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.
Concerning his comment on FU to half of his viewers: Do you see the self-centeredness of the left?! They will use you for their own benefit and then throw you away when they don’t need you. Ungrateful pr!ck.
Several decades ago I used to like Howard Stern - I listened to him on the way to work - thought he was an independent thinker.. boy was I wrong,
Stern shifted his focus to interviewing celebrities. And of course if you don’t toe the Hollywood Line, you won’t get those interviews.
Truth told, he hated us back when we refused to get herded in with the vax sheep.
It makes me feel really good to know that the world’s #1 azho hates me.
Maybe Howie is smoking stuff again.
I don’t hate him, I just don’t think about him ever. He’s yesterday’s news and not funny, just crass. I’m too old to find crass entertaining. He’s way overrated and overpaid for someone with mediocre talent.
Never listened to that moron
Stern is living proof of the adage that in the end, everyone becomes that, which they hate.
He spent the first half of his career complaining about Imus. Now he’s 10x worse than Imus EVER was.
Trash
Is there a list of his advertisers?
I thought ‘hate’ was a bad thing?
Typical lefty…
“He’s a native New Yorker and has been around Trump his whole life.”
He interviewed Donald and Melania once, together. It was r-rated.
He’s certainly not the same guy I listened to on the radio every morning when I was younger. The show was funny. Now, that schtick is old and immature. I grew up and Stern regressed as a person with a irrelevant show.
This country is chock full of stupid celebrities, and anyone who cares what they think is also stupid.
bababooey
Being hated by Howard Stern means you’re doing something right.
His ratings must be low again.
Howard, you are guilty of promoting violence. Surely those two murderers who tried to kill Trump were your fans.
