Howard Stern ripped into President Donald Trump for bragging about the TV ratings of his news conferences during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump on Sunday fired off multiple tweets boasting that his coronavirus briefings are a ratings hit, with audience levels typically seen for a Bachelor season finale.

Stern wasnt having it.

Its not your incredible reality TV show that youre putting on for the country, he said, according to The Hill . Its because were in crisis and were tuning in to see what the president has to say. Were looking for leadership, motherfuckers!

The SiriusXM radio host also blasted Trumps constant praise for himself.

As far as Donalds concerned, Donald thinks hes the best president there ever was, he said. I can honestly tell you that Donald doesnt give one shit about public service.

The self-styled King of All Media has in the past said he was friends with Trump, a frequent guest on his show over the years. However, Stern endorsed and voted for Trumps Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton .

Stern said last year that he tried to get Clinton on his show in 2016, but she declined and that refusal, he believes, may have cost her the election.

There were a million questions I could have asked her that I think would have humanized her, he told Stephen Colbert .
