Piers Morgan was ridiculed for ‘shameful’ support of Trump’s trash stunt

Piers Morgan was ridiculed for ‘shameful’ support of Trump’s trash stunt

There are just a few days left until the end of the US presidential election, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris going to great lengths to secure votes – and Piers Morgan is a particular fan of Trump’s latest stunt.

Earlier this week, days after trying to portray himself as an everyman, Trump’s attempt to mock outgoing President Joe Biden backfired somewhat after he once again proved to be the butt of many jokes.

After arriving in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Wednesday (October 30), Trump was seen wearing a bright orange vest and after disembarking from his private plane, he boarded a garbage truck and conducted an investigation. speech in the outfit.

The jokes started shortly after Trump asked reporters, “What do you think of my garbage truck?” He said the stunt was “in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” who his supporters previously called “trash.”

Trump added that Biden “should be ashamed of himself.”

While many pointed out the irony of staging a photo opportunity in a garbage truck, Piers Morgan was a fan of the viral stunt, writing on X/Twitter: “I didn’t think anything could be better than McDonald’s stunt, but this is…”

Morgan was referring to another viral stunt that saw Trump working an air fryer at a McDonald’s restaurant in suburban Pennsylvania.

The former Good morning Great Britain The host accompanied his post with some clapping hand emojis and later called Trump a “marketing genius” during an appearance on Fox News.

While many agreed with Morgan and called Trump “hilarious,” there was a vocal contingent who called Morgan “pathetic” for his “creepy” message, with one social media user writing, “The garbage collector outfit doesn’t give a fuck. *sentence.”

Many also pointed out a discrepancy with Morgan’s “embarrassing” comment – the fact that he called it a “stunt.”

“For someone who claims to care so much about policy, you will absolutely do whatever you can to highlight these lame stunts,” one person wrote, while another added, “Yes, stunts are so presidential.”

Another person chimed in: “Some are creeping over this, to be honest.”

This isn’t the first time Morgan has been ridiculed for commenting on a news story about Trump.

In May, when a jury found Republican politician Trump guilty on all counts during his hush-money trial, making him the first convicted felon to run for the White House, Morgan jumped to his defense.

Shortly after the guilty verdict was announced, Morgan, who interviewed Trump in 2022, said: wrote on X/Twitter: “This is a sad, shameful and ridiculous day for America.

“To drag a former president, who wants to run for president again, through criminal court over something so trivial feels like a massive overreach and an incredibly divisive and clearly politically partisan action.”
