Howard Stern on Trump, and others

*“*Donald Trump should consider going to therapy for his mental health, according to his friend Howard Stern.”

"“I don’t think he likes being president at all,” said the SiriusXM star, who called Trump’s candidacy for president a “publicity stunt.”
“I think he liked winning the presidency. He likes to win,” Stern explained, adding, “I’m not Donald Trump’s psychotherapist.”

I was wondering when he of “Butt Bongo Fiesta” and “Lesbian Dating Game” would be contacted for his opinion.

Any idea what “Gary the Retard”, “Angry Black”, or “Hank the Drunken Dwarf” think about Trump?

Never mind, I’ll choose to remember Stern this way:

"On April 21, 1999, the day after the Columbine High School shooting, Stern mused about the “really good-looking girls” who ran for their lives away from the gunmen. “There were some really good-looking girls running with their hands over their heads,” he said. “Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls? They didn’t even do that? At least if you’re going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn’t you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I’d take them out with sex.”

Silly me. He’s out selling a book and since he matches the narrative, people latch on.

In the words of Stern’s dad, “Don’t be stupid, you moron.”

Howard and his show are very different 20 years later. You know… kind of like Trump being a liberal Democrat 20 years ago. I guess people change.

How’s that fit the narrative of your post?

Good thing trump never says anything fucked up, or dj would look pretty silly with that post!

**How’s that fit the narrative of your post? **

That’s adorable, you think he has a reason behind his posts.

The play is simple, defend Trump at all costs with every single post on every single thread. If Trump says something indefensible (okay, let’s pretend it’s indefensible) then the play is to attack, attack, attack. Dig up dirt, distance yourself from him/her and attack and don’t stop until the sheep fall in line.

You must be new around here.

That may be true, but DJ’s not wrong. Why do we give a flying fuck what Fartman has to say about Pres Trump?

ok, here is the link to the article. Read it to the end. HS knows Trump better than you and me. He doesn’t hate him but has his view on Trump as the president. I actually sensed a little compassion toward trump. Listen to it (again).

Sounds to me like Stern is fit to be the President of the USA.

Well if any of you are truly Stern fans, you would know that he talks very well of Trump, in other words, he is a ball washer like many of you here!! If you listened, you would know he defends Trumps statements back in the day as comedy, he was playing a role for entertainment. He really has given him the benefit of the doubt, even though it appears the old entertainment Trump, seems a lot like the president Trump.

But I think Howard nailed it early on, he liked the idea of being president and running(pretty much knowing he would never win), but the unbelievable happened, and now he is trapped. How could he give up the life he was leading, and now be beholding to just about everyone around him. Howard often quips that he has been to Maro Lago, and would never leave that place once there, Trump had the perfect life…

Howard does the best, most instructive, and thought provoking interviews in the world now, no contest. Sorry Oprah, Gail, and whoever is in that business. If you want to get to know someone, listen to one of his hour and a half, no commercial interviews with his guests, pure radio gold…

He does not act like someone who is trapped, though. He unnecessarily manufactures drama just about every day.

Also he has a way out. He could do four years, claim he fixed everything, and gracefully bow out so that the next person can take over. He shows no sign of doing so.

Cue the They Might be Giants song.

In four short years he met his every goal
He seized the whole southwest from Mexico
Made sure the tarriffs fell
And made the English sell the Oregon territory
He built an independent treasury
Having done all this he sought no second term

Just change the words a little.

In four short years he met his every goal
He walled off the whole southwest from Mexico
Made sure his own tarriffs fell
And made the English leave the EU
He built a political Fed.
Having done all this he sought no second term

As usual, I offer no defense of Trump but you are just too much a Ball-o-phobe to see that.

The point of the post is how obsessed you are that you will latch on to anyone who says a bad thing about Trump.

I have been a Stern listener since 1986. I have two books and have seen Private Parts more times than I can count. I own SiriusXM stock solely because of him.

Nonetheless, his opinions don’t belong in politics.

Nonetheless, his opinions don’t belong in politics.

His gave his opinions ON politics, he opinions aren’t IN politics.

His are just as valid as yours, mine etc. I don’t get this obsession with telling famous entertainers they shouldn’t opine on politics especially when it is said by the people who won’t shut up about their own political views.

I actually just finished watching the full interview on CNN. Very reveling. I remember him pre satellite days and he is quite different now. He described himself as being a “selfish jerk” in the past and said he voted for republicans all is life. But there was “a civility between democrats and republicans before”. When asked he said he does not blame Trump for that. Kind of a mild ball washer…

I think more accurate is to say, his opinions are about* the people in politics and not on politics itself.* At least from the interview and his book (which I didn’t read).
And again he knows Trump pretty well and when asked he said he doesn’t think Trump changed at all. He also reviled that Trump personally called him during the primaries and wanted him to endorse him and speak at the Republicans convention in 2016. He said he firmly believe that Trump would have given him a post in the government , would he accepted the invitation. Sounds crazy, but than again, Stern knows Trump pretty well, and we have some perspective by now on the way Trump operates.

I would add that this aversion to entertainers meddling in politics apparently doesn’t extend to the likes of another radio talk show host (Sean Hannity) who went from giving opinions on politics to reportedly directly advising the President, and therefore becoming a direct political actor.

It sounds like Stern may have had the same opportunity, but chose to stay in his swim lane (to borrow horrendous middle-management lingo)

Two entirely different cases. I don’t have a problem with Stern having a political opinion or talking about politics. I just don’t really give a shit what he has to say.

Hannity is a political commentator. It’s his job to talk politics. I also don’t give a shit what he has to say.

Commenting on what Stern says about the President in an interview isn’t really comparable to having an opinion about a news media figure acting as a de facto advisor to the President.

I have no idea what point you’re making, though you seem to agree with me as far as I can tell. :slight_smile:

Sure they are. But, Stern specifically is a noted scumbag whose opinion on everything else would be dismissed as that of a “notorious shock jock”. My point is we have to be genuine in sourcing information. A life-long tantalizer who is out on a book tour is not who we should use for our educational sound bites, regardless of the side of the aisle they are on.

Alternatively, if Stern is going to be the voice of record, let’s hear and celebrate his other positions.

I assume you agree with his 2A position and we’ll soon be hearing interviewers press him and celebrate that one?

I’ll give you a hint: He thinks people should be able to own “300” guns because the person buying the guns and ammo is assumed to be a law-abiding citizen.

Well, folks, there it is. Howard Stern on guns. That was easy.

I actually just finished watching the full interview on CNN. Very reveling. I remember him pre satellite days and he is quite different now. He described himself as being a “selfish jerk” in the past and said he voted for republicans all is life. But there was “a civility between democrats and republicans before”.

You know who else has apologized for being selfish and over-the-top in the past? Glenn Beck.

Shall we hear what he has to say now, or nah?

As I mentioned in a post above, Stern knows guns, too.
