In his latest column, Good Morning Britain star Piers Morgan, 55, urged Donald Trump, 73, to “shut the f**k up” as he slammed the latter for floating the idea of using disinfectants and sunlight to treat coronavirus patients.
Piers titled his column: “President Trump’s batsh*t crazy coronavirus ‘cure’ theories are not just shockingly senseless and stupid – they’re going to kill people.”
He said of Trump: “The most reckless and dangerous thing President Trump has done is use the most powerful podium on earth to air his batsh*t crazy theories about how to beat the virus.
“And last night he stooped to a shameful new low by suggesting people suffering from COVID-19 should be injected with toxic disinfectant.
“Yes, you read that right.”

In response to the theory as part of a lengthy speech, he said: “I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute.
“And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.
“So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”
After he was slammed for his comments, the President later said: “I was asking a very sarcastic question to the reporters in the room about disinfectant on the inside.
“But it does kill it, and it would kill it on the hands, and that would make things much better.
“That was done in the form of a sarcastic question to the reporters.”
Piers’ post prompted many of his followers to comment, including Gary Lineker, who appeared to mock the situation.
The football pundit wrote: “I know it’s probably too soon. I know you thought he was a friend. I know your heart is breaking. I know how hurt you feel now.
“I know hard this is for you, but I know you will get through it. I know you won’t want to hear this: but you know you’ll be a better man without him.”
