Promotional clips for Piers Morgan’s already-taped but yet-to-air interview with former President Donald Trump make their exchange seem incendiary, and during a Sunday appearance on Fox News, Morgan said the difference of opinion is over the 2020 Presidential election results.
Morgan believes that Trump’s allegations of election fraud have no basis in reality, but Trump apparently has continued to double-down on the claims and grew testy when challenged on them during his sit-down with Morgan.
“It was uncomfortable,” Morgan said on Fox News. "I've never seen him like that. He was very angry. Quite profane, in fact.”
Morgan, a former winner of Trump’s reality series “The Celebrity Apprentice,” then talked about what happened when he told Trump he wasn’t buying the rigged-election claims.
“At that point, the fuse kind of went with him,” Morgan said. “He started insulting me, called me a fool seven times. I was very respectful back, I accepted if he wanted to call me that. That's fine. But he wasn't going to change my mind… He couldn't accept that. He has a kind of blind, pathological belief that it was taken from him.”
Morgan has repeatedly rebuked Trump publicly since Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election, but Trump has yet to concede in any meaningful way and continues to call the election fraudulent at political rallies, even after over 60 defeats in the court system.
Morgan’s interview will air on TalkTV Monday.
