Piers Morgan Deletes Post of Trump Wearing Kneepads to Meeting With Putin

 
Piers Morgan X Trump Kneepads

Piers Morgan mistakenly posted a picture of President Donald Trump wearing kneepads ahead of his Friday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

Morgan quickly deleted the photo, which shows Trump waving from Air Force One in large, red kneepads, and responded to a post questioning if he had posted it intentionally or if he was “just an idiot.”

“I didn’t see the kneepads on that pic,” he wrote on X. He went on to repost the same message of luck to Trump, but this time with a different photo attached.

“I wish him the very best of luck in trying to secure an end to the horrendous war in Ukraine,” wrote Morgan. “It’s refreshing to see a U.S. president who genuinely prefers peace to war.”

The meeting between Putin and Trump is scheduled to take place in Anchorage at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson military site at 3:30 pm EST and is expected to focus primarily on the war in Ukraine.

Hundreds of Alaskans have already gathered in protest, holding signs that read “Alaska Stands With Ukraine” — protesting not just Putin but Trump’s decision to host him in Alaska as well.

The meeting will be the first face-to-face between a U.S. president and Putin since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
