Channel 4 Sets Multi-Hour 'Trump v The Truth' to Coincide With UK State Visit

Channel 4 presents the special as an unprecedented fact-checking reel countering the pageantry of the visit.

Overview

  • On Sept. 17, the channel will air 'Trump v The Truth,' an uninterrupted catalogue of more than 100 alleged falsehoods running for several hours.
  • The broadcast will punctuate the statements with brief text-based fact-checks to provide context to tweets, speeches and soundbites.
  • A Trump impersonator will take over continuity announcements across the day, delivering false program information as a warning about unreliable sources.
  • The schedule also includes episode two of The Donald Trump Show from 72 Films, with 'Trump v The Truth' produced by Bango and commissioned by Shaminder Nahal and Vivienne Molokwu.
  • The programming aligns with the Sept. 17–19 state visit hosted by King Charles at Windsor Castle, as groups plan large protests in central London.
