in SA are doing just fine and Donald J Trump should focus on fixing the broken sewer in his own backyard.
