The best thing for the country and President Trump would be for him to bow out now and go back to his old life, Howard Stern said during his SiriusXM show on Tuesday.

"I do think it would be extremely patriotic of Donald to say, 'I'm in over my head and I don't want to be president anymore,'" Stern said. "It'd be so patriotic that I'd hug him and then I'd go back to Mar-a-Lago and have a meal with him and feel good about him because it would be such an easy thing to do."
