Donald Trump appeared on The Howard Stern Show recently and unleashed his views about Beyoncé’s Super Bowl halftime performance.

The singer’s dance moves were too “suggestive” for the business mogul.

“When Beyoncé was thrusting her hips forward in a very suggestive manner, if someone else would have done that it would have been a national scandal,” Trump said.  ”I thought it was ridiculous … I thought it was not appropriate.”

While the self-proclaimed “best tweeter” was not pleased with Beyoncé’s performance, he did say that the singer “gets a pass.”
