Injury, surgery, recovery plan

According to the social media post, Morgan tripped on a small step at a restaurant in London that resulted in a fractured femur. The injury led to an emergency hip replacement surgery.
“New year off to a cracking start!” Morgan wrote in the post, adding that he was “recovering in hospital.” He also added that he would be on “crutches for six weeks” with “no long-haul travel for about 12 weeks” as part of his recovery plan.

Morgan's joke blaming Trump
In the post, Morgan humorously blames President Donald Trump for his fall.
Trump and Morgan have maintained a somewhat stable relationship. However, in Trump's recent presidency, Morgan has not stepped back from calling Trump out on the tariffs he imposed on nations that trade with Iran.
In an X post just before his recovery update post, Piers wrote, “Britain should repurchase America. After all, it was ours once, and it would enhance our North Atlantic security. If you don’t sell it to us, President Trump, we’re going to impose tariffs on the U.S. and any country who supports you in resisting this very good deal. Fair?”
