Trump slams Howard Stern: 'He went woke'
Former President Trump is blasting Howard Stern, saying the SiriusXM host has "changed" and is now "woke."
"I was on Howard Stern's show as much as anybody," Trump said during a Wednesday night appearance on Fox News's "Gutfeld!"
"He was great at that time," Trump recalled of his frequent interviews on the shock jock's long-running radio program.
"And then he went woke," Trump said.
"And since he's gone woke, his ratings have gone down the tubes. And he sort of went anti-Trump for a couple of reasons," the 45th president said. SiriusXM does not release ratings for its programming.
Stern — who in the past described Trump as a friend, but grew increasingly critical of the former "Celebrity Apprentice" host during his presidency — said last year that he embraced the term "woke."
“I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m ‘woke,’” he told his "Howard Stern Show" listeners.
“To me, the opposite of woke is being asleep,” Stern said at the time.
“And if woke means I can’t get behind [Trump], which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender, or I’m for the vaccine — dude, call me woke as you f‑‑‑ing want,” Stern, 70, said.
During his appearance on "Gutfeld!" Trump recalled appearing as a guest on Stern's show "a lot."
"Did you ever see the 'Best of Howard Stern?' I don't want to promote it, necessarily, but I was there for just about all of them," Trump told host Greg Gutfeld.
"We had good shows. It was good."
