Trump lying about "#WhiteGenocide" in South Africa and saying he will put our Sect of State, @SecPompeo, on "investigating" something that isn't true is concerning.

There have been an estimated 1,544 murders on South African farms since 1994. 208 of the victims were black.
The population of South Africa is 56M.
5M are white--9% of the population.
The remainder are non-white.
Until apartheid ended in 1994, all property was owned by whites--having been expropriated from black and other non-white owners when apartheid was established.
It is unsurprising that Trump knows nothing of the apartheid struggles.
Or that they have been ongoing for decades.
But this tweet of his is incredibly concerning.
Hopefully @SecPompeo will see it that way.
