“I Will Never Be Intimidated by America or Trump” — Julius Malema Slams White House Snub, Calls Ramaphosa a “Coward”
Fiery South African opposition leader, Julius Malema, has once again stirred global attention with a scathing rebuke directed at the United States and former President Donald Trump.
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) commander-in-chief declared he would never be cowed by American power or Trump’s political presence, accusing the White House of cowardice for allegedly excluding him from a key meeting.
“I will never be intimidated by America, I will never be intimidated by Donald Trump,” Malema asserted boldly.
He claimed that his exclusion from a recent White House meeting was a deliberate move because his critics feared his uncompromising stance and ability to counter Trump’s rhetoric.
“They were speaking about me in that meeting at White House. If they were not gossiping about me, they should have called me into that meeting,” he continued. “I would have answered everything that Donald Trump wanted from us. If they are not scared of me, call me into that meeting.”
Malema didn’t hold back as he directly criticized Trump’s past behavior, promising he would have challenged the former U.S. president face-to-face.
“That nonsense that Trump did in America, he will never do that nonsense in my presence because I will confront him here and there with the facts.”
He also took a swipe at South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, calling him a coward for allegedly failing to stand firm during his interactions with Trump.
“Ramaphosa could not present the facts in front of Donald Trump. You’ve got a coward president. He left here, Ariane won’t be bullied. When he arrived there, he was shaking. Another president scared of another president.”
Malema’s comments have sparked widespread reactions, with supporters praising his fearless rhetoric, while critics warn that such inflammatory language may strain diplomatic ties. Regardless, the outspoken politician remains resolute in his anti-imperialist stance and continues to challenge both local and international power players.
