Piers Morgan recently shared a hospital update that got everyone’s attention. The seasoned TV host had a serious accident when he tripped over a small step at a London restaurant. He humorously captioned his Instagram post with “Breaking news,” noting he felt like “a sack of spuds” after the fall.
Due to the accident, he fractured the neck of his femur and underwent surgery for a hip replacement. He’s now on crutches for six weeks and can’t fly long distance for at least three months. “New Year off to a cracking start!” he quipped, adding a cheeky, “I blame Donald Trump.”
Morgan’s relationship with Trump has changed over the years. Once a strong supporter, he expressed regret after the events of January 6, 2021, when the Capitol was stormed. He stated, “Trump’s gone mad,” and didn’t expect his former friend to incite such chaos.
This shift in opinion is part of a larger trend among public figures reevaluating their support for Trump. A recent survey by YouGov found that nearly 70% of Americans believe Trump’s actions during his presidency were harmful. Morgan’s candidness has resonated with many people who also feel disillusioned by the former president.
On his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan criticized Trump for making insensitive comments about the late Rob Reiner. Trump referred to Reiner as someone with “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” a term he often uses for his critics. Morgan called this comment “wrong” and suggested that it crossed “every line of basic human decency.”
Even while recovering, Morgan remains active on social media. He recently made headlines with a provocative tweet about Britain repurchasing America. “If you don’t sell it, we’ll impose tariffs on the U.S.,” he joked, highlighting his typical blend of humor and boldness.
As Morgan mends, he continues to stir discussions about Trump and current political events. His sharp criticisms and humorous approach keep him relevant, even from a hospital bed.
