Piers Morgan has shared his bold opinions as Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th US president. The 59-year-old presenter was speaking to Sky News following the historic events which saw Trump assume the role for a second term.After the inauguration, Piers told presenter Mark Austin: "I was very struck when I went to the Madison Square Garden rally he did for the election itself that there were no protests.

And I was there for a few hours, it was the first rally I've ever been to, and I said to the Secret Service, how many turned up to protest?

150 people. "That's in the heart of Manhattan two weeks before the election. I knew then that the resistance, as they put it to Trump, had completely crumbled.

He'd won it before they even got to the ballot box.Piers went on to claim: " Piers continued to say: "I think, from being a little bit more fair minded and a little less hysterical about it."Despite Piers' praise for the new president, journalist Austin couldn't resist a dig as he concluded their conversation. "Thank you very much indeed," he said."You know him well, but clearly not well enough to get invited to the inauguration."His jibe was met with a retort by Piers who claimed he had chosen to stay in his studio rather than face the elements with thousands of others.
