Former US President Donald Trump seems to have slipped out of an interview with Pierce Morgan after being questioned about losing the 2020 election.
A dramatic 30-second commercial for Morgan’s new show, Piers Morgan Uncensored for Rupert Murdoch’s TalkTV, also showed the former president calling the host “dishonest” and “stupid.”
During the interview, the 75-year-old Trump seems excited when Morgan tells him that the 2020 election was “free and fair” and that “you lost.”
The former president replied: “Only a fool would think so.” Morgan then asks Trump if he thinks he’s a fool, to which he replies, “I’m doing it now, yes.”
The 45th president looked defensive throughout the visualization, at one point telling Morgan, “I think I’m a very honest person, much more honest than you, actually.”
He also told the host, “I don’t think you’re real,” when Morgan told him he had failed to present “hard evidence” in support of baseless and refuted allegations of widespread election fraud in 2020.
Trump is believed to be preparing his own third presidential candidacy after losing to Joe Biden two years ago.
The ad, which promises “the most explosive interview of the year,” ends with Trump appearing to leave Morgan, telling the film crew to “turn off the camera.”
The 75-minute show will air on Monday at 8pm, the launch day of Murdoch’s new television company.
Although his News UK says TalkTV will not be a traditional news channel and will also include entertainment, documentaries and sports programs, the basis of his production is likely to come from discussions on current issues.
Morgan will reportedly receive £ 50 million over three years to host the daily talk show, which will air on Fox Nation in the US and also on Sky News Australia.
Speaking after Morgan’s hiring in September, Murdoch said: “Pierce is the TV operator that every channel wants but is afraid to hire. Pierce is a brilliant presenter, a talented journalist, and he says what people think and feel. ”
That comes when Morgan announced that he will also be returning to ITV for the first time in more than a year as a guest on Saturday’s Lorraine show.
Last year, he left the ITV Good Morning Britain breakfast show after a clash with airtime presenter Alex Beresford over the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s interview with Oprah Winfrey.
