Former President Donald Trump thought Meghan Markle was “no good” after her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey – but wouldn’t say so publicly for fear of being “canceled” like Piers Morgan, a former adviser claims.
Trump’s former adviser Jason Miller shared what he said the ex-commander-in-chief thought of Markle and Prince Harry’s telling everything during a performance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast Wednesday.
“She’s no good … I said it and now everyone sees it,” Miller told him.
The former president apparently told Miller he could “make some news” on the podcast by sharing his response to the sit-down – while also noting that it may not be the best idea.
“You realize if you say anything negative about Meghan Markle you get canceled, look at Piers (Morgan),” Trump said, according to Miller.
Trump also reportedly said, “I’m on Team Piers,” after the former “Good Morning Britain” presenter left the show on Tuesday after an on-air clash with a co-star who criticized him for having the Duchess of Sussex. ” destroyed “.
Morgan – who had accused Markle of exaggerating his claims about suicidal thoughts and racism in the royal family – said he lost his job because he refused to apologize for his comments.
UK regulator Ofcom said it had received more than 41,000 complaints about Morgan’s comments, including from Markle himself.
“Piers Morgan is the best, he’s the best, and they tried to cancel him simply because he criticized Meghan Markle,” Miller told him.
It is not the first time that Trump has been sparring with Markle.
After accusing Trump of “ misogyny ” and “ dividing ” before the 2016 election, the former actress recalled that “ I didn’t know she was nasty. ”
Trump later clarified that he meant the comments were nasty.
At a press conference at the White House in September, the then-president also said he was “not a fan” of Markle, after she and husband Harry implicitly endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
“And I would say this – and she probably heard it – but I wish Harry the best of luck because he will need it,” Trump added at the time.
