The Editor's Desk: Trump's SA tweet is the act of a man in crisis
Loading player...
When Trump tweeted that he wanted to investigate land expropriation and "the large scale killing of farmers" in South Africa, he sent the rand into a tailspin. But the tweet says a lot more about the president than it does about EWC in South Africa. In this episode, Felicity Duncan and Alec Hogg discuss Trump's legal troubles and his attempt to divert attention from them with his incendiary tweet about South Africa. While the policy of EWC may be problematic, Trump's Twitter shot has more to do with his anxiety than any real concern with property rights. They also discuss Elon Musk's about-face on taking Tesla private and the many global successes of Boksburg boy Rowan Gormley.
