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.
howard who? Like anyone cares.
No one ever accused Stern of being smart.
Seriously, who listens to him anymore?
His whole act was about pushing the FCC limits and normal broadcasting norms of the late 80s and early 90s. He’s washed that up 19 years ago, and looks like a has been wussey compared to today’s podcasts and social media videos, and dumbed down “humor”. The only ones who listen to him now are the remaining, scant elderly Jewish Marxists and low IQ taxi drivers in lower Manhattan.
Who is Howard Stern? Never heard of him.
When Kamala said her values haven’t changed, she was likely referring to her value of hate.
Howard Stern on drugs....
His 15 of fame is just about over.
Typical liberal hypocrisy.
He condemns Trump for saying he hates one person, and yet goes and blankets condemns and says he hates a whole group of people.
It doesn't get more deluded than that.
I never liked Stern from the moment I heard him on WWWW (”W4”) 106.7 FM in Detroit. I thought he sounded too much like Alan Alda!
He’s a poster boy for liberal scum
I hate you Howard because you’re an ignorant, obnoxious asshole, not because of who you vote for.
He’s a miserable idiot.
His last years his show sounded way different, he sounded like he was getting old. So much less energy.
I was surprised because he always bragged about how he planned on living 120 years.
The mental giant has spoken ... all fall down and cringe
Well, we hate him back.
Toadie speaks...(sounds like rivet, rivet, rivet to me)
Howard thinks he an intellectual but he talks and acts like a 5th grader.
I don’t even think about him unless he pops up on a thread here. Time to bring back this old classic quote from Casablanca.
Ugarte: You despise me, don’t you?
Rick: If I gave you any thought I probably would
Someone please tell Howie that his 15 minutes was up 10 years ago.
He used to be “hip” and “edgy.”
Now he’s just a sad, old, big-nosed bag of bones.
Liddy died in 2021... That usually kills a radio show too.
