Stern maintained his support for Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton, throughout the election, and turned down an invitation from Trump to speak at the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Stern ramped up his criticism of Trump throughout his presidency, at one point claiming the latter was "disgusted" by his own supporters, and mocking him for speculating on the effectiveness of several possible treatments for the coronavirus, such as ingesting disinfectants, in the early days of the pandemic.
Despite Trump later claiming he was being sarcastic, Stern suggested his supporters should inject disinfectant to see if it worked.
