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.
