Radio shock jock Howard Stern said he doesn’t hate former President Donald Trump but the people who are supporters of Trump and who vote for him.

During his Sirius XM “The Howard Stern Show” podcast on Monday, Stern talked about Trump’s post over the weekend in which he wrote “I hate Taylor Swift” in all caps. Trump’s post came on the heels of the pop star’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris immediately after the ABC Presidential Debate. 

“This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don’t, you are bad … I’ve been the victim of this,” Stern told his audience. “I don’t agree with Trump politically, I don’t think he should be anywhere near the White House.”

“I don’t hate the guy,” he added.” I hate the people who vote for him. I think they are stupid. I do. I have no respect for you.”

The radio host then made it clear he’s at the end of his career and said “so f*** you and listen to another station if you don’t like my views [on Trump],” Outkick noted.

Later in the show, Stern agreed with a caller who compared Trump to Hitler, which comes less than 24 hours after the FBI confirmed that there had been a second assassination attempt against the former president, the outlet noted.

​​”It is the same playbook,” the radio host said. “We have seen it before in history.” 

“Hitler was perceived as a clown in Germany. He was one of these buffoonish characters,” he added. “Somehow he won an election. And that was the end of Germany. He dragged them through hell and back.” 

“This does feel like a replay of pre-World War II,” Stern continued. “I am one of those people who believe that if the election goes the wrong way, it’s the end of the United States.”

Stern has made no secret of his political views in recent years, even going so far as to declare himself proudly “woke” during one of his shows last year when a fan noted that the man, who rose to fame with skits that some labeled sexist and racist, had changed, the New York Post reported.

“By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I’m woke,” Stern said. “I’ll tell you how I feel about it. To me, the opposite of woke, is being asleep.”

“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…I am a woke motherf***er, and I love it,” he added.
