#895 - Piers Morgan - Trump, Elon Musk & The Future Of The West

I mean, the ultimate joke, really, that the guy who's called the most bigoted president in history chose the number one gay anthem in history to sing on stage. And he's got America dancing the Trump dance, right? I see him laughing a lot more in public now, relaxing, enjoying dinners, which are filmed and put out there. I see him doing a lot more interaction with people.

I think, yeah, that's the guy I remember from Apprentice, the boardroom, when he did the McDonald's stunt, when he did the garbage truck stunt. And I've seen this really accelerate since he got shot. I think he's a changed man since then. I don't think he's going to lose the pugilistic side or the trash-talking side or any of those things which are part of his DNA as a New York real estate guy.

But I do think he's got that empathy streak he's always hidden is now coming out more. And I think he's a happier and more relaxed guy this time because we haven't seen what we saw in 2016, which is the mass protests, the fury, the venom, the visceral hatred from the mainstream media, the Russia collusion thing. for years and so on.

You take away that side and you take away the thing that Trump talks about in his book, The Art of the Deal, where he says, if someone punches you in the face, you hit them back 10 times harder. And he means metaphorically as well as physically. And for the first four years of that presidency, he was punched all the time and he reacted by punching.

It became just basically a brawl between him and the media and his political opponents. This time around, there's not that same atmosphere. He doesn't have to be as harsh. He doesn't have to be as defensive. He's won. And he's had four years to think about what he did right and wrong the first time.

The last time he rang me this week, the week before Thanksgiving, the Wednesday of that week. And he said, Piers, it's Donald. He said, I was just watching you on TV and you were looking great. And I just thought I'm going to call you and tell you. Now, I suspect that isn't actually what he was thinking. He just wanted to have a chat. But it's classic Trump. Immediately, you're like, was I?

I was laughing. But we do have really good conversations. And he was telling me about all sorts of stuff, Ukraine and Russia and his cabinet and so on and so on. He knows I'm not going to repeat that kind of stuff. But there have been very warm conversations, very open conversations.
