Overview

Piers Morgan Rimming Donald Trump Cartoon refers to an illustration of British talk show host Piers Morgan which his face buried in the bare butt of President Donald Trump that Morgan tweeted several times in outrage, claiming it was a double standard that the BBC could broadcast that image but would not do the same if it was of high-profile women. That Morgan repeatedly tweeted the image drew reactions online, as people found the event humorous.

Background

On February 2nd, 2018, British satirical news television show The Mash ran a segment about Morgan's interview with Trump prior to the President's State of the Union address. Commentator Rachel Parris showed the body language in a typical political interview with an illustration of a politician and journalist talking to each other face to face, then compared it to Morgan's interview with Trump with a picture of Morgan's face in Trump's butt.



Developments

The day the segment aired, Morgan tweeted the image three separate times[1][2][3] while decrying a double standard, saying high-profile women would not be portrayed in such a photo (shown below).


Piers Morgan @piersmorgan Follow The BBC thinks this is OK to broadcast. But if it depicted high profile women, there would be outrage. Why the double standard? 4:10 PM -2 Feb 2018 Piers Morgan @piersmorgan Follow So we can't have #gridgirls or #walkongirls because the imagery is 'demeaning' But the publicly-funded BBC can broadcast this about 2 men? Any comment, @Ofcom? Piers Morgan @piersmorgan Follow If the BBC broadcast an image like this after a female journalist interviewed @theresa_may all hell would break loose & people would be fired. Gender equality shouldn't just apply to pay - should it? 4:24 PM 2 Feb 2018
