President Donald Trump will be traveling London this week for a state visit with King Charles III and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The trip has already drawn criticism given Trump’s increasingly authoritarian governance of the United States, and one UK news station is adjusting its programming to ensure the American president’s affinity for lies and misinformation isn’t overlooked in the pageantry.

Channel 4, the publicly owned broadcaster founded in 1982, announced on Monday that it will greet Trump’s visit with a televised special chronicling the many lies told by the president during the first months of his second administration. Trump v The Truth will air on September 17 and, according to a statement provided to The Hollywood Reporter, the special will likely be “the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths, falsehoods and distortions ever broadcast on television.”................................

1. The heart just swells with pride to have president whose popularity is his "unpopularity"

on the world stage, as he is just derisively mocked as a world class asshole.

The real fun times are just ahead when China invades Taiwan, and Putin in desperation shoots a battlefield nuke into Ukraine.

2. It says 10 p.m. on 17 September.

That's British time which would be 5 p.m. ET.

My streaming service has Channel 4 so I'll be there!

It also says "Stream free on Channel 4"
