Piers Morgan has told Donald Trump ‘s son, Donald Trump Jr., to “pipe down” after he suggested the “deceptively edited interview promo” was the reason behind Uncensored’s fall in ratings.
It was reported yesterday that Piers’ ratings for his new TalkTV show Uncensored had dropped significantly after the first episode and almost halved again after the second.
Before the first episode aired earlier this week, the controversial broadcaster shared a 30-second teaser clip of his interview with Donald Trump.
Now, Donald Jr., 44, has taken to Twitter to express that the show’s fall in ratings could have been because of this.

The former presidents son shared an article by Breitbart News which was titled: “Piers Morgan viewership crashes 70 percent after Trump Aide crushes his mishandling of deceptively edited interview promo.”
The 44-year-old captioned the tweet: “Brutal!!!”
The former Good Morning Britain star was quick to fire back and told him to “pipe down” and to “tell your dad to take a chill pill.”
He said: “Do pipe down, Don. This pathetic over-reaction to a 30-second promo is getting very embarrassing. You guys did that kind of thing to me every night on Celeb Apprentice. Tell your Dad to take a chill pill & fire that useless twerp @TayFromCA – never met a worse comms director.”
After Piers released the 30-second teaser clip that suggested Donald Trump had stormed out, the 75-year-old politician accused him of branding “fake news.”

In a statement, he said: “Piers Morgan, like the rest of the fake news media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview.
“He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour.”
On Tuesday night’s episode (April 26) of Uncensored, the fiery broadcaster hit back and claimed “Trump clearly left very irritated” but said it was mostly down to “his incredibly incompetent Director of Communications.”
