The CIRCUS continues

Donald Trump is not ruling out Howard Stern for a Supreme Court appointment

On Tuesday’s The Howard Stern Show, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump gave a friendly call to the Sirius/XM show after hearing of Howard Stern’s prediction on Monday that the billionaire will likely be the 2016 Republican nominee.

What was discussed? Trump boasted about his numbers in the latest polls. The candidate talked smack about China’s causing this week’s market crash (in just about as decent an explainer as our own). And he had no thoughts on a running mate until after the primary. “I like to do one thing at a time,” the candidate said. “I wanna win, and then I’ll worry about it.”

Oh, and one other thing: When Stern and Stern Show news anchor Robin Quivers asked if Trump would considering appointing Stern on the Supreme Court bench — the shock jock has served four years as a judge on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, after all — the candidate pivoted:

Stern: What about me being a Supreme Court justice? Any thoughts? I mean, would that be a joke? I mean, I am a judge on TV.

Trump: First of all, who knows Howard better than me? People don’t know the real Howard … Howard is a much different person than people understand. He’s the warmest, nicest guy. When you’re with him in person, you go “What a nice guy.” And then you hear him on the radio and you go “He’s a total maniac.” But Howard’s the best guy in the world. He’s a great guy.

Quivers: So is there a possibility of an appointment?

Trump: Well, I’ll tell you what, in terms of brainpower, he’s right at the top.

I know you think I’m a jerk-off for even bothering here. But, hey, why didn’t Trump tell him the truth? Why didn’t Trump say that The Iron Sheik had a better chance of replacing Rosie Perez on The View than Stern does parking his tuchis on 1 First Street for the rest of his life? As explained by Rachel Maddow on The Tonight Show, Trump knows the art of the deal. A noncommittal move for even the most absurd proposal is part of the playbook. A better example? He wouldn’t even turn down Ali G.’s proposition to partner up in the ice cream glove business! A shrew industrialist indeed
