To be fair it was far from just Trump bashing. He didn't get much more than a mention in the hour long session. He, Bregman, was equally as scathing of the Left as he was of the Right really. He has no allegiance to the BBC as far as I know. 

 

The sensored claim was that Trump was “the most openly corrupt president in American history”.  Which isn't that controversial actually. The man himself doesn't exactly make much attempt to conceal his dealings. 

Bregman seems like a very well informed and knowledgeable guy, I'm sure he didn't write those words without a good deal of research leading to credible citations and evidence. 

 

The point here is that the BBC, our public broadcaster, is running scared from the bullying tactics of another country's president. That means he has influence over them. To me, that isn't a good state of affairs. I thought more people might be alarmed by this, as there's been a lot of noise about The Death of Free Speech recently. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mmmm interesting.  I think it is clear why they removed that line.  It is nonsense.

I guess you don’t know about Nixon and watergate.  Or indeed Clinton. Not to mention many moons ago Harding.

 

Trump has been accused of various things, but so far not much has stuck.

The world at the moment is surely just the premise of Rat Race (2001 film), where bored rich men see how far they can push it before everyone else realises how ridiculous it is.

So you didnt buy one of his bibles or a bottle of aftershave then?

 

Imagine the never ending of posts if Starmer/Boris or any other PM was pushing and selling the shit that Trump is.

he used the office of President to promote the coin

 

The venture has faced widespread condemnation from ethics experts for Donald Trump's conflicts of interest related to the project and his presidential duties. During the second Trump administration, Trump has promoted $Trump and taken actions that have raised the value of the meme coin, contributing to a substantial increase in his net worth.^[3]

Get into power, launch a crypto currency, make policies that the government will support crypto currency more and take a commission for each of yours that you sell. Trumps are now worth more than his property empire (reputed to be billions), from nothing at the start of the year. That one? To continue the thought from above, Trumps fortune has rocketed since he was elected for the 2nd time, much of it profiting from his position.

 

The other biggie is his ballroom, first touted that he would pay the 200 million from his own pocket but now it is 300 millions, and 'others' are paying for it - big corporations who will not be doing that out the goodness of their hearts, they will want their payback, Trump will want his name on the ballroom, a $300million bung to get his name in lights for eternity. Big corporations will need to say the payback on capital invested will be returned double or more.

 

But... a sure he is an honourable man (?), all he does is for the good of the US and the greater world.
