Howard Stern has said some shocking things in his time, but perhaps nothing quite so shocking as this: The radio host recently claimed that Donald Trump secretly wants Hillary Clinton to be president. Seriously. On Wednesday, the former America’s Got Talent judge argued that Trump ran in the election not because he wanted to be the leader of the free world but because he wanted “a couple more bucks out of NBC” in his contract for The Apprentice. “That is why Donald is calling for voter fraud investigations. He’s pissed he won. He still wants Hillary Clinton to win,” Stern added (jokingly?). “He’s so f***ing pissed, he’s hoping that he can find some voter fraud and hand it over to Hillary.”
While the idea that someone accidentally won the presidency when all he wanted was a fatter reality TV contract might sound like the script for a movie, Stern and Trump have been friendly for decades, which means the shock jock might have a more in-depth understanding of what motivates the new commander in chief than the rest of us. (ICYMI, Trump appeared on Stern’s show many times.) So, according to Stern, what is Trump’s main goal? It’s pretty simple: Trump “wants to be liked; he wants to be loved,” Stern said. “He wants people to cheer for him.”
