Donald Trump is Piers Morgan's first guest on his new talk show - and he stormed out of the interview.
Ever since Morgan departed Good Morning Britain, coming after an argument with weather presenter Alex Beresford, speculation has surrounded him on where and what he'll do next.
Echoing the complaints of those who believe they've been cancelled or muzzled by the mainstream media - despite using their massive platforms to voice those complaints - the controversial host is back with Piers Morgan Uncensored.
Check out a clip teasing Trump's interview with Morgan below:

Morgan has been teasing the launch of Uncensored for quite some time now, tweeting prior to the reveal: "It’s a sensational jaw-dropping interview that will make global news for days."
The teaser describes Trump as a 'former president in denial', showing footage of the two sitting together and Trump claiming: "I think I’m a very honest man, much more honest than you actually.”
The clip soon escalates, showing glimpses of the arguments between the pair. "It was a free and fair race. You lost," Morgan tells him, to which he says: "Only a fool would think that."
Towards the end of the clip, Trump can be heard saying: "Let's finish up the interview," before leaving.
According to Trump, Morgan has 'doctored' the interview to suggest he stormed out. In a statement, he said: "Piers Morgan, like the rest of the fake news media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview.
"He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour.
"The interview was very strong on the 2020 election fraud, with me calling him ‘a fool’ if he truly believed those results."
Writing for The Sun, Morgan claimed the 'incensed Trump tried to end things... before I reminded him that we hadn’t discussed his hole-in-one,' at which point he sat down again, before 'abruptly jumping to his feet, looking hateful, and barking at the shocked crew, 'TURN THE CAMERAS OFF!’
"Then he turned on his heels, and sloped angrily off through a side door, loudly muttering ‘SO dishonest…’ It wasn’t a rhetorical observation.
"Apparently, he was later heard denouncing me as ‘scumbag’ and saying he wished he’d never done the interview."
Piers Morgan Uncensored, billed as 'a fearless forum for lively, intelligent debate and agenda-setting interview', will launch on TalkTV on 25 April at 8:00pm.
