Piers Morgan is angry and Pres. Trump for numerous reasons, but this latest attitude adjustment was set off after the Commander-in-chief unfollowed him on Twitter a couple of days ago.
Piers is a Trump supporter but not in the sense that many of his political base currently is in the United States. Piers probably wrote this steaming mad because Trump dropped him like a hot potato on social media, which is never the best time to respond, which is what I am told.

Pres. Trump hasn’t responded to Morgan’s article tantrum the other night when the British TV host tweeted how Trump’s “batsh*t crazy coronavirus ‘cure’ theories are not just shockingly senseless and stupid – they’re going to kill people,” but you can be sure it’s coming. Neither man enjoys being showed up in public; you can best believe that.

Later in the article, Morgan stated, “I just see a president pretending to be a medical expert and spewing theories that might have disastrous consequences.”
On Saturday, Pres. Trump stated that he was thinking of pulling back on the daily coronavirus task force briefings. I will say I thought VP Mike Pence was supposed to be running them since he was put in charge, but I digress.

SHUT THE F**K UP, PRESIDENT TRUMP.
Seriously.

Throughout this coronavirus crisis, the leader of the free world has turned the daily White House task force briefing into a rambling two-hour self-promoting rally.
He’s devoted large chunks of them to trashing the media, attacking political opponents, telling us how great he is, and re-writing history as he tries to defend all the mistakes he’s made since the virus first erupted.
And he’s done all this while 50,000 Americans have died from COVID-19, the worst death toll in the world, and nearly a million cases have now been reported across the country.
But by far the most reckless and dangerous thing President Trump has done is use the most powerful podium on earth to air his batsh*t crazy theories about how to beat the virus.
And last night he stooped to a shameful new low by suggesting people suffering from COVID-19 should be injected with toxic disinfectant.
Yes, you read that right.
It’s hard to imagine a more stupid thing for a President to say than publicly float a completely unsubstantiated ‘idea’ like that which will inevitably make some Americans believe having bleach inside them will cure the virus.
Yet that’s exactly what he did.
Trump made his absurd claim after William Bryan, the Department of Homeland Security under secretary for science and technology, gave a presentation about new research which supposedly shows ’emerging results’ that coronavirus degrades faster in warm conditions and dies quickest when exposed to direct sunlight.
He didn’t explain why if this is the case, the virus has wreaked havoc in warm weather parts of the US like Florida and New Orleans.

Bryan added that his research also indicated bleach can kill the virus in five minutes, and a concentrated isopropyl alcohol solution can kill it in 30 seconds.
The President loved what he was hearing and decided to proffer his own ideas after Bryan had finished.
His first was that irradiating patients’ bodies with UV light might work too.
‘Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous – whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light,’ he said, turning to Dr Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response co-ordinator, whose blinking face remained wearily, impassive as he added: ‘and I think you said that hasn’t been checked but you’re going to test it? And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside of the body, which you can do through either the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too? Sounds interesting.’
He asked Dr Birx if she had ever heard of the ‘heat and light’ treatment to treat the virus.
‘Not as a treatment,’ she replied.
‘I think it’s a great thing to look at,’ he countered.
But this, it transpired, was just the warm-up – literally – for his BIG idea.
‘And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks out in a minute,’ Trump mused.
‘One minute. And there is a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning? So, it will be interesting to check that.’
At this point Trump stated the only fact he uttered during this medical diatribe of nonsense: ‘I’m not a doctor.’
No, Mr President, you’re not – so why do you keep pretending to be one?
Piers is 100 percent wrong for all making it personal, but he has every right to voice his opinion. Pres. Trump has said somethings that have angered his base over the past couple of weeks, including calling out Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for opening his state too early. Many Trump supporters back Kemp’s attempt to get his state’s economy moving again, while Trump said he wasn’t happy with the decision or Kemp.

Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail as both men do respect each other. They are better friends than they are adversaries, that’s for sure.
