The long-standing friendship between Donald Trump and Piers Morgan takes a hit as President Trump unfollows the TV host and Daily Mail Columnist on Twitter. This comes in response to an article where Piers Morgan strongly criticized Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic, urging the President to “shut the f**k up” for his remarks during a press conference.
In his article, Piers Morgan condemned Trump’s unconventional suggestions for tackling the virus, labeling them as “batsh*t crazy” and accusing the President of turning White House briefings into self-promoting rallies. The fallout from this critique was evident when Piers Morgan announced on Twitter that President Trump had unfollowed him.
The relationship between the two has been longstanding, dating back over ten years, with Trump even granting Piers special interviews and previously expressing mutual admiration publicly. However, the recent disagreement over the pandemic response seems to have strained their relationship.
