Criticism of Donald Trump
Piers Morgan has a complex history with Donald Trump. Once a supporter, he has increasingly criticized the former president since the January 6 insurrection in 2021. Morgan expressed his shock at Trump’s actions during this period, highlighting how Trump exacerbated the situation. He noted, “He has played down to the very worst expectations of his worst critics.”
On his talk show, “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” Morgan has frequently called out Trump. Recently, he condemned Trump’s comments regarding the late director Rob Reiner after Reiner and his wife were found murdered in December 2022. Trump’s remarks about Reiner, who suffered from what he termed “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” were deemed by Morgan as crossing a line of basic human decency.
As Piers Morgan continues his recovery, the intersection of his health and political commentary remains a focal point of public interest.
