Election Year or Fear!

Tbh I’d never heard of Rob Reiner, but this sounds like a particularly tragic event and simply confirms Trump to be the tasteless tw@t he is.

You'd know his films. Princess Bride is a classic

But didn't he try to get Jimmy Kimmel "cancelled" for being less than complimentary, but nowhere near this degree of callousness about the fascist Kirk?

I see he did Misery and When Harry Met Sally, both of which I really enjoyed. Seems to have been a talented and eclectic producer if not, to me at least, exactly a household name. Never heard of The Princess Bride but I’ll take a look, thanks.
Either way, Trump’s comments are feelingless and, as has been said, unsurprisingly callous.

Its a classic, please do watch it. A lot of it filmed in the peak district.

Okay. You’ve sold it…if I can find it. Not tonight though!

So Trump has sued the BBC for $10 billion, despite the fact that he trashes his reputation almost daily by his lies, nonsensical ramblings and crazy actions.

The UK Government should tell Trump in no uncertain terms that this is a hostile act towards an ally and that if he wants good realtions with the UK he needs to withdraw the law suit. Will that happen? Doubt it.

The BBC should tell Trump to get ****ed, not a penny of licence fee payers money should go on this frivilous action. Again doubt this will happen, some sort of settlement will happen.

Surely even if he sues he's got to demonstrate what they said damaged his reputation/ was not true.

I know they edited his speech but he said exactly what the edited said just over a longer period.

use of edits (written word or video) is a nasty tactic of the press whoever does it/whoever its done to. GP editted an innocent post of rA's recently to demonstrate what can be done. My guess is that a judge would look at that individual incident and determine if it alone defamed Trump, but that's just a guess, as with most of the law we happy (and biased) amateurs know **** all about the statute or case law that applies

You are right we don't, and our biases will affect our opinions.

Would be interesting to see as there is no doubt he incited those riots.

He is seriously unstable though as his utterly disgusting rant from yesterday shows, he also thinks he invented the word caravan.

Bit of a difference, AF. If I remember correctly, and I’ve got better things to do than search back, GP rearranged my words in his form of edit to make them mean something entirely different.

The BBC didn’t do that. Their edit was one of time. What we saw Trump saying is exactly what Trump said. The BBC cut out a chunk of his speech (fairly standard practice I suspect) so that it looked as if what he said was continuous. It wasn’t and, to that extent, it was misleading, but what we heard him say is what he said.

He’s also said very defamatory things about the BBC so why there isn’t a counter claim I’ve no idea. Think there should be.
