PIERS MORGAN: "THIS IS APPALLINGLY TASTELESS. DELETE IT."

President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts sharing footage of the fatal Yorkshire Wildlife Park tiger attack and an AI-generated parody of himself in the enclosure drew a sharp public backlash. British broadcaster Piers Morgan wrote on X that the post was appallingly tasteless and told Trump to delete it.

Other online critics made the same point, noting Chapman had died two days earlier and that his family had just asked people to stop circulating the footage because it was causing extreme distress. The family said William Chapman had suffered significant mental illness and was on strong medication, and police also urged the public not to share distressing footage of the attack.
