President Trump announced Friday that “any farmer” fleeing South Africa can come to America and receive a “rapid pathway” to citizenship. “South Africa is being terrible, plus, to long time Farmers in the country,” the president, 78, explained on Truth Social. “They are confiscating their LAND and FARMS, and MUCH WORSE THAN THAT.
