Piers Morgan claims Trump 'spoke about all sorts of things for several minutes' with hoax caller impersonating him - and wonders WHY the Air Force One conversation has never been leaked

DailyMail.com Editor-at-large Piers Morgan revealed on Friday that Donald Trump told him he spoke with a prankster impersonating him for 'several minutes' in October about 'all sorts of things', days before the election. 

The conversation has never been leaked and the caller's identity remains a mystery. 

Trump only revealed it to Morgan during an October 24 phone call after phoning him to discuss what advice he had for him about his election campaign. 

He was entirely 'unconcerned' and 'thought the whole thing was hilarious,' Morgan said on Friday.   

On October 23, Morgan had stared down the camera during an appearance on Fox and Friends and told Trump in a direct appeal that he could still help him win with some key pieces of advice. The President called the next day.  

'I was sitting at home and the phone goes, it was the White House switchboard. I was pretty surprised because I hadn't spoken to Trump since April, he had unfollowed me on Twitter after I wrote a column for you guys telling him to "Shut the f** up." 

'When he came on the phone, he was very upbeat, he was convinced he was going to win,' Morgan recalled.   

'I asked him why he'd called and he said, "well I saw you on Fox and Friends." Then he said, "it's bizarre, I thought I'd already spoken to you." 

'Someone had rung him on Air Force One, pretending to be me, and they got through to have a conversation of several minutes. He started laughing and said, "can you believe it? How crazy!"

'Unlike most world leaders might react, he thought the whole thing was hilarious,' Morgan said. 

Trump did not offer up specifics of what he discussed with the hoax caller, but said they spoke about 'all sorts of things' and that the call lasted 'several minutes'.  

The hoax caller has never come forward and no recording of their conversation has been made public either. 

After laughing over the caller, Trump then asked what advice it was that Morgan wanted to give him.

They spoke for 30 minutes about the pandemic, how Trump had handled it poorly and how he could save his chances at re-election if he displayed some form of empathy in the remaining days of the campaign. 

Trump was receptive to the advice on the phone but ignored it in the coming days, Morgan says.  

'We had a good conversation. I was pretty frank about his handling of the pandemic... I said you've not shown empathy and it's not too late. 

'If you can double down it'll go a long way. He didn't, he ignored me. I'm not sure Trump has an empathy valve...' 

The call ended when Trump remembered he had to go and vote for himself. 

Moments later, he appeared in Palm Beach County Public Library to cast his ballot.  

The pair have not spoken since and the identity of the prankster remains a mystery.

Morgan first mentioned the call in a Mail on Sunday column on November 7.   

'I thought I better reveal it quickly in case it came out but nothing's happened. It definitely wasn't me who called him!' Morgan said on Friday. 

He does not expect another phone call from the former President in the future. 

'Given the columns I've been pumping out, I'd be surprised if we did speak again but the phone could always go at any moment.

'We go back a long way and have always had a good relationship but I found his antics since the election so egregious it'll take a lot to make me pursue a friendship.

'Never say never,' Morgan said. 

The prankster who called Prince Harry pretending to be teenage environmentalist Greta Thunberg got him to talk about politics, Trump, charity work and leaving the Royal Family.

Harry fumed on the call: ''The mere fact that Donald Trump is pushing the coal industry is so big in America, he has blood on his hands. 

'But Trump will want to meet you to make him look better but he won't want to have a discussion about climate change with you because you will outsmart him.' 

Harry was pranked by Russians Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov. They also tricked Bernie Sanders into thinking he was speaking to Greta.
