Howard Stern: Donald Trump 'Did Not Want to be President'

Howard Stern offered his take on Donald Trump’s psyche and said “deep down he did not want to be president” during an interview with The New York Times.

Trump was a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show from the early Nineties through 2015, when he announced his presidential campaign. Trump and Stern also became close, with the radio host noting that Trump came to his wedding and he attended one of Trump’s weddings. Stern called the old Trump a “fantastic” interview and said he was “as unguarded as any human being that has ever been on my show.” But once the campaign began, Stern continued, “he became one of the worst radio guests.”

Asked if Trump was “capable of a certain level of soulful introspection,” Stern said, “No.” He posited that Trump is actually a very emotional person, but was forced to close off that well due to the trauma of growing up with a very overbearing father. “I feel that Donald is caught up in getting the love of the masses, which is unobtainable and leads to no good,” Stern said.

He intentionally sealed all his archives so nobody could dig up all of Trump's batshit insane appearances and use them against him.
