President Donald Trump filed suit Monday against the British Broadcasting Company, seeking more than $5 billion from the venerable news outlet over what he contends was deliberately misleading editing of a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021, as the Capitol riot was getting underway.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Miami, complains that the BBC “maliciously” strung together two comments Trump made more than 54 minutes apart in order to convey the impression that he’d urged his supporters to engage in violence as electoral votes were set to be tabulated by Congress.

The fat, old, lying orange felon tried the same shit on Canada, so Canada found a ton of new trading partners, some of which were impacted by TACO boy’s tariffs - they are doing fantastic.
UK is not Canada. I don’t know if you heard but they left EU because they were going to find a ton of new trading partners and US was supposed to be one of the big ones. They are in an incredibly weak position and US is trying to exploit it. I wouldn’t be surprised if they paid the bribe to Trump through a settlement to save this deal.
