Piers Morgan said he is horrified by how his “friend” President Trump is handling the coronavirus crisis.
The British media personality said Trump has turned his daily briefings on the pandemic into a partisan affair, which Morgan argued shows Trump is more concerned with winning November’s election than saving lives.
"I've known him a long time. I consider him to be a friend, but I've been watching these daily briefings with mounting horror, frankly, because this is not what the president should be doing. He won't want me saying this, but I'm gonna say it anyway," Morgan told CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday.
Morgan said all Trump had to do was be calm, show authority and empathy, and tell the truth.
"At almost every level of that, Donald Trump at the moment is failing the American people," he said. “He’s turning these briefings into a self-aggrandizing, self-justifying, overly defensive, politically partisan — almost like a rally to him."
“Donald Trump, if he’s listening to this or watching, you will win the election in November if you get this right," Morgan added. "If you stop making it about yourself and make it about the American people and show that you care about them over yourself, you will win. … If you don't get it right, more Americans are going to die.”
The media are turning it into a partisan affair, and Trump has to respond to their blatant and shameless lies.
Piers is a jagoff and has always been one.
Or just let the MSM run the Democrat playbook and scare everyone with misinformation?
Piers is one of the most thin-skinned, defensive people on the planer. F him.
Yeah, just stand there with a big “Kick Me!” sign, like Dumbya did.
Just another lying leftist that hates the greatness and good that Trump stands for. He and his ilk have nothing else to provide to the world. Hate, lies and baseless contempt. The radical left.
Worry about your own freaking country going down the drain and quit worrying about how we run ours you slime ball. Damned foreigners seem to think we actually give a damned about what they think. Freaking A-hole. I am about sick of this guy.
You didn't do anything.
You did the wrong thing.
You didn't do enough.
So they're going with all at once.
Says the Brit who doesn’t know what a constitutional republic is
I agree with you. Especially after his the media unloaded on Bush after Katrina. Like I don’t know what Trump could do as these media people go after him.
As far as I can tell, Pres. Trump has done the right thing once we found the Chi-Coms lying about COVID-19. China is still not being straight about the pandemic. Do some research, Piers.
Piers, do not criticize a person until you walk a mile in their shoes.
Piers is also a hoplophobic wanker.
I’ve been starting to go glassy-eyed in his Coronavirus pressers.
Same stuff. Yet every now and again he throws a gem in there...
Inline how they tell him under what circuit he’ll win the election
Specifically, “how” is Trump mishandling the Coronarvirus flap? Details are absent from Morgan’s criticism.
By any objective metric that is simply not true. Maybe lying enough will fool more people and make them forget that Biden is a puppet of Red China
Yes, that is in the first Chapter of the GOP playbook.
