Radio icon Howard Stern had some blunt advice for President Donald Trump over his reported plans to get into media after leaving the White House: Don’t do it. “[If] he thinks running the country is hard, wait ’til he has to run a news network,” Stern said Monday on his SiriusXM radio show, according to the NY Daily News. The self-anointed “King of All Media” also made a not-so-veiled reference to Trump’s shortcomings in the world of business, warning that any “Trump TV” effort would meet the same fate. “That’ll fail inside of a year, like all the other businesses,” Stern said. “This is just insanity what’s going on.” The radio host also told Trump he needs to concede and help President-elect Joe Biden with the transition. “For once do something good for the country, calm down your f***ing loony hillbilly friends, and tell them you lost the election and you’re going to help the transition,” he said, according to the Daily News. “These loonies who follow you are all worked up; they think something was taken from them.”
Stern was once friendly with Trump, prior to his presidential bid, and had him on as a guest frequently. Stern has since become a Trump critic, endorsing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden this year. Trump has not conceded despite losing the election, but several reports have indicated he is preparing to get involved in media ― perhaps with a “Trump TV” project ― after he leaves the White House. However, it’s not clear what form that supposed enterprise would take.

The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend that investors with ties to Trump had looked into acquiring conservative outlet Newsmax.
CEO Christopher Ruddy told Variety that would “never” happen but offered Trump a job as host of a weekly show.
Axios reported last week that Trump was considering an online-only media company with a subscription fee, which would be a direct rival to Fox News’ streaming service, Fox Nation.
So, we are “loony hillbillies”. Nice, but wouldn’t expect anything less from Howard Stern. Especially in face of the fact he has so much class!
It kills Stern that someone who once was a semi-regular guest on his show became the most powerful man in the world.
...calm down your f***ing loony hillbilly friends...
Hey, that's us! We made it on Howard Stern! We're famous! :)
Fake news
Yes, surely so. I’ve never been a fan of Stern whatsoever. He’s too crass for my taste, but he does show us the true face of how the left perceives conservatives doesn’t he!
If Stern comes out like this, he knows Trump could do damage.
Only posted this because of the lovely manner in which he chose to describe Trump supporters.
At this point I’ve no idea what is news and what is fake out there. Who can?
No conservative network would survive a reset
What would they talk about?
Meaning damage to him and the rest of the news networks.
Have never listened to him...from what I’ve heard he’s a part of the downfall of this country. Seems to be a circus clown.
“Have never listened to him.”
You’ve missed nothing whatsoever either ;>)
LIes. This overrated clown made fun of Trump back in 2015, that he’ll never be president, regardless of how many times he was a guest on his show. If he cou;dnt make a correct prediction then, he’ll make it now?
There’s a rumor Trump will buy Twitter in the end..
I’ve been called worse.
In the immortal words of Phil Collins, I Don’t Care Anymore.
“He’ll never be President.”
Howard Stern used to make a lot of racist remarks on his show and somehow never got called out on it. The fact that he would not allow his teenage children to listen to his trash rants online tells you something; he can pollute others but not his own backyard.
I always listen to what the HuffAndPuffPost says. I'm sure The Donald does also. /sarc
Stern is one of the biggest contributors to the sewer that is now America.
