BBCs Trump deception is a stain on all of Britain and its just one bit of its bias
If you come for Donald J.Trump, you better not miss.That’s a lesson the BBC just learned the hard way.The Beeb went after Trump, slurring him with vicious lies.It used its flagship current-affairs show to defame him as a fascistic monster who stirred up violence at the US Capitol on Jan.
