Damn, that first few seconds were so relaxing!

That's how a real president reacts to defeat. Take note Mr Trump.

@4th Chairman or in 2020

[@andrewrobinson8305]

There wasn’t any doubt in 2020 either. Trump and his die-hards are massive on conspiracy theories in relation to everything - it’s their mantra. Surely you’ve realised that?!

[@AlexanderEdoh2013]

Why was the Bill Clinton part zoomed in?

[@applemask]

I think the BBC might have done that to try and cut out the American station logos. Or sponsor logos maybe.

[@Bungle-UK]

Bush, Clinton, Trump….so many toxic families at the helm of US politics.

I loved watching Tanya Sillem on the BBC, as such an attractive classy lady, believe that Tanya might be at RTE Radio.

The beginning of style of substance in politics. Clinton was a lucky president

I like how they use the british political colours.

[@andrewrobinson8305]

That was also how the Americans used them back in 1992. It wasn’t until 2000 that they switched the Republicans to red and the Democrats to blue.

@@andrewrobinson8305 It makes more sense to have Democrats red and Republicans blue. Across most of the world conservative/right leaning parties are represented in blue and liberal/social democratic parties are represented in red

[@andrewjames3908]

@@BendmydickCucumbersnatch yeah red is usually used to warn of danger

George Bush RIP 🙏🏻
