"To clarify, ZERO alcohol was involved in the incident." Morgan currently hosts his eponymous YouTube talk show, Piers Morgan Uncensored. Morgan's relationship with Trump has run hot and cold. They were initially friends as Morgan won the Trump-hosted Celebrity Apprentice in 2008. But his opinion of the president shifted near the end of Trump's first term as Morgan was disappointed in how he responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and attacked him in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Trump also sat for a contentious interview with Morgan in 2022 before the pair reportedly buried the hatchet amid Trump's 2024 election win. Last month, though, when Trump criticized Rob Reiner after the acclaimed director and his wife were killed in their home, Morgan said the comments crossed "every line of basic human decency." This weekend, prior to announcing his fall, Morgan poked fun at Trump's threat to impose tariffs on European countries that opposed his effort to secure U.S. control of Greenland. "Britain should repurchase America," Morgan wrote on X. "After all, it was ours once, and it would enhance our North Atlantic security. If you don't sell it to us, President Trump, we're going to impose tariffs on the U.S. and any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal. Fair?"
