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.)

Bye Bye, Pierce....
No, it isn’t. Stop spreading that lie. When was the last time you were in Georgia?
I wasn’t trying to split hairs. I was trying to be accurate so that what I was saying wouldn’t be misrepresented.
Nobody I know thinks he’s God, but they fo like what he did as President. I’m quite certain you couldn’t do a better job.
I own property there. I go all the time.
You said nothing. Absolutley nothing.
Please don’t....
...there are millions of us who would crawl over live coals to vote for Trump
Take your vote somewhere else.....
This is not very “attractive” behavior.
But, yeah…let’s elect another old man to be President.
I asked you a question about what you think. I don’t care about your 80% made-up number.
Sure you do.
“I do now, yeah,” Trump responded.

Perfect answer!
“He’s alienating people by not moving beyond 2020.”
Look who keeps wanting everyone to just forget and move past 2020, RATS AND RINOS.
Trump “knew it”, but agreed to the interview anyway. That’s a stable genius move right there.
It would be Trump, of course...he has multiple resorts around the country and can easily shift domicile.
I agree. The left is still doubling down on the myth and promulgating their lies and fraud.
What I don't know - and what there is no way to know - is whether that swung the election. Of course, that's the entire problem. Those rules/laws need to be fixed so that we can have confidence in our elections moving forward. If Trump made the case that way, he'd be a lot more persuasive. But he either won't, or can't.
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.”
Trump should have called him a stupid son of a bitch, which now is mainstream language blessed from the White House itself.
Why are the British so entrenched in our business? They need to mind their own which is a mess.
