Singer Pat Boone, a 92-year-old former teen idol and conservative performer, recently urged his longtime friend Donald Trump to "be quiet" and adopt a more presidential demeanor, according to a social media video he posted on Instagram and Facebook. In the video, Boone addressed Trump directly, suggesting that the former president avoid press conferences and instead adopt a more polite and humorous style similar to that of former President Ronald Reagan. Boone believed this approach could result in more public support and better media coverage. Boone, who has publicly spoken about his friendship with Trump over the years, referenced his past support for the former president during the 2016 election. At the time, he had advised Trump to stop "calling names" and act more like a president. Boone met Trump at a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida estate that was once Trump's private club, while Trump was hosting the TV show The Apprentice. The two have maintained a friendship, with Boone occasionally speaking publicly about their conversations. In his recent message, Boone said he felt Trump was "very tired" and was expressing himself in ways that were not "presidential." He encouraged Trump to stop making public claims about his achievements and to avoid attacking others, particularly women. Boone criticized Trump for his past behavior toward female journalists, including calling one "quiet, piggy." He urged Trump to be polite to women and to stop using harsh language. Boone also suggested that the press refrain from covering Trump for a few days, advising him to skip press conferences and let the "deafening roar of silence" convince him to adopt a more respectful and humorous style. He ended his message by emphasizing that he was speaking as a friend, urging Trump to "be quiet" for a while. His comments came as Trump continued to clash with news organizations, recently banning CNN, MS-NBC, and Politico from the White House. The situation unfolded during a week of heightened attention on Trump's relationship with the media and a dispute involving the Kennedy Center, a performing arts institution in Washington, D.C. The White House has not yet commented on Boone's remarks.
