Trump reveals his bizarre theory on why Howard Stern could be cancelled

President Donald Trump gave his take on why longtime radio show host Howard Stern may be facing cancellation. 

The Sun reported Wednesday that Stern’s SiriusXM show will end after the shock jock’s current contract is up. 

The Daily Mail previously reported that Stern had been in ‘very serious negotiations’ with SiriusXM about whether he would be able to extend his $500 million contract, which ends at the end of the year.

‘Howard Stern is a name I haven’t heard – I used to do his show, we used to have fun – but I haven’t heard that name in a long time,’ Trump told reporters Wednesday in the Oval Office. ‘What happened he got terminated?’ the president asked. 

Stern has not yet been terminated, but that didn’t stop Trump.

‘You know when he went down? You know when he went down?’ Trump then said. ‘When he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience. People said, get me a break. He went down when he endorsed Hillary Clinton.’ 

Clinton was Trump’s 2016 opponent. 

Stern also had Trump’s 2024 rival, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, on his show last year.

Trump also continued to chime in on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s cancellation. 

Colbert and the Late Show will both end in May. 

‘Colbert has no talent,’ Trump said in the Oval on Wednesday.

‘I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside to the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They get higher ratings than he did. He’s got no talent,’ the president continued. 

‘Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They’re next,’ Trump added, name-dropping the other late night hosts. ‘They’re going to be going, I hear they’re going to be going.’ 

This week Trump did decide that he liked one prominent figure in pop culture – actress Sydney Sweeney.

On Sunday, the Daily Mail asked Trump for reaction after Sweeney was outed as a registered Republican. 

Trump loved it.

‘She’s a registered Republican?’ the president said with interest on the tarmac of the Lehigh Valley International Airport outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Trump was heading back to Washington after spending the weekend at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort.

‘You’d be surprised at how many people are Republican. That’s one I wouldn’t have known, but I’m glad you told me that,’ he continued.

‘If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.’

Since then, he posted on Truth Social sharing his support for the actress – and the White House’s social media account created a meme of Trump, shouting out from the West Wing’s rooftop, which he visited Wednesday.

‘Have you seen the Sydney Sweeney ad?’ the post said.
