"One, Trump is playing to a domestic U.S. fringe political audience which I'll talk about in a second,' he explained. "There's a geopolitical impact, because there's an attempt to punish South Africa for the posture that it's taken internationally on the war in Gaza and its claims against Israel."

"And Trump is very clear about the need to punish South Africa in that regard," he added before continuing, "But there's a third thing that's happening. Donald Trump is the master of distraction and he knows that while we're having this conversation we're not talking about the prices that are going up for average Americans in Walmart and he loves that."

Addressing Trump's claim about the mass seizure of land aimed solely at the Afrikaners, he later stated, "It's just not happening. It is a fiction from Donald Trump, from Elon Musk and so many of their friends in the fringe, right, like Tucker Carlson."

"If I could just share a quick anecdote," she began. "You know, when I was at the department before I was fired, we were getting bombarded daily with these orders from the attorney general."

"Pam Bondi signing memos to the workforce that are giving us our marching orders, telling us you are all the president's lawyers, carry out his his mission," she elaborated. "And it got down so far into the minutiae that we got a memo to the 115,000 employees of the department saying the Department of Justice is abolishing paper straws because the president doesn't like paper straws so it is our obligation as attorneys in the Department of Justice to eradicate the scourge of of paper straws and replace them with plastic."
