Piers Morgan and Donald Trump have locked horns after the former US president branded the presenter ‘ratings-challenged. ’The scathing remarks came ahead of the former Good Morning Britain presenter’s interview with the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, 44, which will be broadcast in full on Thursday.

DeSantis is widely rumoured to be The Apprentice star’s rival for the Republican presidential nomination in the US election 2024 and, in a teaser clip for the TalkTV show, brushed off insults from Trump.

But on Wednesday, Trump, who has previously called the politician ‘Ron DeSanctimonious, raged about the interview and also took aim at Morgan.

On Truth, Trump wrote: ‘While I am fighting against Radical Left Lunatics, Persecutors, and unfair Prosecutors who want to destroy us all, Ron DeSanctimonious is not working for the people of Florida as he should be, he is too busy chatting with a Ratings Challenged TV Host from England, desperately trying to rescue his failing Campaign—But it’s my fault, I put him there!’Morgan, 57, naturally, reacted to Trump’s blistering blow, sharing his comments on Twitter and pointing out he had previously interviewed the disgraced former leader.
