Trump Storms Out of Fiery Piers Morgan Chat When Pressed on Election Lies

Daily Beast

The ex-president tore into his one-time buddy and repeatedly called him a “fool” for having the temerity to press him on his election lies.

Updated Apr. 20, 2022 5:18PM ET / Published Apr. 20, 2022 5:15PM ET


Upset that his one-time buddy Piers Morgan pressed him on his 2020 election lies interview, former President Donald Trump stormed out of a pre-taped interview in a huff as he shouted “turn the cameras off.”

In a conversation, set to air on April 25 on his new Fox Nation show Piers Morgan Uncensored, the first-ever Celebrity Apprentice winner repeatedly questioned the twice-impeached ex-president over his baseless claims that he only lost the 2020 presidential election because of widespread voter fraud.

Trump insulted Morgan in response, calling him a “fool” and adding that he was “more honest” than the British tabloid veteran.

“I think I’m a very honest man,” Trump asserted at one point in a preview clip released on Wednesday.

Furthermore, when Morgan told him that the 2020 election was “free and fair,” the disgraced ex-president grumbled: “Only a fool would say that.” Eventually, Morgan noted that after more than a year the former president and his supporters still “haven’t produced the hard evidence” to back their wild election claims, only for Trump to toss some more choice insults his way.

just in case DOJ indicts him, he wants plausible deniability for criminal intent. In other words he has to carry on the charade that he believes he won.

The Fulton county DA is all ready to put Trump on trial for the Brad Rafensperger phone call. Trump wants to be able to claim that he believes he won the state of Georgia. The DA is going to have to prove that Trump knew he lost Georgia.

He is sweating profusely--his unnaturally painted face with a thick layer of glossy sweat and weird pasty pink rings that are his eyes and lids in sharp contrast to the mask. It makes him so ridiculous as he calls Morgan a fool. He seems a complete clown--the scary crazy kind.

The man does not respond well to anything other than praise and flattery. The kind of constructive criticism that most of us would be grateful for because it gives us the chance to correct a problem or error is anathema to him. I've known a few people like that, who would not EVER accept being told they were wrong about anything, and one quickly learns to avoid trying. It's like the old saying about how you shouldn't bother trying to teach a pig to sing, because it's a waste of your time and it annoys the pig.

He could walk out the door wearing 2 left shoes, with his pants on backwards, and I'll bet nobody in his household, or on his staff, would dream of telling him he needed to change.

that trump sits that way because of the adult diaper he wears. By sitting so far forward, it allows for the easy passage of gas. And you can figure out the rest. Remember that clip of Shinso Abe, Japanese PM, pulling back with a look of disgust on his face and rolling his eyes. It was reported that even the audio picked up on the gas passing.

I'm betting that it was planned not only for the drama, but for Trump to claim that he always sincerely believed that he won and still does believe that Biden took office due to fraud. He will cite this as proof of his sincere belief as a defense against charges that he promoted lies in order to coerce Georgia into giving him the votes he needed.
