Watch the moment GB News host Martin Daubney is left speechless after a guest on his show claimed President Donald Trump is the world's most "hated man".
Appearing on the People's Channel, ex-Financial Times Journalist Alan Friedman stunned Martin by arguing that the American empire is being "destroyed" by the US President.
Criticising Mr Trump's approach to the war in Iran, Mr Friedman told GB News: "You have a malignant narcissist as the President of the United States, who has elements of psychopathy and also sadism in his taste.
"This is Donald Trump, he revels, and has always revelled in violence."
Issuing an update on the Middle Eastern conflict, Mr Trump declared that Iran is being "absolutely destroyed" by allied forces.
He stated: "We have very good news on the war front, namely they are absolutely being destroyed. Iran is being absolutely decimated."
The White House has courted controversy by launching a social media campaign promoting deadly strikes on Iran using 'Wii Sports' imagery.
Critics say the videos are 'gamifying' the Middle Eastern conflict which has seen hundreds of civilian casualties.
Delivering his scathing critique of Mr Trump's operation in Iran, Mr Friedman said the White House should be "serious and sober", not "taking pleasure in cruelty and sadism".
He said: "This is not surprising, but it is shocking. Call me stuffy, call me old fashioned, but I like my White House to be serious, sober, and not to take pleasure in cruelty and sadism.
"And this is not something millennials or Gen Z normal people appreciate. This is sick."
In complete disagreement with Mr Friedman, Spokesman for Republicans Overseas UK Erol Morkoc argued that it is "not offensive" to many generations in the US, and his debating partner was from a generation that simply "doesn't get it".
Mr Morkoc said: "You're entitled to your opinion, but of course we see things differently, and unfortunately for your side of the aisle, the American empire is not declining. The American empire is actually funding a very smart place.
"The age of propaganda before was lies and straight up cheating by the former regime versus now, which is propaganda being constructed around a tongue in cheek American exceptionalism, I think it does speak to the fact that you're from a generation that doesn't get it, because in our generation we do get it.

"We see how it works, and it's not that offensive to us. It's offensive to you guys, but it's not offensive to us and around the world. People enjoy it, we like it, and we're going to keep doing it."
Hitting back at the Republican, Mr Friedman said that the White House is putting out "really horrid stuff" on social media about the war, and it is in "bad taste".
He told GB News: "This is not about millennials, this is about good taste or bad taste. This is about vulgarity. This is really, really horrid stuff that the White House is authorising.
"It is indecent. It is not what the United States wants to represent itself to be in the world. Why is Donald Trump the most hated man in the world today? Because he is considered a violent bully."
Astonished at Mr Friedman's claim, Martin pressed the US journalist again, asking him: "You think Donald Trump is more hated than the Ayatollahs? The Jihadis?"
Mr Friedman simply responded: "He is more hated than Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor."
Also taken aback by Mr Friedman's remarks, Mr Morkoc took issue with his comparison to the disgraced royal.
Mr Morkoc concluded: "Well, I think that seems kind of weird perspective to have."
