Sections of the audience at Question Time cheered when a guest criticized Donald Trump during the show last night. Bonnie Greer, a broadcaster originally from the US but residing in the UK for many years, responded to a question about Trump’s visit. The query was about what the UK could learn from Trump regarding immigration, to which Greer bluntly replied, “Nothing.”
The crowd warmly applauded her statement, showing agreement. Despite interruptions from other panel members like James Cleverly and Piers Morgan, Greer firmly voiced her opinion. She explained that the US has become less civil, emphasizing the importance of due process and the rule of law, which she believes Trump has undermined.
Greer highlighted the lack of fairness in the US immigration system under Trump’s administration, pointing out the arbitrary deportations and the unsettling treatment of immigrants. This resonated with the audience in London, especially following Trump’s state visit where he discussed immigration policies with Keir Starmer.
Piers Morgan, a supporter of Trump, also chimed in on the topic, suggesting the use of military involvement to address immigration issues. He argued that previous approaches have failed and advocated for a more robust strategy, similar to what Trump has implemented in the US.
After his visit, Trump departed for the USA, having engaged in discussions with Keir Starmer and securing a substantial tech deal. The leaders celebrated their achievements before Trump’s departure, marking the end of his visit.
