‘Trump v the Truth’ will run for several hours on Sept. 17 and is set to be punctuated by “brief text-based fact-checks.”

Channel 4 is welcoming Donald Trump to the U.K. with a special program: an unbroken catalogue of over 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies he’s come up with since taking office in January.

The U.S. President will come to London for a second state visit this month, and the British channel has vowed to put a spotlight on his “prolific oeuvre of untruths.”

On Sep. 17 from 10 a.m. local time, Channel 4 will broadcast Trump v the Truth, the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths running over several hours. The statements will be punctuated by “brief text-based fact-checks, offering viewers the truth behind the tweets, speeches and soundbites.”

    Yes! But they’d have to pause the video to pop up the multi-level rebuttals:

    Trump: Mexican people are evil terrible lazy criminals

    Pop immigrants are usually the most law-abiding group in America

    Pop immigrants are usually the hardest workers, adaptable and versatile. They usually works jobs that go unfilled without them

    Pop Latin Americans have a rich culture and history, and happily celebrate with rich colour and intricate dance and song

    Pop people of Mexico enjoy less crime on average than Americans

    Etc

    Like, there’s only so much time!
