Channel 4 has vowed to expose what they claim to be untruths made by President Donald J Trump as he embarks on his two-day State Visit to the United Kingdom
Donald Trump has been slammed by Channel 4 as they have vowed to expose his “untruths”. In a string of blistering social media posts, the network said it will air special coverage during his State Visit to the United Kingdom.
The outspoken president, 79, today met with Prince William and Princess Kate at Windsor Castle, before greeting King Charles and Queen Camilla at the castle, where the monarch and president “watched the sword”, before Trump was shown archives from the royal collection, where he stayed for just five minutes.
Since he was first elected as president in January 2020, the businessman and reality star has been criticised for some of his outspoken views. Now, while he is in the UK, Channel 4 are vowing to expose the “untruths” made by Trump, who in the past, has criticised the media for publishing what he claims to be “fake news”.
One message read: “TONIGHT ON THE FAILING CHANNEL 4 (EVEN WORSE THAN ITV) THEY ARE SHOWING MORE THAN 100 ‘UNTRUTHS’ TOLD BY YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP. THIS IS FAKE NEWS BY THE MSM AND AN ATTACK ON YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT (DONALD J TRUMP)! DO NOT WATCH AT 10PM!!!”
While a second added: “CHANNEL 4, SO BAD IT COULDN’T BE NAMED CHANNEL 1, ARE SHOWING OVER 100 UNTRUTHS THAT THEY SAY (FALSELY) HAVE BEEN TOLD BY YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT (NOBEL PEACE PRIZE DESERVING DONALD J TRUMP) AT 10PM TONIGHT. WILL THEY SHOW 100 TIMES DONALD J TRUMP WAS HANDSOME AND RIGHT? NO.”
Ian Katz, chief content officer at Channel 4, said: “Donald J Trump loves making history. So on Wednesday Channel 4 will do just that: we’ll show what we believe to be the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television.
“We hope it will remind viewers how disorientating and dangerous the world becomes when the most powerful man on earth shows little regard for the truth. And if President Trump cares to watch along after the state banquet, he may even clear up a few misconceptions.”
The channel will show Trump V The Truth, which will show the president making 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies, either written or said by Mr Trump during his time in office.
The show will feature untrue statements punctuated by brief text-based fact-checks, while the impersonator will work as the show’s continuity announcer throughout the day, giving out misleading programme synopses and exaggerated running times.
Channel 4 will also air the second episode of The Donald Trump Show, a three-part documentary from filmmakers 72 Films, which uses news footage from TV, podcasts and social media to tell the story of the last nine months of the 79-year-old’s presidency as an unfolding soap opera.
The trip will be Mr Trump’s second state visit to the UK, an unprecedented gesture towards a US president, after a previous trip in 2019. His first state visit to the UK saw thousands of people turn out on the streets in London in opposition, and protests are also expected next week.
The Stop Trump Coalition is to stage a mass demonstration in central London on the first day of the trip, with a further protest planned near Windsor Castle.
