Dutch historian Rutger Bregman, who famously told the Davos crowd to just pay their taxes, got invited by the BBC to hold the Reith lectures.
In those lectures Bregman said Trump is the most openly corrupt president of the united states. The Trump admin got weird of it and pressured the BBC into censoring that statement.
