Sections of the audience at Question Time showed approval when a guest criticized Donald Trump last night. Bonnie Greer, a broadcaster originally from the US but living in the UK for many years, responded to a question on the Donald Trump special as the President’s state visit concluded. The question was about what the UK could learn from Trump regarding immigration, to which Greer simply replied, “Nothing.”
The audience warmly applauded her bold statement, in contrast to other panel members such as James Cleverly and Piers Morgan, who seemed to sidestep the question. Greer, who hails from Chicago, elaborated on her direct response, citing the decline in civility in the US and criticizing Trump’s approach to immigration without due process, highlighting the importance of the rule of law in a civilized society.
She pointed out the arbitrary deportations and lack of legal procedures under the current administration, emphasizing the unfair treatment of individuals based on their nationality. The audience in London, gathered post-Trump’s state visit, continued to show support for Greer’s stance. Piers Morgan, a close associate of the US President, also expressed agreement with using military intervention for immigration control, echoing Trump’s policies.
After the visit, Trump departed for the USA following discussions with Keir Starmer and the signing of a significant tech deal. The leaders celebrated their achievements, with both having a successful outcome after their meetings.
