Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump Meets Ramaphosa…And Humiliates Us All (Again) - May 21st, 2025

Today in the Oval Office, Trump met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. And, in true Trump fashion, turned it into an international embarrassment.

Ignoring reality (as usual), Trump repeated debunked lies about ‘white genocide’ in South Africa, a conspiracy theory with zero basis in fact. President Ramaphosa pushed back firmly, but the damage was done: yet another tone-deaf, disrespectful performance from the self-proclaimed “great negotiator.”

Tonight, Don breaks down the meeting, the misinformation, and how Trump’s obsession with far-right talking points is once again undermining U.S. credibility on the world stage.

Because nothing says diplomacy like alienating allies with racist conspiracy theories.
