TV viewers in Britain reacted in appalled shock at the ramblings of Donald Trump after the would-be US President gave an interview to Piers Morgan.

The full broadcast of the showdown between the two aired in full on Friday on ITV, having been shown in segments on Good Morning Britain earlier this week.

During the interview, the frontrunner for the Republican candidacy gave his thoughts on a range of topics, from the latest terror attack in Belgium, to gun violence in the US.

However viewers took to Twitter in their droves to ridicule Trump for the 'cringe' encounter, in which they accused him of not answering questions and continually repeating himself.

The entrepreneur received the bulk of Briton's taunts after he was asked if he wanted to send a message to the people of the UK, choosing to 'ramble on' about the golf course he built in Scotland.

Twitter user Kevin Meagher wrote: ' "Paris has some of the strictest gun laws in the world and so does France." Does Donald think they're two different countries?'

Meanwhile, user ImaginaryCard tweeted: 'Fav part: Piers told him to send a message to the people of the UK and he rambled on about his golf course in Scotland #MorganTrump'

Jeremy Singer ‏tweeted: 'That was bad! An hour of self promotion, weak answers & assertions by a man who could be president!'

While user ‏@LordTobyJugs said: 'If Lord Sutch, founder of the Monster Raving Loony Party, were alive he'd look at Trump and file suit for breach of patent.'

Piers Morgan asked Trump about the recent attack in Brussels, to which Trump replied: ‘I knew Brussels years ago and I was there three or four times, it was so beautiful and secure and safe and now it’s an armed camp.

‘It’s a different world and place, there’s no assimilation. What’s going on there and in other countries is a disgrace.’

Other issues he covered during the primetime show were ISIS, which he said he would ‘hit so hard you wouldn’t believe’ and called for them to be taken out ‘harshly and fast’.

He also discussed gun laws and increased gun violence in the US, blaming it on mental health problems caused by the closing down on several institutions for cost reasons.

‘If you take Paris and there were a few guns on the other side of the room that had guns in their waste or ankle it wouldn’t have been the same,’ he said.

‘Number one, it might not have happened at all and number two, at least you’ve had bullets going the other way.

‘Here, there’s a tremendous mental health problem in the US and for cost reasons many of the cities are losing their mental hospitals and people are out on the street who shouldn’t be.

‘If you look at some of the violent killings they were perpetrated by mentally ill people who should have been institutionalized.’

Trump also discussed the attempt to ban him from entering the UK via a petition to the UK government, as well as to criticism he had attracted from London Mayor Boris Johnson.

Asked about Johnson, he said: ‘I know nothing about him. He looks a good character and a nice guy. I will tell you when I talked about the Muslim ban he was very strong against me.

‘He thinks they have no problems in London and I will tell you I was written letters and phone calls talking about London and how I was right.

‘When they spoke about banning me from the UK, people were incensed at me being banned for speaking the truth.
