Howard Stern: Trump wants to be loved, presidency will be 'detrimental' to his mental health
 

Howard Stern said on his program Wednesday that Trump will hate being president and the role will be detrimental to his mental health.
Stern and Trump are long-time friends, with Trump making numerous appearances on Stern's radio show over the years.
"I personally wish that he had never run, I told him that, because I actually think this is something that is gonna be detrimental to his mental health too, because, he wants to be liked, he wants to be loved," Stern said. "He wants people to cheer for him."
"I don't think it's going to be a healthy experience. And by the way, he's now on this anti-Hollywood kick. He loves Hollywood. First of all, he loves the press. He lives for it. He loves people in Hollywood. He only wants hobnob with them. All of this hatred and stuff directed towards him. It's not good for him. It's not good. There's a reason every president who leaves the office has grey hair."
Trump frequently appeared on Stern's radio program over the past two decades, engaging in the kind of crude talk about women and celebrities typical of the shock-jock's show. During the campaign, CNN's KFile surfaced demeaning comments Trump made about women on the show.
Stern said he considers Trump a friend, but is opposed to his politics.
"I like Donald very much personally. I was shocked when he decided to run for president, and even more shocked that sort of, people took it seriously," Stern said.
"I remember saying to him when he announced his presidency, I remember being quite amazed, because I remember him being for Hillary Clinton," Stern added.
"And I remember him being very--I mean he was pro-abortion. So the new Donald Trump kind of surprised me."
Stern said he doesn't believe Trump has had a change of heart on issues like abortion, but is instead playing to his base.
The radio host said he also believed Trump ran for president solely to get a larger contract from NBC for "The Apprentice."
"I think it started out as like a kinda cool, fun thing to do in order to get a couple more bucks out of NBC for The Apprentice, I actually do believe that," Stern said.
"He just wanted a couple more bucks out of NBC, and that is why Donald is calling for voter fraud investigations. He's pissed he won. He still wants Hillary Clinton to win. He's so f?ing pissed, he's hoping that he can find some voter fraud and hand it over to Hillary."

Howard Stern: Trump wants to be loved, presidency will be 'detrimental' to his mental health - Feb. 2, 2017

I said this a long time ago, but who the fuck knows. I said he was being crazy extreme because he wanted out of the race but on the other hand his giant ego kept him in..

His problem the crazies ate up his being so extreme..

Trump is surrounding himself with very corrupt amoral people, and Steve Bannon who is fuelled by hate & has an insatiable thirst for power.

If Trump really is as Stern says, then someone is making him act way out of character and likely has something on him that he personally sees as so big that he's willing to do anything he's told for people not to find out.

He created this reality for himself and it will be interesting to see how it turns out for him.

It is evident that Donald Trump suffers from narcissistic personality disorder and the fact that American institutions tolerate a President with a mental illness is a serious matter.

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

& obama did not? your kidding right? :1orglaugh

you ever see the press that reports how many times obama used the word "I" in all his speeches? if your watching CNN & reading huffpost, no you dont ever see that.

:1orglaugh

He's tolerated because his supporters suffer from mental illness as well.

No matter where he is, or goes, he has to talk about how great he is, how pathetic others are, and how any negative facts is fake news

Go back to your safe zone in your mom's basement you punk

Detrimental to Trump?!!!

What about the rest of us? Who gives a fuck about Donald Trump's mental health -- other than Howard Stern?

It's a ruse that went too far and he became trapped in his own marketing game. If he had lost, he would have won big time because he could go back to his life with a big bump to his brand. Money machine basically.

He tried so hard to throw the election, but didn't count on voters being as stupid as they are. It's like that movie The Producers.

Npd is not mental illness. It's a personality disorder-- not a psychosis

so trump didnt really want it. he walked through a firestorm of accusations & hate from his celeb friends, & all the time he didnt want to go through that, he was just stuck in a lie.

talk about mental illness. look in the mirror. :1orglaugh

you should stop thinking, & rent time from an average persons brain to think for you. would be a big step for you.

:1orglaugh

Thanks Dr Duke:thumbsup

remember that up until not too long ago homosexuality was listed in the dsm :helpme

while it appears that trump meets the criteria to fit the label, I'd argue his personality is a rational response to his lived experience. this is why I don't see narcissism as a 'disorder' and I don't think that it should even be listed in the dsm

he grew up rich and white and ran in circles that mirrored his privilege and entitlements. he's also clearly obsessed with fame but I think that half the peeps in america have that 'condition' now. what sort of person would he grow up to be? a generous, empathic, wise man who respected others? :upsidedow

we're all fucked in the head, there is no 'normal'. some of us aren't unethical, ignorant assholes who revel in their lack of wisdom though, that's absolutely a choice.

I think South Park ran this exact same storyline.
