1. Jerry Springer: My TV Show Is 'Stupid,' Trump Is 'Un-American,' and We Need Gun Control

He and Donald Trump met when Springer hosted the 2008 Miss Universe pageant, which Trump co-owned. Springer wouldn’t be drawn on whether he thinks the accusations of sexual impropriety against Trump have any validity, but he fiercely condemns the Trump presidency.

“I think, nothing against him personally, but he has no business being our president. He doesn’t represent American values. Three million more people voted for Hillary Clinton. Now the electoral college is in question if we find out what the Russians did to affect just a few votes.

“In any event, America is a multicultural society, and America was created with the idea that it didn’t matter who your parents were or where they were from, or if you believed or prayed to God. You could follow your dreams, that’s America. He wants to replace the Statue of Liberty with a wall. It’s the most un-American thing you can think of, and to have that in the White House just defeats everything we grew up believing about our country and every reason why we send our kids off to fight and die to protect this country.

“If you don’t believe in the idea of America, why the hell are you running for president? If I’m angry at Donald Trump, it’s because he ran for president in the first place not believing in our country.”
