PIERS MORGAN: The Queen may also think Bette Midler's a washed-up psycho, Mr. President, but if she does, she'd never tell us - if you want to be as popular as your royal hero, quit the ugly trash talk

PIERS MORGAN: The smartest thing the President could have done when Bette Midler came for him, unpatriotically and shamefully trying to embarrass her country's President as he commemorated D-Day, would have been to ignore it, and to rise above the goading.
Instead, he unleashed a torrent of vitriol at a fading, bitter old star who was doubtless hoping and praying he would do exactly that to keep her vaguely relevant.
Sometimes, as the Queen shows time and again, the most powerful weapon in a leader's armoury is silence and discretion.
So there will now always be an asterix attached to this highly successful trip that says: '*Half way through a very successful state visit, President went on Twitter and called Bette Midler a washed-up sick psycho.'
Ditch the silly trash-talk with your celebrity haters, Mr President - it demeans you and demeans the office of the presidency.
