Singer Phil Collins has criticized President Donald Trump's approach to leadership, describing it as transactional and "very scary." In a recent interview on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Collins stated that Trump "sees everything as a deal — won or lost," contrasting this with diplomacy, which he believes involves more than just winning or losing.
Collins, a 75-year-old English performer and former frontman for Genesis, also commented on Trump's demeanor, calling it "unattractive" and "nasty." He suggested that historical presidents, even those with whom one disagreed, commanded respect through their eloquence and elegance. "But when someone like Trump is as nasty as he is, you end up feeling dislike for him," Collins told Morgan.
