Former President Donald Trump thought Meghan Markle was not “good” after her interview with Oprah Winfrey – but did not want to say so publicly, for fear of being “canceled,” like Piers Morgan. former counselor.
Former Trump adviser Jason Miller shared what he said the former commander-in-chief thought about everything about Markle and Prince Harry during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast on Wednesday.
“It’s not good … I said it and now everyone sees it,” Miller said, Trump told him.
The former president told Miller that he could “make a little news” on the podcast, sharing his reaction to the meeting – noting that it may not be the best idea.
“You realize that if you say something negative about Meghan Markle, you’ll be canceled, look at Piers (Morgan),” Trump said, according to Miller.
Trump also reportedly said “I’m on the Piers team” after former “Good Morning Britain” host left the show on Tuesday, following an air confrontation with a co-star who criticized him for “throwing” the Duchess of Sussex.
Morgan – who had accused Markle of exaggerating allegations of suicidal thoughts and racism in the royal family – said he lost his job because he refused to apologize for his comments.
The British regulator Ofcom said it had received more than 41,000 complaints about Morgan’s comments, including from Markle himself.
“Piers Morgan is the best, he’s the greatest, and they went and tried to cancel him out simply because he criticized Meghan Markle,” Miller told Trump.

Trump later clarified that he meant the comments were ugly.
