Piers Morgan Slams Trump Over ‘Appallingly Tasteless’ AI Tiger Video: ‘Delete It’

Piers Morgan, the British political commentator, has harshly criticized President Trump's AI-generated video depicting the president wrestling a tiger named Altai. Morgan deemed the post "appallingly tasteless" on Wednesday, just days after the tragic death of 23-year-old William Chapman at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster, England.

Chapman entered the tiger enclosure at the wildlife park on Saturday and was killed by Altai, with the park officials announcing that Altai would not be euthanized. Authorities are still investigating how Chapman managed to enter the enclosure. Trump initially posted footage of the attack on his Truth Social account, writing, "Don't ever mess with nature!

President DJT." Morgan condemned the post hours after Trump shared an AI-generated video of himself fighting Altai, instead of Chapman. The video shows Trump tackling the tiger and hugging it while the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" plays. Morgan urged Trump to delete the post, stating, "Delete it, President @realDonaldTrump." Morgan is not the only one who has condemned Trump's post; other individuals, including broadcaster Kay Burley and the Republicans Against Trump account, have expressed their disapproval.

South Yorkshire Police have asked the public not to share or repost footage of the attack that killed Chapman, while his family has requested the videos not be shared online. Despite the backlash, Trump has kept the posts up on Truth Social.
