Singer Pat Boone calls on his ‘very tired’ friend Donald Trump to ‘be quiet’ - and stop being rude to women
The Independent • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Pat Boone, the 92-year-old singer and longtime Trump supporter, publicly urged President Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric and be more presidential in a social media video.
- Boone recalled advising Trump during the 2016 campaign to stop name-calling and act more like a president, advice he said Trump largely ignored at the time.
- Boone suggested Trump remain quiet for a while, avoid bragging about his accomplishments, be polite to women, and allow people to discover his achievements on their own.
- He also recommended that the press refrain from covering Trump temporarily to create a "deafening roar of silence," which might encourage Trump to adopt a more respectful and humorous approach like Ronald Reagan.
- Boone's message comes amid Trump's ongoing conflicts with the media, including barring CNN, MSNBC, and Politico reporters from the White House for allegedly reporting "fake news."
