Piers Morgan

remembers his friend

and manager, who died

July 25 at 59 from

pancreatitis, and what

Trump said about him

W

hen I heard

John had died, I

cracked open a

bottle of wine, lit a cigar,

put on some music and sat

outside in my L.A. garden

rereading every one of the

10,000-plus emails we had

exchanged. They made

me laugh and cry in equal

measure. What a ride we

had together, full of highs

and lows but always full

of unconditional support

from a man I trusted with

my life. He once said in an

interview that he would

“take a bullet” for me, and

I believed him. The last

time I saw John was in

London in mid-June when

I interviewed President

Trump during his U.K. visit.

“John’s the guy who put me

on Celebrity Apprentice,”

I reminded Trump as I re-

introduced them down in

the bowels of the Churchill

War Rooms. “Then John

must be a very smart guy!”

the president said with

a smile. He was. He also

never missed an opportu-

nity. “Without a good agent

in this town,” John said,

“you’ll be swimming uphill

in a river full of piranhas.

Your job is to look pretty

and do your work well.

My job is to screw the

bastards.” And screw them

he duly did.
