[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jaehee] Famous American broadcaster Howard Stern (66) is drawing attention by claiming that Donald Trump’s presidential campaign slogan should be changed to "Make America as great maybe South Korea."

Stern’s remarks came as criticism of President Trump’s handling of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

According to The Hill, a U.S. congressional news outlet, on the 24th (local time), Stern, who hosts the internet radio SiriusXM program named after himself, praised South Korea’s COVID-19 response during the broadcast and made the statement.

President Trump used the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" during the 2016 presidential election. Ahead of his re-election this year, Trump set the slogan as "Keep America Great."

On the broadcast, Stern said, "South Korea has masks, and they have grasped everything," adding, "It's crazy."

The Hill reported that Stern’s remarks came as South Korea is widely praised for its aggressive response to COVID-19, while the U.S. has struggled with an inadequate initial response.

Stern continued, "I know Donald Trump, and he’s an expert at rating women from 1 to 10," criticizing, "But he has no interest in guiding the public during the COVID-19 pandemic."

He also pointed out, "He (Trump) likes appearing on newspaper and magazine covers or attracting attention on TV," adding, "He has no interest in understanding the system or studying how to fix the country."

The Hill reported that before his inauguration, Trump, a real estate developer in New York, often appeared on Stern’s program. It is known that during the 2016 presidential election, Trump requested Stern’s support rally but was rejected.

Meanwhile, Robin Quivers, who co-hosts the 'Howard Stern Show' with Stern, also criticized President Trump’s daily COVID-19 briefings, saying, "It’s calculated to make it look like Donald Trump is doing something," and "Donald Trump is doing nothing!"
