The Standard Why the Piers Morgan vs Donald Trump clash benefits them both
Donald Trump has accused Piers Morgan of “doctoring” footage from their latest interview, to make it look like he stormed out.
The TV presenter posted a dramatic trailer for his interview with Mr Trump, which is part of a new talk show called Piers Morgan Uncensored.
In a statement, Mr Trump alleged the clip was doctored to make him look bad, which Piers denied.
The row caused quite a stir in the press and on social media.
The Evening Standard’s Arts Correspondent Robert Dex discusses the ‘beef’ between Piers Morgan and Donald Trump, and explains why the publicity is only a good thing for both parties.
