Piers Morgan has leapt to the defence of Donald Trump after he became
the first criminally convicted US president in history.
On Thursday (30 May), a jury found Republican politician Trump guilty on
all counts at his hush money trial, making him the first convicted felon
to run for the White House.
Stars including Robert De Niro, Barbra Streisand and Stephen King have
all responded to the news, making their happiness over the verdict known
in the immediate aftermath.
But one person who is not impressed with the outcome is broadcaster Morgan.
Shortly after the guilty verdict was revealed, Morgan, who last
interviewed Trump in 2022, wrote on X/Twitter: “This is a sad, shameful
and ridiculous day for America.
“To drag a former President, who is running for President again, through criminal courts over something so trivial feels a massive overreach & an incredibly divisive and obviously politically partisan action.”
His comment was met with consternation from his followers, with one
asking: ‘Are you serious?”
“No, it’s a wonderful and happy day for America and the rule of law,” another wrote. “No one is above the law and he’s the first former
president to become a convicted felon.”
Follower Chris Wozney replied: “...or, he committed a crime, he was rightfully charged, and now he’s a convicted felon, based on a jury of
his peers, using real evidence, and not MAGA gaslighting.”

Don't know why anybody sensible would follow Piers Morgan, but
apparently some sensible people do!
