Piers Morgan to invite Donald Trump on to GMB during visit
Piers Morgan will invite US president Donald Trump on to Goo d Morning Britain to incense the British media.
The presenter said he will give the president a call to book him for the show to enjoy the “sheer annoyance” it would cause to Trump’s detractors.
Morgan is aiming to invite the president during his visit to the UK this summer. The presenter has taken aim at the media he wants to enrage, and said a major problem in the press is that “everyone on Twitter thinks they’re a journalist”.
He said his coverage of Brexit and Trump is meant to balance the media landscape.
Morgan said the UK is now a “weird society” where debate is impossible, but he aims to remain free from hysteria.
Speaking at the B aft a TV Awards, he said: “He’s coming to London in a few weeks, I can probably get him out of bed early. He doesn’t sleep in.
“Mr President, if you’ re watching, let’s do this – President Trump on the sofa with me.
“For the sheer annoyance factor it would bring to everyone else in the British media it would be very satisfying.”
Morgan said that the British Press was in “pretty good shape ”, but was critical of the use of one of his favoured media, Twitter.
He said: “The problem is that everyone on Twitter thinks they’re a journalist, and they’re not. The job of the media today is to cut through the fake news, the disinformation, and get to the truth.
On GMB, he added: “I think we give a platform for proper debate.”
