Trump’s Old Clip Sparks Outrage: “Sexual Predator” Joke Backfires

A clip from a 2006 Howard Stern interview featuring Donald Trump has resurfaced, igniting renewed public outrage. The content has raised serious ethical and political questions

During the show, host Howard Stern and co-host Robin Quivers jokingly referred to Trump as a “sexual predator.” Rather than denying it, Trump appeared to agree by mouthing “That’s true”

Trump’s daughter Ivanka, seated beside him, witnessed the exchange. Her silent reaction has drawn attention and added discomfort to the already controversial moment

Fact-checkers, including Snopes, confirmed the clip’s authenticity, stressing that it was not AI-generated or deepfaked. This has silenced claims of digital manipulation

Trump has been accused by at least 26 women of sexual misconduct. In 2023, a civil court found him liable for sexual abuse in a high-profile case involving writer E. Jean Carroll

The clip's circulation comes as pressure mounts on Trump and other figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Activists are again demanding transparency and justice

Trump allies argue the comment was a sarcastic response to a joke and shouldn’t be taken seriously. But critics say it reflects a pattern of troubling behavior
