US business magnate and possible presidential candidate Donald Trump has decided to weigh in on the current state of affairs in South Africa in a tweet, describing the country a ‘total -and very dangerous- mess’.

South African tweeters were quick to set him straight. While some were quick to point out Trump’s glass house situation:
SA a mess? @realDonaldTrump – we have issues just like you have in the US. Remember #Ferguson ? #NoToXenophobia

@realDonaldTrump this coming from an American is laughable. How many black people have your cops killed this year? Lost count?

@realDonaldTrump @Bruceps America is actually more dangerous. Don’t use one incident as a measure of who we are as a country.

Others took aim at what Mr. Trump calls his hair:
@realDonaldTrump Your hairstyle endangers all our lives. You should be sent to the International Criminal Court for such.
