Howard Stern continued his long-running feud with Donald Trump, with the self-proclaimed “King of All Media” saying he “hates” anyone who voted for the former president.
The two New Yorkers once got along famously, and Trump was an infamous, recurring guest on Stern’s long-running radio show, but Stern has distanced himself from Trump since entering politics.
On his SiriusXM show Monday, Stern, 70, reacted to Trump’s Truth Social post that he hates Taylor Swift.
“That whole idea that if you love me, you’re good and if you don’t, you’re bad… I’ve been a victim of that,” Stern said.
He then went on to slam MAGA supporters: “I don’t agree with Trump politically, I don’t think he should be anywhere near the White House. I don’t hate that guy. I hate the people who vote for him. I think they’re stupid. Really. I’ll be honest with you, I don’t respect you.”

Stern continued his ranting, admitting he didn’t mind losing “half his audience” for saying it and saying he expected to get “hate mail” from the Wack Pack faithful.
Then, bizarrely, he pivoted to the lack of anti-Trump rantings at last night’s Emmy Awards.
“You can’t be an idiot your whole fucking life,” he said of Hollywood liberals.
Later in the show, Stern compared Trump to Adolf Hitler and said it would be the end of America if he beats Kamala Harris in November.
One caller compared Trump’s rhetoric about immigrants to the way Hitler spoke about Jews before the Holocaust.
“I totally agree with you. It’s the same playbook. We’ve seen it before in history.”
The Private Parts star continued: ‘Hitler was considered a clown in Germany… He was one of those clown characters. Somehow, he won an election. And that was the end of Germany. He dragged them through hell and back.’
He concluded by saying it was a “repeat” of the pre-World War II era before making an even more hysterical prediction.
Stern continued his ranting, admitting he didn’t care if he lost “half my audience” for saying it and saying he expected to get “hate mail” from the Wack Pack faithful.
One interlocutor compared Trump’s rhetoric about immigrants to the way Hitler spoke about Jews before the Holocaust.
‘I’m one of those people who believes that if the election goes wrong, it’s the end of America.’
When he claimed his phone lines were being destroyed by Trump fans demanding to confront him, the owner of the 1992 straight-to-VHS film Butt Bongo Fiesta declared, “I’m smarter than you, I just am.”
This is not the first time that Stern, once America’s most popular radio host, has attacked his former friend.
In 2022, Stern criticized Trump supporters as “morons” and claimed the United States is a nation of “fools” in a scathing attack.
However, he said it is “something Republican.”
Stern said on his radio show that he is “fed up” with people believing former President Donald Trump’s “nonsense.”
“My God, I feel like I’m in a nation of fools. I hope there are still more bright, lively, and full of life people who love this country,” she said on Howard Stern’s show.
He went on to say that he believes Trump supporters are “idiots” whose freedom has never been “threatened.”
This is not the first time that Stern, once the most popular radio host in the United States, has attacked his former friend.
In 2020, Stern, a well-known germophobe who holed up in his home for two years during the pandemic, said Trump supporters should “take disinfectant and all die.”
The TV host made the comment while discussing Trump’s suggestion that injecting disinfectants could prove useful in treating the coronavirus.
Following Trump’s comments, doctors and disinfectant manufacturers were quick to warn that ingesting or injecting cleaning products could be deadly.
The president later claimed he was being “sarcastic” after being mocked for his comments.
Stern told co-host Robin Quivers: “I would love for Donald to go on television and inject himself with Clorox and see if his theory works.”
“He could organize a big demonstration, say ‘fuck this coronavirus’, with all his supporters, and let them hug and kiss each other and have a big demonstration,” he continued.
Then Quivers chimed in: “A big cocktail of disinfectant!”
“Yes, and everyone takes disinfectant and everyone dies,” Stern said then.

Stern admitted to wanting Hillary Clinton on the show before the 2016 election and believes she helped Donald Trump become president by frequently interviewing him, although she admits to having voted for Clinton.
In fact, Stern believes Clinton made a mistake by never appearing on his show.
“I wanted to see Hillary Clinton win,” Stern said. Good morning America.
“If she had come on the show, the way I helped Donald was to let him come on and be a personality,” she said.
‘Whether you liked it or not… people related to him as a human being.
“I wanted to do that for Hillary.”
The radio legend added: “Hillary Clinton is scared of me, and rightly so.”
“I thought maybe if she came on my show, we could have taken away some of the pomp and circumstance or tension that comes with running for president and, like Donald, she might have been seen in a different light.”
Stern praised Trump for being genuine and authentic when he went on air.
“Donald Trump, without a doubt, every time you put him on the air — now this was before he ran for president — he was an open book,” Stern said.
“He would say whatever he wanted. And, oddly enough, during the campaign and even now, people are quoting the interviews I did with him.”
In the end, Stern managed to get Clinton on the show and even interviewed President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race.
