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.)

Sounds like a “gotcha” interview. President Trump does not suffer fools too well.

[dfwgator]

Plus he roots for ARSEnal.

[DoodleDawg]

Morgan got the outcome he wanted.

[fhayek]

Yes. Joe Biden in 2020 underperformed Hillary in 2016 everywhere except four key cities in four key states at four in the morning. Funny how no one in the media finds that a wee bit curious.

[rktman]

Bad advice again? NEVER give pierce moron the time of day.

Piers loved bragging about his special access to Trump, how Trump told him personally “see you in the White House”. Like Amarosa, this leftist celebrity got burned. Trump uses fools like this to his (and America’s) advantage, then throws them out when they’re no longer useful. Good for him. Chalk one up for the true President, the president of real Americans, middle class voters who are sick of the latest war being perpetuated by the neocons and leftist/globalists.

Gotcha interviews are so old. Guess the Piers act was just an act making a snarky comment like that.

[Arcadian Empire]

They were friends.

[Eagles6]

Yep.

“But in the end, I got 75 minutes, by far the longest time I’d ever had with him on camera, and it was a fascinating, often riveting, sometimes hilarious series of exchanges with arguably the world’s most famous person as we talked about everything from Ukraine, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un and nuclear weapons, to the royals, transgender athletes, Twitter and Joe Biden.”

See I told you so. Much more. But this is what they chose for the preview.

Would a fair election have people counting votes while hiding behind panels? Would a fair election have suitcases of ballots pulled from under tables?

Not to mention stacks of mail-in ballots that had never been folded into an envelope for mailing.

[DoughtyOne]

Biden got way more votes than their seeming god Obama and their
seeming demigod Hillary.

A tottering senile old fool in his basement, was a bigger
vote draw then them.

Nah, nothing to see here... /s

EVERYONE knows the damn election was stolen. Heck even liberals know it, they give a wink wink when they mention it. Tell me Piers, tell me how come every single swing state stopped counting the damn votes at the same exact time and the very next morning every state that Trump was leading by a lot all of a sudden went to Biden..yeah yeah wink wink water main break sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

It's all "gotcha" journalism now, and Piers just got the thousands and thousands of clicks, likes etc all at the expense of his "friend."

When will they learn?

[fwdude]

The thing is, Morgan and nearly every leftist KNOWS for a fact that the election was not honest and legitimate. They are just lying when they say it is.

[AnthonySoprano]

.
Laura Ingraham did the same thing to Trump.

They lob softballs and act like Obama is a King, and another side comes out when they get near Trump.

[Piers] Morgan told Trump the 2020 vote “was a free and fair election. You lost.”

I totally 100% agree with Piers Morgan's statement. Totally agree.

For all of you dumb Republicans, hear me out: It's an indisputable fact that the twice miserably-failed candidate (in 1988 & 2008) -- senile Sleepy Joe -- is "the most popular U.S. President in history," having "won" more than "81 Million votes!" in 2020, in the most "free and fair" ("and secure") election in American history!

All you dumb Republicans are too stupid to realize that feeble, senile, Sleepy Joe, laughably hiding in his basement for almost his entire U.S. Presidential election "campaign" (only rarely emerging to mindlessly mumble his way through a teleprompter speech in an almost-empty parking lot) is clearly the greatest Presidential candidate to have ever lived. The super-popular President Trump/VP Pence ticket, whose Presidential administration resulted in a booming economy and stock market through January 2020 (benefiting almost all Americans), was clearly no match for the intimidating cluelessness of senile Sleepy Joe.

When will all the dumb Republicans finally acknowledge feeble, senile, Sleepy Joe's au-thor-i-TAY?

Trump loves stepping on a rake. Great showman. Horrible manager and that’s what we need right now. It’s why Desantis needs to be the nominee
