In a fiery exchange on Wednesday, President Trump confronted NBC News reporter Peter Alexander, who he dismissed as a self-hating White liberal, during a discussion in the Oval Office concerning the admission of White South African refugees into the United States.
As the meeting commenced with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Alexander attempted to corner Trump by insinuating that his policies were racially motivated. He queried the President, asking, “Can you explain to America why it’s appropriate to welcome White Afrikaners here rather than the millions of South Americans and other illegal immigrants, many of whom have criminal backgrounds, that have entered the country under Biden’s administration?”
Trump responded with characteristic bombast, asserting, “This is a group, NBC, that is truly fake news. They ask a lot of questions in a very pointed way. They’re not questions; they’re statements.” He then elaborated on his rationale for accepting South African refugees amidst broader immigration concerns.
WATCH:
Alexander: Mr. President, you’ve brought White Afrikaner refugees here. Can you explain to America why it’s appropriate to welcome White Afrikaners when other refugees like Afghans, Venezuelans, and Haitians have had their protective status revoked?
Trump: This is a group, NBC, that is truly fake news. They ask a lot of questions in a very pointed way. They’re not questions; they’re statements. We’ve had tremendous complaints about Africa and other countries. People are expressing concerns about the situation in Africa. When you say we don’t take others, just look at the southern border. We’ve allowed 20 million people to come through our border, unchecked and unvetted, many of whom are criminals, coming from prisons, mental institutions, and even street gangs.
So don’t say we don’t take them. We do take them, and we’re trying to remove them as quickly as possible. Recently, we won a significant case that allows us to send back hundreds of criminals to Venezuela. But, we also have many people who feel persecuted in South Africa, and that’s why we’re having this meeting. Many of them are White farmers fleeing a dire situation, and it’s heartbreaking to witness. I hope we can clarify this issue, as I know you might not want to hear it. This meeting is a bit different; we usually discuss trade and other matters, but this topic will certainly be addressed.
In a separate incident, Trump further criticized the NBC reporter after he inquired about a Qatari jet, which came right after Trump had shown a video of South Africans calling for violence against White Afrikaners, contradicting claims that such a genocide is nonexistent.

“It’s NBC trying to divert attention from the serious issues you just witnessed,” Trump said, calling for an investigation into NBC and Comcast CEO Brian Roberts.
WATCH:
Reporter: The Pentagon announced that it will be accepting the Qatari jet to be used as Air Force One…
Trump: What are you talking about? You should really leave. What does this have to do with the Qatari jet? They’re giving the United States Air Force a jet, and it’s a significant gesture. We’re discussing a variety of important topics, and you’re trying to distract from what we just discussed. You are a real– you know, you are a terrible reporter. You simply don’t have the qualities required to be a reporter. You lack the intellect.
For you to pivot to a topic about a jet that was graciously given to the United States Air Force, which is a commendable act, especially when there was $5.1 trillion in investments associated with it, is absurd. You should return to your studio because Brian Roberts and the management of that network ought to be scrutinized for their appalling leadership. You are a disgrace. No more questions from you…
His name is Peter something. He is a terrible reporter. Quiet, quiet, quiet!
