This panel moderator sucks. Not enough enfagement with the audience. Blatantly leaning towards Trump and enablers. BbC should hve focused narrow issues. Very unhelpful. This election cycle not biz as usual. A false equivalecy exists. Trump is unhibged and unfit. A 34x convicted felon, nRcissist, pathological liar, racist, misogynist. Aserious threat to oue democracy, the one issue not addressed and should hve been on top of the list.
Wake up America. I am an American and life long Dem and grassroots organizer and campaign staffer.
If ppl aren’t honest enough to accept when a candidate is wrong and hold them accountable how can you have productive conversations
But a REPUBLICAN WROTE THE IMMIGRATION BILL THAT REPUBLICANS VOTED AGAINST IT.
Drugs been here forever. Were they concerned when the crack epidemic hit LA. Guess why they are concerned now?? Because it’s their children that are addicts. The nerve.
MAGA complains about inflation and them having no money but they are geared up with Trump memorabilia, Trump Bible, Trump sneakers……….the lies.
These idiots. The GOVERNMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF GAS.
Misinformation is a problem! Because wow a lot of those people don't know the facts.
I work for the government. We have high premiums. They are lying about these prices of insurance. They need to speak with their employers about the contracts that they go into with insurance companies.
Why is it that Donald Trump and people who supports Trump want to make this country great again? The fundamental assumption of Trump and his supporters is that America is failing or has failed, and we have to save and make America great again. I think these people have no idea what they are talking about. Their assumption is an illusion. It is based on the paranoia of self-doubt. That is why they believe America is failing or has failed. Why do they believe this? America is inventing and building the modern world. The entire computer industry based on the integrated circuit was created by American companies. Many of these companies were started by average people. They were interested in the application of integrated circuits and the development of computers. Then other ancillary industries developed around computers. The people who wrote the commands, the programs, the killer applications that made computers indispensable expanded the computer industry. Then networks developed that allowed computer users to communicate with one another. The idea of networks grew into the internet. Again the computer industry expanded. All these businesses were started by American entrepreneurs. Is that failure? No, that is the creation of modern world. Americans are creating the modern world as Americans having been doing since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Yet we have politicians who tell us We (Americans) have failed. These dooms-day politicians have supporters who believe We (Americans) have failed. What kind of nonsense is this? A lady in the audience who is a Trump supporter is so emotional she is on the verge of shedding tears. She is emotional. She is not thinking. Her beliefs are based on raw emotion and not rational thought. If you believe in politicians like Trump and emotional Americans like this lady then Americans will fail. Americans are a success. Most of the countries in the world are pre-industrial societies. The modern conveniences that make everybody's lives better were invented and made by companies from the US, Great Britain, France, German, Japan, South Korea, … The rest of the world simply buy these modern machines from a handful of truly industrialized societies. These industrialized societies have democratic elected governments. They have modern republican government based on the Enlightenment and humanism. These societies have the Rule of Law. These societies have an open and fair society that can create true "free-market" capitalism. If you invent, make, and trade (sell) something that other people find useful then you can trade with other people. You will accumulate trading credits (money) and you can make your life better.
Most societies in the world do not have an open and fair society. In these societies a few political elites control all trading opportunities. The elites hide behind the banner of socialism. They want to make things equally better for everyone. But in these societies the political elites control and distribute trade as they see fit. These political elites do not share power with others. They are the only political party in their country by force. They subvert the electoral process and get themselves reelected time after time. This is not democratic representation. This is not modern republicanism. This is the Arbitrary Rule of Man. This society CANNOT create "free-market" capitalism. What they have is a "command economy" or "command capitalism." It is how the Medieval Kings of Europe ruled their kingdoms. The political elites and their allies hoard all the wealth for themselves.
I Have to Admit, I Really Like and Admire The British People..
The Contrast between The U.S Audience and The British Audience
Is Truly Astonishing.
The U.S Audience is So Uninformed
On Domestic Issues Let Alone International Issues.
This Was A Brain Numbing Episode of Q&A.
Trump supporters are far more dangerous to democracy than Trump is.
My comments are: An honestly leader knows Character, Integrity, Honesty, Compassionate and Empathy matter. Love of Country and it’s people also matter!!! Jtsdrd
Ñ
I already voted for the only Presidential Candidate who won't be shitting their pants at the next G7 meeting.

Freedom for Texas!
The BBC bias is disgusting.
This anti-Trump event was a joke.
Fiona Bruce's bias (anti-Trump) is very annoying.
The cost of living has gone up in every country.
Fanatism goes beyond limits
hasan uses what is popular to gain popularity
Goddamn I didn't know Mehdi translates to slayer in english, because this man slayed
❤️🖤💚 This Whole Thing Is A Farce…..Why Does The. Media Keep Giving These MAGA Nuts Free Press…. American Society Has Sank Into The Abyss….💙
the host is annoyingly disruptive.
Gas is $2.69 a gal in Texas, Brisket is 2.42 lb, eggs 2.16 doz, interest rates 6.4 for 30 yr, 5.3 for 15yr. however, rents, housing and insurance is skyrocketing and unemployment is deceiving
I can't even finish watching this. There seem to be so many people who either have never known what reality is and that it does exist, or have gotten lost in Donald Trump's brainwashing… It's so sad and infuriating at the same time, and I'm losing hope for a good future for all.
Why BBC concerned with foreign election.
Harris is inexperienced woke leftist.😮
Lady at 7mins completely brainwashed. She needs to disable her Facebook. Dark stuff.
Lmfao if you hit this guy with one more fact he's gonna lose it https://youtu.be/ieT84n53w6c?t=3367 LOL
The American people need to realize why the BBC is here doing this "townhall" of sorts. U.S. elections matter to the rest of the world! The rest of the world looks to the USA for leadership. If we elect trump, again, we will forfeit that leadership to Putin and Xi. This election is so important.
The delusion from these Trump supporters is absolutely astounding and frankly frightening.
Lol, it’s wild to watch American politics. It’s shocking to hear someone call Trump a numbers guy. I just don’t get it. He went bankrupt four times, which doesn’t usually align with what most people would consider a numbers person. You could argue he hasn't learned from his many, many failures—like the USFL, Trump Steaks, Trump Vodka, Trump University, Trump Mortgage, and Trump Ice—but now he’s at it again with his latest venture: Trump Bibles and a Declaration of Independence combo. It feels like a blatant disregard for the Constitution's separation of church and state.
To me, Trump has always seemed like a snake oil salesman that no one took seriously, but he’s incredibly skilled at it. It’s crazy to see Americans almost worship him, turning a blind eye to his bizarre character. That just seems like a strange choice for a president. As someone who travels and engages with locals, I can’t think of a world leader who is ridiculed as much as he is—often referred to as a boob, a dufus, or an idiot in conversations about the U.S. He’s rarely associated with anything positive on the global stage, except maybe as a source of entertainment while the world watches America’s decline in real-time. It’s like watching the fall of the Roman Empire.
It is incredibly telling how the republicans start by praising Trump for doing what he said he would do, and then spend the rest of the hour making excuses for things he actually said. So which is it? Is he a man that does what he says, or a man that says things that he don't mean?
MAGAs have lost their "cotton picking" minds in their support of trump. Amazing.
Go figure a republican misquoting a democrat
We need to stop trying to talk to the trump cult if they are still trump supporters to this day they aren’t living in reality
