One of the top headlines on Good Morning Britain was Donald Trump’s return to the White House after he contracted coronavirus. Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid invited two guests onto the show to discuss whether or not the US President’s move was acceptable and how it could affect his chances in the upcoming election.
However, the debate quickly descended into chaos as all participants ended up speaking over one another.
Piers clashed with a Trump supporter as they argued over whether the President should have kept his mask on when entering the White House.
“If the President of the United States is Covid-positive, he should be self-isolating,” the presenter raged as the debate came to an end.
Ben hit back: “All I can say is I’m glad the President is alive unlike the Washington Post who are saying they hope he’s dead.”

“Nobody should hope he’s dead, I wish him a full recovery,” Piers shot back.
At the same time, Susanna stated: “Everybody is glad when someone recovers from Covid but everybody thinks you should act in a way as a role model not to spread the virus.”
However Piers continued to talk over both his co-host and guest as he continued: “I heard you yesterday on CMM I think it was saying every time you go out you put your mask on because you have respect for other people and yourself and your family when you go home.
“He does not have that respect.
Another added: “Let’s have a heated debate? That was not good television! sorry @piersmorgan #GMB.”
“#GMB another day another absolute car crash of an interview,” a third posted.
Someone else tweeted: “Embarrasing. Everyone shouting and talking over each other. Susanna can’t get a word in. She might as well not be there. Show is a mess. #GMB.”
“That was not a debate, it was a shouting match and an embarrassment to watch…@gmb #gmb,” a fifth tweeted.
Earlier in the show, Kate Garraway said she found Trump’s latest claims about coronavirus “heartbreaking”.
She remarked: “It’s extraordinary isn’t it, it is extraordinary. It’s heartbreaking actually.
“His attitude, you could argue, sanctioned the behaviour at that event whenever it was in September.
“Now nine people have been infected, 10 including him, would they have even traced many of the other people?”
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV at 6am.
