Sections of the audience at Question Time showed approval as a guest criticized Donald Trump during a recent episode. Bonnie Greer, a long-term UK resident originally from the US, responded to a query on Trump’s state visit, stating that the US President has nothing to teach the UK about immigration.
The audience reacted positively, acknowledging Greer’s straightforward remarks after other panel members had attempted to sidestep the question. Greer, hailing from Chicago, highlighted the decline in civil society in the US under Trump’s leadership, emphasizing the importance of due process and the rule of law.
She criticized the deportation practices under the Trump administration, pointing out the unjust treatment of individuals by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Her comments resonated with the audience in London following Trump’s state visit, where he suggested using the military to address immigration challenges, a sentiment echoed by Piers Morgan during the show.
Morgan supported the idea of employing military tactics similar to Trump’s zero tolerance approach, advocating for a stronger stance on immigration enforcement. Following his visit, Trump departed for the US after sealing a significant tech deal with UK leaders.
