Renowned radio personality Howard Stern offered his frank perspective on ex-President Donald Trump and his staunch supporters in a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show” on Sirius XM. This discussion took place in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s public declaration of dislike towards pop star Taylor Swift, stirred by her endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after the ABC Presidential Debate.

Stern addressed his audience saying, “This concept of if you like me, you’re good, and if you don’t, you’re bad… I’ve been at the receiving end of this”. He continued, “I differ with Trump politically; I believe he shouldn’t be anywhere near the White House.”

While emphasizing that he harbors no personal hatred towards Trump, Stern was unequivocally critical about those who voted for him. In expressing his disdain for such voters and their decision-making process, he stated bluntly: “I think they are misguided. And so my respect for these supporters is virtually non-existent.”

As Stern approaches the twilight of his career, he candidly proposed to listeners disagreeing with his assessment of Trump to consider tuning into another station.

An intriguing exchange later in his show saw him concurring with a listener who compared Trump’s mannerisms to those historically exhibited by Hitler. This agreement follows breaking news concerning second assassination attempt investigations against the previous president by the FBI.

Drawing parallels between past historical events and present-day realities, Stern highlighted how repeating patterns can lead to major shifts in political landscapes.”
“It feels like a rerun from pre-World War II,” observed Stern. “I belong to that group who believes that an unfavorable election outcome could spell disaster for America.”

In recent times, Stern has been very vocal about his political affiliations. When a fan pointed out changes in him as compared to when he first rose to fame – a phase characterized by controversy over skits deemed sexist or racist – Stern responded affirmatively proudly declaring himself as “woke”.

Elucidating his interpretation of being ‘woke’, Stern expressed, “I consider this term to be a compliment. Contrary to it, you’d be asleep.” He further clarified that if being woke implied a disapproval of Trump or support for the transgender community and COVID-19 vaccinations, he was happy to accept the label. “If that is being woke, label me as such – I am quite content in my wokeness,” he concluded.
