Howard Stern clarified on Monday that he does not hate Donald Trump. He just hates anyone who votes for Donald Trump.
"This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don't, you are bad … I've been the victim of this," said Stern when responding to Trump saying he "hates Taylor Swift" over the weekend on Truth Social.
"I don't hate Trump. I hate the people who vote for him. I think they are stupid. I do. I have no respect for them."
Stern added that if half of his viewers disagree with his opinion about Trump voters, they should stop listening to his radio show: "I'm at the end of my career, so fuck you and listen to another station if you don't like my views [on Trump]."
Stern is right that Trump's post about Taylor Swift made him look small. Trump is not running against Swift. He's running against Kamala Harris. And trying to start a feud with the most popular pop star in the country is hardly wise, on the surface.
That said, we ought to be amused by Stern's criticism of Trump for "hating" people who disagree with him and then Stern saying he "hates" anyone who disagrees with him about Trump.
TDS patients are often oblivious to their own hypocrisy. Stern is just one of the many examples.
Granted, Stern would prefer we refer to him as "woke." He explained last November:
"By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke. I’ll tell you how I feel about it. To me, the opposite of woke, is being asleep. And if woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine, dude, call me woke as you fucking want. I am a woke motherfucker, and I love it."
Howard Stern Trump
Later in the segment, a caller claimed Trump uses the same strategy of communication regarding immigrants as Adolf Hitler did with the Jews during the Holocaust. Stern said he "couldn't agree more."
"It is the same playbook. We have seen it before in history." Stern responded to comparisons between Trump and Hitler.
"Hitler was perceived as a clown in Germany [like Trump in the US]. He was one of these buffoonish characters. Then he won an election. And that was the end of Germany."
Got that?
If Trump wins, the end of America is near.
Speaking of "hateful," Howard Stern comparing Trump to Hitler the day after the second assassination attempt on Trump is just that. The wannabe assassin has pages of social media posts that spread similar anti-Trump propaganda.
The "Trump is Hitler" crowd incessantly warns that the former president is a threat to democracy. However, two assassination attempts later, it's abundantly clear they and their rhetoric are the actual threat to American democracy.
Anyway, if you vote for Trump, Howard Stern will "hate" you.
“ a pile of pig shit”
That’s a pretty nasty insult to pig shit.
Howard Stern can go eat a nice fresh pile of cow shit
Proof that they’re not after President Trump, they’re after us.
I didn’t know that aspect of the Dana Plato story.
Howard, we are so tired of hearing about your latest justifications for your hatred. It would be sad if we even cared. Guess what? Most of us don’t.
“How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...”
(Dang, has it really been three decades?)
“ I don’t get him. He’s a native New Yorker and has been around Trump his whole life.
He must be totally brainwashed...”
I was in college when he was new. Stern and Imus. I never got the appeal.
He’s awful. He’s nasty and he demeans his interviewees. People like this hate goodness.
Ooh. A celebrity hates me. Whatever shall I do?
G Gordon Liddy is Dead Mr. K.
This POS needs to put on his black face makeup and visit the nearest inner city ghetto alone, without his body guards.
Well said.
They got along fine when Trump was on Howard’s show.
Never liked Howard, never hated him. I just don’t like him and could care less what he says.
Howard sides with the criminals.
Noted.
Howard Stern is a filthy smut peddler, but yet he claims to be the victim. It’s so typical of golden calf worshipers. Yes, I know he is a flaming atheist, but a Bolshevik JINO none the same. /spit
I never liked Howard Stern to begin with.
I’ve been hated by better people than Howard Stern.
When you carefully reflect on people like Howard Stern, it is clear that there no longer exists a common consensus of decent values that truly unifies Americans. This is truly a nation divided.
He died............
Howard Stern has built his career on farts and boobs, and he is indeed both a fart and a boob.
