Piers Morgan: 'Donald Trump does not deserve to be re-elected'

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan says that Donald Trump does not 'deserve' a second term as President due to his handling of the coronavirus crisis.

Piers Morgan has admitted that he does not believe President Donald Trump "deserves" to be re-elected in November.

The Good Morning Britain host has been friends with Trump for years after they worked on The Celebrity Apprentice together but have fallen out over the coronavirus pandemic.

Morgan wrote a piece entitled "Shut the f**k up, President Trump" last month after Trump suggested that a potential cure for COVID-19 could be an injection of detergent, prompting the President to unfollow him on Twitter.

"Right now, I do not think he deserves to be re-elected," Morgan told The Sunday Times. "You don't deserve it if you make things deliberately worse, by airing these stupid, crazy theories about detergents or urging people to 'liberate' themselves in Democrat states.

"He is rousing people to view Democrat senators as tyrannical people. And they're all heavily armed with semi-automatic weapons, and if, God forbid, they lose their jobs, have no income, are angry and are persuaded by Trump that his political opponents are being tyrannical, I can see some very ugly scenes. Aided and abetted by the president. And it's shameful."

Trump had been a shoo-in for a second term before the coronavirus crisis struck, but Democratic frontrunner Joe Biden's odds have shortened considerably over the last month.
