Piers Morgan criticized Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, warning him: 'Stop making it about yourself and make it about the American people and show that you care about them over yourself'
Speaking on Sunday morning to Brian Stelter on CNN's 'Reliable Sources,' the British talk show host offered his take on how his"friend" is handling the pandemic:"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."
"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," he began. Speaking further on Trump, Morgan detailed the traits that the president is lacking that are needed in order to tackle a pandemic. "They've got to be calm. They got to show authority. They have to be honest. They have to be accurate, timely factual with what they're telling the people and they have to have the ability to show empathy," he said.
Rather than fighting COVID-19, Morgan argued Trump is giving more importance to "winning the election in November."
