How Donald Trump could leave the BBC in a deep hole - Yorkshire Post Letters
From: MK O'Sullivan, Victoria Street, Allerton Bywater, Castleford.
Andy Brown (15/12/25) tells us that we must stand by the BBC against Donald Trump, who has decided to sue the BBC. Mr. Brown does not like the notion of BBC money going to President Trump
I put it that the BBC deliberately set out to damage Donald Trump's chances of winning the 2024 election. President Trump has no need to sue the BBC to inflict severe damage. He can bar the BBC from any White House or Republican party contacts, he can bar the BBC from White House conferences, from BBC journalists travelling with Air Force One when he visits other states, from coverage of other heads of state or government visiting the US. Such would leave the BBC in a deep hole. Angering one of the most powerful men in the world is not a good idea.
Thinking back a short time to the Charlie Kirk memorial event a few days after he was murdered, and what Donald Trump said of his enemies ‘I hate them', I think that we can take it for granted that President Trump now sees the BBC as an enemy.
Donald Trump has been through an experience that no politician here has had, so close to death by assassination. Imagine, if you will, the joy and elation in the US east and west coast ‘liberal media’.
A question for Mr. Brown: if Donald Trump decides to bar the BBC from events I have mentioned, how would he defend it?
