Former President Donald Trump criticized 'beta man' Howard Stern for throwing 'SOFTBALL questions' at Vice President Kamala Harris during their meeting in New York on Tuesday.
Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday to complain about the interview, part of a media blitz Harris took part in this week after being camera shy during the first few months of her campaign.
During Stern and Harris' back-and-forth, Stern recalled his own disagreement with the Republican nominee, which Trump referenced in his Truth Social post.
“BETA MALE Howard Stern made a fool of himself on his low-rated radio show when he 'interviewed' Lyin' Kamala Harris and hit her with so many SOFTBALL questions that even she was embarrassed,” Trump wrote.
The Republican candidate said Stern “looked like a real idiot working so hard to make a totally incompetent and ill-equipped person look as good as possible, which wasn’t very good.”

'I abandoned Howard a long time ago, like most of the others, and have since been credited with very good judgment!' Trump said, adding 'MAGA2024'.
In fact, Stern told Harris about his run-in with Trump during the interview, telling the vice president that he has known the former president and Republican nominee “for many years.”
“He was at my wedding,” Stern said. 'I always had fun with him – but not as president of the United States.'
“He can't reveal these crazy dogs and cats that eat – and now these poor people living in these communities are being threatened,” the longtime shock jock continued.
He was referring to Trump and running mate J.D. Vance's baseless claims that Haitian migrants in the Springfield, Ohio, community were “eating their pets,” as the former president put it on the debate stage last month. with Harris.
“You can’t have dinner with Nazis, you can’t do that,” Stern continued.

'How can anyone justify this? I don't understand. It’s crazy,” Stern posed for Harris at one point.
Stern said his break with Trump happened eight years ago.
The SiriusXM host was talking about Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris and Trump's subsequent announcement that he “hated” the pop star.
“He did this to me,” Stern said.
'When Donald asked me to introduce him at the Republican Convention. I said, “Donald, I can’t. I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton,” Stern recalled. 'He was very upset with me and said: no, no, no, no, no. And then he hated me.
'You know, so I was a bad guy. There were no more ratings. I wasn't funny. I was, you know, I got all the crap for it,” Stern said.
