Howard Stern said former President Donald Trump “got charged up” by seeing him “discussed on all his conservative media” after the shock jock declared last week that he was proud to be “woke.”
“My thought was — What?” Stern said on his SiriusXM show Monday in response to Trump’s social media post denouncing his former friend as a “broken weirdo.”
“Imagine you bought to be the forty fifth president of the USA and also you’re sitting and writing about Howard Stern,” the radio host said Monday.
Stern’s comments were reported by the news site Mediaite.
“You recognize, abruptly Trump saw me being discussed on all his conservative media things and he got charged up,” based on Stern, who took issue with Trump calling him “disloyal.”
“And I’m disloyal? I stole the thrill for a minute or two,” Stern said.
Trump posted a comment on his Truth Social platform wherein he ripped the self-described “King of All Media.”

“The actual Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience,” Trump — a former and frequent guest on Stern’s raucous radio show — wrote on Truth Social.
“I did his show persistently in the great old days, after which he went woke, and no one cares about him any longer,” he continued.
The shock jock’s “influence is gone, and without that, he’s got NOTHING,” Trump vented concerning the reed-thin funnyman.
“Only a broken weirdo, unattractive each inside and outside, trying like hell to be relevant!” he continued.

Trump reacted to a monologue by Stern wherein the radio host responded to a critic on YouTube who lamented his leftward shift.
“I’m woke, motherf–ker, and I find it irresistible!” Stern said last week.
“By the best way, I form of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke,” Stern said Monday.
“If woke means I can’t get behind Trump, which is what I feel it means, or that I support individuals who need to be transgender or I’m for the vaccine, dude, call me woke as you f–king want.”
The radio host publicly cut ties with one other former friend, Bill Maher, this week after the comedian took aim at Stern’s second marriage to Beth Ostrosky.

In May 2020, Stern said he “hates” those that voted for the previous real estate developer.
In April, Stern sided with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney after her endorsement cope with Bud Light prompted right-leaning celebrities reminiscent of Kid Rock and Travis Tritt to declare a boycott of the Anheuser-Busch brand.
Stern’s newfound wokeness comes after years of getting laughs with offensive remarks, including fat-shaming “Precious” star Gabourey Sidibe in 2010.
“There’s essentially the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen,” he said on his Sirius show, based on the Each day Telegraph. “She is big. Everyone’s pretending she’s an element of show business and he or she’s never going to be in one other movie.”
