Trump walks out of explosive Piers Morgan interview after being pressed on 2020 election
New York Post ^ | April 20th 2022 | Callie Patteson

Posted on 04/20/2022 1:47:07 PM PDT by Ennis85

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.)

Jon, with your permission, I’d like to address these never trumpers, especially the ones posting in regard to the 2020 election:

You are the Men and Women those who orchestrated 2020 count on. Those of you who forget all the eyewitness testimony, the press conferences about running ballots over state lines; video tapes of suitcases under tables; dems throwing poll watchers out of buildings and blacking out windows; 5am ballot dumps; counties with over 110% voter participation, and the list goes on. You are the men and women who have allowed yourselves to be gaslighted into, “Well it probably happened but......”

There is no but. There is no rationalization for a stolen election. If they did this once, what makes you think they wouldn’t do it again when it suits their purpose? Then what happens to your vote. It’s supposed to be a cherished right in this country, but you seem to be “OK” with your vote technically being stolen and making 2020 all about Trump’s bombastic personality, which you find obnoxious.

The people who stole 2020 call people like you useful idiots.

I did get about 25 spam emails a day, and 5-10 txt messages, just saying ‘i was robbed’ and to send money. That’s about as deep as it ever got.

Piers Morgan is a fool, trying to be important after being dumped by CNN. Trump was right in walking out,

Too many statistical impossibilities to be anything but a steal. No one that mattered wanted to investigate any of it and they were in a panic to quickly certify it. And that’s just for starters.

It SCREAMS steal, Piers.

“The Never Trumpets seemed to have altered their tactics somewhat with this thread.”

Some of them taking a break from rooting for their favorite president in Ukraine.

“”It’s why Desantis needs to be the nominee”
For Vice President with Trump at the head of the ticket.

Then for President in 2028 and 2032.”

DeSantis will not be Trump’s VP. He is his own man and would not want to be Trump’s “loyal” backup. He will wait till 2028 unless Trump drops out or his numbers drop.

“A simple, “I’m focused on making America great again and helping Republicans take back the House, Senate, and White House” would’ve gone a long way to convince me (and others like me) that Trump is able to see past his own nose and think of the country rather than himself. I guess that’s not the case. Those of you who flame me, I don’t care. When you align yourself with a man instead of your country, I think it’s you that needs help. Not me.”

I concede that Trump was one of the greatest presidents we have ever seen. Despite that, his flaws and weakness’ are coming out. His narcisstic ego just cannot take losing, even if it was fraud. All he has to say is that he will be working to see that it never happens again and leave it at that rather than endlessly beating a dead horse. If DeSantis doesn’t run, I’ll still vote for him over a lefty, but at this point, DeSantis is the man.

“DeSantis isn’t a big enough fool to accept the 2024 spot behind Trump. For better or for worse, Trump is something of a wrecking ball, and there are very few people who served in his Administration who came out of it with an improved reputation.
DeSantis is the kind of guy who is better off being his own man rather than somebody else’s number two. If Trump is the nominee, he’s better off passing on the VP slot, stay on as governor, and run in 2028.”

Yes. You got in before me. I got fired up and posted after you.

“Trump has flaws just like Ulysses S. Grant had flaws but dammit, during a war for survival, either one can’t be spared because they fight.”

True, but he could lose because of them.

“Framing it as “here’s what must be changed for 2024, and why” is a much more useful and persuasive approach than just repeating “I was robbed in 2020.”

Exactly.

People who criticize Trump are not always never trumpers.They want the best for our country and perhaps they don’t want Trump to lose by pointing out his flaws. Name calling shows a lack of critical thinking - the real sign of a useful idiot.

Switch the conversation to Biden and the parade of disasters.

The debacle of 13 dead marines in Afghanistan.

The leaving behind of 17000 pairs of night vision goggles for the benefit of the Taliban terrorists.

The destruction of our energy and mining industries.

The giving of blankets by Obama/Biden to Ukraine when they were screaming for weapons, and then they got weapons from Trump. They are the hypocrites.

Talk about Putin funding the anti-fracking movement around the world and in the US, and the Dems took the money!

The wheel barrel inflation we now have.

Why are so many Asian women being thrown in front of subway trains? Why is crime off the charts in every Democrat city?

Why can’t public school kids read? Why do those schools suck?

Talk about the adulteration of children by the entire Democratic Party. They have become the party of pedophilia.

The murdering of innocents by BLM-inspired black nationalist terrorists, from Dallas, to Brooklyn to Wisconsin...and it doesn’t stop. The fallacy of white supremacy.

What happened to the kidnapping of the Michigan governor, did the FBI screw that up?

Biden is a dangerous idiot on a world stage, but he is being managed by other people - who are they, what is their agenda?

The list goes on and on. Don’t let them win by talking about 2020, because it goes in circles and that is what they want, they don’t want to talk about Biden and the destruction of America.
