KOPPIES, FREE STATE — The president of the Economic Freedom Fighters, Julius Malema, blasted United States President Donald Trump during the party's by-election campaigning in Koppies, Free State, on 25 May 2025. He closed his speech off with the Kill the Boer chant.

Malema roasts Donald Trump

The TikTok account News Nexus Official posted a video of Malema's address on its @NewsNexusOfficial TikTok account. In the video, Malema said he will never be intimidated by America or Donald Trump. He said they were talking about him. He said the attendees of the bilateral meeting between Trump and President Cyril Ramaphosa were gossiping about him.

"If they were not gossiping about me, they could have called me into that meeting. I would have answered everything that Donald Trump wanted from us. They're scared of me," he said.

Malema said Trump would never confront him about the singing of the Kill the Boer song in South Africa because Malema would confront him with the truth. He called Ramaphosa a coward and said that he was shaking in fear of Trump.
