Two quotes from Trump during a rambling, hour-long speech were placed next to one another in the documentary. Trump had told those at the rally, “We’re going to walk down [to the Capitol] and I’ll be there with you.” An hour later, he said, “And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” The BBC director general, Tim Davie, said he thinks the company “made a mistake, and there was an editorial breach” in the editing, and subsequently resigned. While the segment was never published in the United States, Trump has thrown himself behind a libel case against the broadcasting company, though according to Seth Stern, there are ulterior motives at play. Speaking with The Hill, advocacy director for the Freedom of the Press Foundation Stern said, “He doesn’t care if he wins or not. The point is to intimidate and punish those he views as critical to him.” Davie, as well as head of news Deborah Turness, resigned Monday, November 10. An internal memo at the BBC suggested two parts of Trump’s speech in the Panorama show had been edited together to make it look as though he explicitly encouraged the Capitol Hill riot of January 2021. Trump has since responded to the documentary and the resignations of Davie and Turness in a post to Truth Social. He wrote: “The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught ‘doctoring’ my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th. “Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt ‘Journalists.’ These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy! I always have thoughts, [and] on this particular Tuesday morning, I have thoughts 13 days after the shutdown ended,” Enten said. “I think it’s pretty clear, at least from a political angle, that Democrats won the shutdown. Why do I say that? Well, first, let’s take a look at Donald Trump’s net approval rating. It’s way down from where it was pre-shutdown, right? Pre-shutdown his net approval rating was at minus-10 points, now it’s at minus-15 points the lowest his net approval rating has been during his entire second term in office. So the shutdown, it might have initially been helping Donald Trump out a little bit, or at least his ratings weren’t falling,” Enten added, “but now his ratings have sunk to a term-two low.” Even worse for Republicans is that Democrats expanded their lead among likely voters since the shutdown ended, Enten said. “You know, a lot of times we look at, okay, what’s congressional Democrats’ approval rating?” Enten said. “I think that’s the wrong way to look at it, because what Democrats want is they want to get back into power, and the way they’re going to get back into power is by winning the 2026 midterm elections, unless, of course, there are so many House Republicans who resign over the course of the next year, although that’s not likely to happen. “But take a look at the generic congressional ballot pre-shutdown: They were ahead by three points. Where are they now? They’re ahead by five points. Their lead has widened, it has extended, when you look at those who are absolutely certain to vote that is likely voters. We saw that in the Marquette University Law School poll last week, this five-point lead went to nine points. So the Democratic lead on the generic ballot has widened, Donald Trump’s political position has worsened. I don’t see how you can look at both of those angles and conclude anything other than Democrats, at least from a political point of view, won this shutdown.” YouTube youtu. be.
