Former President Donald Trump blasted Piers Morgan as “very dishonest” while walking out of an interview with the TV presenter and Post columnist after being pressed on his claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to voter fraud.
The 45th president became increasingly frustrated with Morgan’s questions, at one point calling him a “fool,” according to clips of the sit down.
“I think I’m a very honest man … much more honest than you, actually,” Trump said at one point.
“Really?” Morgan asked.
“Yeah,” Trump responded.
Elsewhere, Morgan told Trump the 2020 vote “was a free and fair election. You lost.”
“Only a fool would think that,” Trump shot back.
“You think I’m a fool?” Morgan retorted.
“I do now, yeah,” Trump responded.
Trump has alleged almost since Election Night of 2020 that moves to expand mail-in voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic concealed election fraud by Democrats and their surrogates in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania.
“With respect, you haven’t produced the hard evidence,” Morgan said of Trump’s claims as the former president attempted to interject.
“I don’t think you’re real,” the former president said to Morgan, later turning to the production crew and calling his interviewer “very dishonest.”
The preview clip ended with Trump getting out of his seat and ordering production to “turn the camera off.”
“Very dishonest,” he added while walking away.
Describing the experience in a Thursday column for The Post, Morgan revealed he also told the former president that he blamed Trump’s refusal to admit defeat for the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“Then you’re a fool! And you haven’t studied,” Trump responded, according to Morgan.
Morgan recounted that Trump called him a fool six more times in the interview, described Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)

Fools gotta fool...
Sounds like deliberate PR for the show. I for one welcome back the Trump who calls people out.
Piers is a fag….
That’s my Trump!
In 2012, following the revelation of Jimmy Savile’s sexual abuse against children, Morgan said he had “never met” Savile in his lifetime, contradicting a 2009 piece he wrote in The Mail on Sunday’s Night & Day magazine saying that “As I left, Jimmy Savile came up to me. ‘Your TV shows are BRILLIANT!, he exclaimed. ... I’ve always loved Jimmy Savile.”[62]

Fair and honest elections do not allow for key battleground states to stop counting in the middle of the night when one candidate is clearly ahead, only to resume counting once enough votes were "found" for the other candidate to put him ahead.
Over 90 percent of the vote went to Biden once those states started re-counting that Trump was previously leading in. That is just not possible. Only a fool would believe it to be fair and honest.
And mad at Trump after being shunned over WH position.
Would a fair election have people counting votes while hiding behind panels? Would a fair election have suitcases of ballots pulled from under tables?
only 6X?
Trump doesn’t always have the details at his fingertips. It would have been effective had he been able to cite specific instances of states violating election laws, ballot-box stuffing, nursing home ballot harvesting, counting in secret, and Zuckerbucks used to influence the election.
Would a fair election have a senile fool hiding in a basement get more votes than the “first black President” or the “first female ( would-be) President”?
Morgan wasn’t interested in hearing a POV alternative to his. He wanted to provoke Trump for ratings. How boring.
Once I hear “produce the evidence” , you know you’re dealing with a toolbag. The evidence is there , both “hard” and circumstantial…. If you decide you actually care and want to look at it.
Why the hell would he go on a Piers Morgan interview?
He’s certainly an arrogant Brit with an anti-American, anti-2nd Amendment attitude. He illustrates why we ran the bums out in 1781. In fact, I thought he left the US because we were such backwards, gun-toting troglodytes. Did he come back?
Would a fair election have huge jumps in vote tallies in the middle of the night, all for the same guy, after counting had been halted?
F**king fraud!!
It’s a preview. He could have gotten into more details, but this what they chose to show.
Very dishonest.
