Piers Morgan said he is horrified by how his “friend†President Trump is handling the coronavirus crisis.
The British media personality said Trump has turned his daily briefings on the pandemic into a partisan affair, which Morgan argued shows Trump is more concerned with winning November’s election than saving lives.
"I've known him a long time. I consider him to be a friend, but I've been watching these daily briefings with mounting horror, frankly, because this is not what the president should be doing. He won't want me saying this, but I'm gonna say it anyway," Morgan told CNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday.
Morgan said all Trump had to do was be calm, show authority and empathy, and tell the truth.
"At almost every level of that, Donald Trump at the moment is failing the American people," he said. “He’s turning these briefings into a self-aggrandizing, self-justifying, overly defensive, politically partisan — almost like a rally to him."
“Donald Trump, if he’s listening to this or watching, you will win the election in November if you get this right," Morgan added. "If you stop making it about yourself and make it about the American people and show that you care about them over yourself, you will win. … If you don't get it right, more Americans are going to die.â€
