Piers Morgan was brutally cut off as he clashed with Bill Maher over Donald Trump. Morgan, 60, appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher alongside Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin. The panel had been discussing Trump’s trade war and the potential conflict with China when the HBO host became tired of the topic and shut down his co-stars.
“This is boring, like I said tariffs are,” he said while talking over Morgan. “You guys are boring.” Maher, 69, was already frustrated with Trump as the US president’s recent actions meant he has devoted too much time to talking about tariffs. “Did I ever think I was going to be talking about tariffs every day? I really didn’t, I did not see that coming up, and it’s f**king boring. I don’t like tariffs,” he fumed.
Rogin and Morgan went on to debate the efficacy of Trump’s approach to trade policy, with the former Good Morning Britain presenter describing the president as someone who “doesn’t play by the rules” and “trusts his gut, which is often right.”
The broadcaster added that would back the US if a trade war were to happen between the US and China.
It comes after Morgan hit out at Prince Harry for visiting war-torn Ukraine just days after appearing in court to argue his needs for taxpayer-funded security in Britain.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, met with wounded soldiers in Lviv last week, a city that has been repeatedly attacked by Russia since the war broke out more than three years ago.
But the visit was stained with accusations of hypocrisy after Harry spent two days in the High Court claiming he and his family are not safe when they’re in the UK.
Slamming the royal for his actions, Morgan wrote on X: “So, Hypocrite Harry flies straight from a British court where he is suing for more protection in UK because it’s too dangerous for him… to a warzone in Ukraine. He really is as dumb as a rock.”
Just one day before, the controversial host unleashed one of his most scathing commentaries on the Duke, dubbing him an “entitled little p***k”.
He fumed: “Prince Harry claims he was ‘singled out for inferior treatment’ after losing taxpayer-funded UK security as he arrives at London court.” Not holding back, he captioned the post: “Does this entitled little p***k EVER stop whining?”
