It’s easy to forget President Donald Trump was once a celebrity before his time in office, but his longtime friend and fellow celeb Howard Stern reminded us in his unfiltered remarks about how the President truly feels about MAGA voters on his SiriusXM radio show this week. 

Stern and Trump have a relatively close relationship, as Trump attended the radio show host’s wedding back in 2008. Stern had some interesting words to share about Trump and his relationship with his voting base on Tuesday’s episode of The Stern Show.

Stern said on the show, “The oddity in all of this is the people Trump despises most, love him the most,” He continued, “The people who are voting for Trump, for the most part … He wouldn’t even let them in a f*cking hotel. He’d be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there’s any people who look like you. I’m talking to you in the audience.”

Stern, who did not believe Trump was actually going to run for President, says Trump prefers to be around the rich and famous, people like himself. 

The show’s host additionally said that Trump should just step down now, declaring it would be “extremely patriotic.”

Stern prefers to maintain a political distance from his friend, even endorsing opposing candidate Hillary Clinton back in 2016.
