'Just a broken weirdo': Trump flips out on 'disloyal' Howard Stern in overnight tirade

Late Friday night Donald Trump launched into a bitter tirade aimed at broadcaster Howard Stern where he accused him of being "disloyal."

Stern has recently been in the news over his own attacks on comedian Bill Maher for his war on the "woke" and that apparently set off the former president who is facing four criminal indictments and a handful of civil suits.

Taking to his Truth Social platform, Trump raged at Stern and called him a "broken weirdo."

POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?

In the middle of the night, Trump wrote: "The real Howard Stern is a weak, pathetic, and disloyal guy, who lost his friends and MUCH of his audience."

"Until just recently, I haven’t heard his name mentioned in years. I did his show many times in the good old days, and then he went Woke, and nobody cares about him any longer. I don’t know what they (really!) pay him, but it shouldn’t be much," he added. "His influence is gone, and without that, he’s got NOTHING - Just a broken weirdo, unattractive both inside and out, trying like hell to be relevant!"

Billionaire Rupert Murdoch buried for 'sneering at elites' in his retirement memo

Billionaire media tycoon Rupert Murdoch announced his retirement as chairman of Fox Corp. and News Corp. on Thursday in a memo to employees that proclaimed he is planning on turning over the reins of his empire to his son Lachlan while assuming the mostly honorary title of chair emeritus of both companies.

In his memo, he stated he would officially be stepping down in November – and then used the opportunity to complain about the "elites" he has had to deal with by writing: "Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class. Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.”
