Trump's interview with Piers Morgan: 'It's like watching the ramblings of a drunk uncle at a BBQ'

Britons react with appalled amazement to Donald Trump after his full interview with Piers Morgan is broadcast

TV viewers in Britain reacted in appalled shock at the ramblings of Donald Trump after the would-be US President gave an interview to Piers Morgan.

The full broadcast of the showdown between the two aired in full on Friday on ITV, having been shown in segments on Good Morning Britain earlier this week.

During the interview, the front runner for the Republican candidacy gave his thoughts on a range of topics, from the latest terror attack in Belgium, to gun violence in the US.

However viewers took to Twitter in their droves to ridicule Trump for the 'cringe' encounter, in which they accused him of not answering questions and continually repeating himself.

The entrepreneur received the bulk of Briton's taunts after he was asked if he wanted to send a message to the people of the UK, choosing to 'ramble on' about the golf course he built in Scotland.

Twitter user Kevin Meagher wrote: ' "Paris has some of the strictest gun laws in the world and so does France." Does Donald think they're two different countries?'

Meanwhile, user ImaginaryCard tweeted: 'Fav part: Piers told him to send a message to the people of the UK and he rambled on about his golf course in Scotland #MorganTrump'

Jeremy Singer ?tweeted: 'That was bad! An hour of self promotion, weak answers & assertions by a man who could be president!'

While user ?@LordTobyJugs said: 'If Lord Sutch, founder of the Monster Raving Loony Party, were alive he'd look at Trump and file suit for breach of patent.'

Winning 'Celebrity Apprentice' raised his stock in the eyes of Trump Yahoos, but the ass is still perceived as a tabloid hack in Great Britain.

Seems to me somebody with that description made it to the White House for a couple of terms in the recent past.
