Donald Trump did not speak publicly about the bomb interview of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle with Oprah because he does not want to be “canceled”, claims his former assistant.
Former Trump senior adviser Jason Miller lifted the lid on his feelings about the Sussexes interview during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s podcast on Wednesday.
Miller said Trump told him he could “make little news” by sharing his reaction to the interview – but in the end he decided it wasn’t a good idea.
“When I was talking to the president this morning … he said, ‘Yes, [Meghan’s] It’s not good. I said that and now everyone sees it.
“But you know if you say something negative about Meghan Markle you’ll be canceled. Look at Piers [Morgan]”Miller remembers.”
Morgan left his anchorage at Good Morning Britain last week amid criticism of his controversial comments about the interview.
The polarizing host said she “didn’t believe a word” of what Meghan said about the experience of racism in the royal family and the feeling of suicide when she was pregnant with her son Archie.
Trump has spoken out against Meghan in the past, including when he called her “ugly” in 2019.

Trump has reportedly said he does not want to be “canceled,” like Piers Morgan (pictured), who left his anchorage at Good Morning Britain last week amid criticism over his strong comments about the interview with Meghan and Harry.
Morgan resigned from the GMB a day after leaving the set during a television series with his colleague Alex Beresford, who criticized him for “continuing to dump” the Duchess of Sussex.
There have been over 41,000 complaints received by Ofcom, the UK’s communications regulator, including one from Meghan herself following the clash.
It is said that the Duchess has expressed concern with ITV about the effect that Morgan’s comments may have on mental health in general and those trying to deal with their own problems.
But Morgan later reiterated his conviction for the interview the next day, when he told reporters outside his home in west London: who came out in that interview, so be it.
Shortly after announcing his resignation, he sent his thanks on Twitter to the GMB team, praising them for their “work and dedication” that led them to beat their main TV rival for breakfast.

Morgan had said he “didn’t believe a word” of what Meghan said about the experience of racism in the royal family and the feeling of suicide when she was pregnant with her son Archie.
Following his departure, at least three petitions seeking Morgan’s reinstatement on the GMB garnered more than 240,000 signatures.
Morgan ruled out returning to the show, but called the petitions a “pleasant surprise” in an Instagram statement on Saturday.
“I will not return, but I thank all those who signed these petitions. Normally, people start petitions to fire me or deport me, so this is a pleasant surprise, ‘he wrote.
“Those of you who know me quite well know that, despite my many flaws, I am always willing to maintain my position on the things that I think matter most.
“My fierce opposition to the war in Iraq led to my disappearance from the Daily Mirror. My honest opinions about the madness of American gun laws led to the end of my time on CNN.
“And now I’ve lost my job at Good Morning Britain because I chose not to apologize for not believing Meghan Markle’s claims in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.”
He added: “We have thus become the latest ‘victim’ of the culture of annulment that enters our country, every minute, every hour, every day. Although, of course, I consider myself no victim, not even canceled.
“However, I believe that defending freedom of expression and the right to express honest opinions is the most important issue in my career and the most important issue in British society.”
ITV sources said Morgan “will continue to make programs for the channel,” according to iNews.
It is likely to include his popular celebrity interview program, Life Stories, which has been running since 2009.
In a statement, Morgan thanked supporters and said he was “willing to support my position.”
Trump and the Sussex have a history of transactions.
The then president reviewed Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave the Royal Family in January 2020 and expressed his condolences to Queen Elizabeth II.
– I think it’s sad. Do. I think it’s sad. [The Queen’s] a great woman, “Trump told Fox News.
“He never made a mistake if you look. I mean, he had an impeccable time.
Asked by host Laura Ingraham if Harry should “go back to his family,” Trump said, “Well, I think, you know, I don’t want to go all in. But I find him, I just have such respect for the Queen. I don’t think that should happen to him.
Trump struck Meghan again last fall after she and Harry made an unprecedented decision to comment on the upcoming US election, which many interpret as a support for current President Joe Biden.
“I’m not a fan of her,” Trump said of Meghan.
“I’d say that – and she probably heard that – I wish Harry good luck because she’ll need him.”
Meghan and Harry broke the Royal Convention when they launched a video message digging under Trump’s thin veil.
In the video, which appeared in a Time 100 video for the publication of the list of the most influential people in 2020, Harry urged Americans to “reject hate speech,” while Meghan called it “the most important choice in life.” Our”.
“As we approach November, it’s vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity,” Harry said – in a line that many observers saw as a blow to Trump.
“When evil outweighs good, for many, whether we realize it or not, it erodes our ability to have compassion and our ability to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. Because when a person buys negativity online, the effects are felt exponentially. It is time to reflect not only, but to act, “he said.
Meghan, who was born in California, encouraged viewers to vote by telling them it was the most important election.
“We are six weeks away from the election and today is Voter Registration Day,” she said.
“Every four years we are told the same thing:” This is the most important choice in our lives.
– But this is it. When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. ‘
Meghan and Harry were accused of “crossing the line” in September, in a Time 100 video (above), where they told American voters to “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity” in “the most important choices in our lives ”
