Piers Morgan's bombshell one-word reaction to Donald Trump's latest move
The Uncensored host certainly didn't hold back after the US President issued another worrying threat to Iran overnight.
Piers Morgan took a brutal swipe at Donald Trump after the politician sparked widespread criticism in his new threat to strike Iran. Over the Easter weekend, the US leader gave Iran a 48-hour deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which ends today (April 7). But Tehran has continued to prevent ships from crossing through the vital trading route, sparking economic chaos as oil prices soar.
On Tuesday morning, the President warned "a whole civilisation will die tonight" in a shock Truth Social post. He added: "I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.

"However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalised minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?" It didn't take long before the broadcaster took to X to call out the Apprentice star online.
The Uncensored host penned: "This is a brazen pre-admission of genocide against the Iranian people, which would obviously be a war crime. Madness." But he isn't the only star who has called out the Republican leader's explosive comments online.
Journalist Aaron Ruper added: "I feel sick to my stomach waiting around today to see what the atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom that our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way.
"It's really an indictment not just to the electorate but of our whole system of government. We're ruled by a mad king." His former ally, Marjorie Taylor Greene, said: "25th AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilisation. This is evil and madness."
It comes after a detailed timeline of Trump's comments began circulating online, highlighting a string of rapidly changing claims over March and early April. The timeline showed Trump repeatedly declaring victory before walking back or contradicting those claims.
Among the statements were: "We won the war", followed days later by: "We did win, but we haven't won completely yet." Morgan shared the concerning timeline, adding: "If this is '3-D Chess, I'm an Aardvark'." But the contradictions didn't stop there.
The timeline also suggested that within days, Trump was both demanding support from allies and rejecting it outright. Though clearly using satire, the X post read: “He said: 'Please help us,' before he insisted: “Actually, we don’t need any help at all.” He then added: “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.”
