Important Victory for President Trump in the BBC Case

First, President Trump won a decisive victory when the Court said he can build the wall. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on November 9, 2026, allowing the Trump administration to resume border wall construction in the remote Big Bend region of West Texas, lifting a lower court’s temporary block.

Then a judge in Florida found that Fake News BBC edited a video to make President Trump look like he made a statement he never made. A federal judge in Florida ruled that President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC can proceed, while dismissing a narrower unfair trade practices claim.

Judge Jeffrey Kuntz allowed the primary defamation suit to advance, finding Trump adequately claimed reputational harm and potential broadcaster knowledge regarding edited footage.

“A Huge Victory against Fake News BBC, a terrible abuser of the truth, just handed down by highly respected District Court Judge, Jeffrey T. Kuntz, of the Southern District of Florida,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social.

In his powerful ruling, Judge Kuntz wrote, “Here, the news entity created the story. BBC admitted as much by confirming it had edited a video to make it appear as though President Trump made a statement he never made.” We will continue fighting against, and defeating, all of those who try to deceive the American People! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
