We know that Donald Trump is crushing it over there in the U.S., despite his repeated attempts to put his foot in his mouth.

Take for example the latest outrage, Trump saying women who have illegal abortions should be ‘punished’. Of course he is now backtracking and using that ‘taken out of context’ spiel, but that hasn’t yet dented his numbers at the polls.

Nor has it his support on social media – case in point this Facebook group, currently rocking out at 81 members, called #SouthAfricansForTrump:

The South African describes the group as follows:

A Facebook group entitled #SouthAfricansForTrump describes itself as a site which “caters for people who support free thinkers like Donald Trump – People who are unconcerned about the establishment and about trying to appease those prescribing solely to political correctness”…

The group’s creator, Shane Ryan Brody, posts about why South Africa needs someone like Donald Trump as he has promised to “sort out” African dictators like Robert Mugabe if he is elected president.

Let’s take a look at some of the more recent postings:

The love isn’t exactly mutual, as these past Trump tweets make clear:

Yes guys, South Africa could really use a racist bigot running our country couldn’t it?

This one is for your next group post #SouthAfricansForTrump, you can thank us later.
