Piers Morgan Reacts To Donald Trump's Cnn Town Hall Appearance

A Familiar Rerun

Well, good evening and welcome to the uncensored world of Piers Morgan. Once again, Donald Trump has found himself back in the spotlight, where he thrives. He's leading cable news, making headlines across the globe, and right in the middle of a storm that he himself has created. And what is this storm all about? Of course, it's all about him.

When grilled about holding classified documents at Mar-A-Lago, he simply attacked CNN's Caitlin Collins instead of answering the question directly. It's clear that deflecting and attacking are his go-to strategies.

And let's not forget how Trump dominated the 2016 election cycle. He propelled himself to a stunning victory by relentlessly reshaping the narrative around himself. Rosie O'Donnell was a fat pig, Hillary Clinton was crooked, and everyone else was a loser. It was entertaining, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, but things have changed since then.

The Murky Waters

What used to be entertaining and funny now feels different. There's a lot of murky water under the Trump Bridge. He played a role in inciting
