One of President Donald Trump\u2019s most prominent defenders in the mainstream media, British broadcaster Piers Morgan, got into a tense exchange with an American conservative commentator on Tuesday after he was accused of sucking up to Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have decided you know better than me what you think is important, and I would say that is not necessarily true,\u201d Morgan told The Bulwark\u2019s Tim Miller in a podcast that appeared on Tuesday. Morgan, who met Trump when in 2008 he appeared on the future president\u2019s reality TV show \u201cThe Celebrity Apprentice\u201d (Morgan ultimately won), went on to say that \u201ca lot of the woke issues actually are things of legitimate mass concern. I’ll give you an example: the ongoing furor around trans athletes in women’s sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Miller asked \u201cWho cares?\u201d to Morgan\u2019s concern, the broadcaster replied that \u201cif you actually go out in the street and ask a thousand people what they think about that, (a) they would care, and (b) they think it’s complete nonsense. And what my liberal friends do \u2014 the terrible mistake you make, I’m afraid, when you try to say nobody cares \u2014 is you’re missing the fact that they do care. And, you know, it was people like Joe Biden \u2014 when he made it clear he thought it was fine for trans women to compete in women’s sport, Americans actually went, \u2018This is nonsense,\u2019 which is why he lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller responded by saying, \u201cMy point is not that nobody cares. My point is that, in the grand scheme of things, you’re covering a news show, having so many segments about the fifth-place performer in a women’s high school swim match.\u201d To illustrate his point, Miller accused Morgan of creating \u201cfalse balance\u201d between Trump\u2019s policies and Biden\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn one hand, Trump got us into a stupid war,\u201d Miller said. \u201cOn the other hand, oh my goodness, there was a lacrosse match that had a girl in it, in West Virginia.\u201d When Morgan tried to change the subject, Miller accused him of \u201cwalking past my criticism\u201d of how Morgan focused on \u201ccrazy liberal s\u2014\u2014\u201d while ignoring \u201ccrazy, random conservative s\u2014\u2014\u201d such as that happening in Miller\u2019s state of Louisiana. Then the two men pivoted to discussing Trump.<\/p>\n

Miller pointed out that in November, Morgan wrote a New York Post editorial in which he claimed Trump is \u201cready to be one of America’s great presidents,\u201d asking if Morgan still believes that. While qualifying his defense by saying that Trump \u201cunfortunately has reverted to type\u201d and compromised his legacy by breaking his promise to not start new wars, he then insisted that Trump could still be remembered as a great president. He also repeatedly insinuated throughout the interview that those who harshly criticize the president have \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller eventually admitted he was \u201cfrustrated\u201d with the conversation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy counterpoint to that is: okay, what do you want me to do, be a liar?\u201d Miller asked Morgan. \u201cShine his turds? Pretend like he’s something that he’s not? I mean, look \u2014 the honest truth is, everybody who goes to work for Trump and then has a falling out with him and leaves sounds like me in the end. I mean, [former chief of staff] John Kelly \u2014 thought he’s a fascist. [Former Secretary of Defense Jim] Mattis. [Former communicators director Anthony] Scaramucci. We go down the list, they all sound like me, because I’m saying the truth about him.\u201d<\/p>\n

After initially citing the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and a variety of Muslim-majority countries (including Bahrain, Sudan, the United Arab Emirates and Morocco) but failed to address the Israel-Palestine conflict, Morgan replaced that policy with praising Trump for shutting down the US southern border.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou said the thing you wanted to say, Piers,\u201d Miller told Morgan. \u201cThe numbers are so great because at the border they came in and got turned around, and that counts as one. What Trump is doing is not only shutting down the border, but also menacing people in cities, in the interior of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately Morgan declared that Trump should not be judged until the end of his second term.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you had a referendum aspect to your presidential system, fine,\u201d Morgan said. \u201cYou don’t, you elect a president for four years, and I think presidents should be judged at the end of four years.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is not Morgan\u2019s first flirtation with controversy over his opinionated takes on American politics. For instance in February he defended Trump\u2019s suppression of the Epstein files, which include details about his longtime friendship with the late child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, by saying Trump has not been proved to have done anything criminal and that \u201ca lot of stuff in those files that are clearly fantastic and malicious.\u201d<\/p>\n
