I can't think of something less controversial to say about US presidents than that Trump is the most openly corrupt president in US history. Shame on the BBC.
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.

There is some evidence that on average farmers actually subsidise such system with their free or sub cost labour
