Trump administrataion kicks South African ambassador out of America

President Donald Trump and his administration have booted the South African ambassador from the United States.

The South African dignitary, Ebrahim Rasool, is “no longer welcome” in the country after recent comments from a lecture he delivered left the Trump administration in disbelief.

During Rasool’s recent lecture at the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection, he called Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement a “supremacist assault on incumbency.”

“What Donald Trump is launching is an assault on incumbency, those who are in power, by mobilizing a supremacism against the incumbency, at home, and, I think I’ve illustrated, abroad as well,” the ambassador said in the lecture.

“So in terms of that, the supremacist assault on incumbency, we see it in the domestic politics of the USA, the MAGA movement, the Make America Great Again movement, as a response not simply to a supremacist instinct, but to very clear data that shows great demographic shifts in the USA in which the voting electorate in the USA is projected to become 48% white,” he continued.

“And that the possibility of a majority of minorities is looming on the horizon. And so that needs to be factored in, so that we understand some of the things that we think are instinctive, nativist, racist things, I think that there’s data that, for example, would support that, that would go to this wall being built, the deportation movement, et cetera et cetera. So I think I’d mention that. I think that there is also an export of the revolution,” he went on.

Rasool went on to call out Department of Government Efficiency head, Elon Musk, as well, saying it was “no accident” that Musk “has involved himself in UK politics, and elevated a Nigel Farage and the Reform movement, in much the same way that he was instructed that on his way to the Munich security summit, Vice President Vance addressed the Alternative für Deutschland [AfD] to strengthen them in their election campaign.”

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio tore into Rasool on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“South Africa's Ambassador to the United States is no longer welcome in our great country,” he wrote in the post

“Ebrahim Rasool is a race-baiting politician who hates America and hates @POTUS. We have nothing to discuss with him and so he is considered PERSONA NON GRATA,” Rubio continued.

Rasool, who also has a long history of supporting Hamas, has been on many American official’s list of Ambassadors to avoid meeting with.

Those American officials also include President Donald Trump and his administration, who have had massive issues not just with Rasool, but with South Africa for some time now.

Trump has always been very vocal about the fact that he does not agree with South Africa’s “disregard of its citizens’ rights.”

The president issued an order just last month penalizing South Africa.

“In shocking disregard of its citizens' rights, the Republic of South Africa recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024, to enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners' agricultural property without compensation,” the order read.

“It is the policy of the United States that, as long as South Africa continues these unjust and immoral practices that harm our Nation: (a) the United States shall not provide aid or assistance to South Africa; and (b) the United States shall promote the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation,” it continued.

“The United States cannot support the government of South Africa's commission of rights violations in its country or its undermining United States foreign policy, which poses national security threats to our Nation, our allies, our African partners, and our interests,” said the order.
