I was taken aback at the length of the Wiki bio and the sources that support it. You can bet the people who wrote that bio knew how he would respond, so they thoroughly documented it to cover themselves.

It sounds to me that he's trump-like in the sense that he craves attention. In reading through the bio, it's hard not to conclude that he watched the news and looked for every possible opportunity to insert himself into the scenario. Brittany Spears? Really?

And ICE raids? Come on already?!!

This would be to no one's good because the evidence that he fails to practice psychology in any ethical or humane way is solidly been demonstrated and documented by others. Nevertheless, he even conned the American Psychological Association. I can't imagine who researched that nomination.

Oprah was really a sucker for him. She launched his career and has stayed with him, though we know they must certainly diverge on politics.

As you read the history of his various televsion series exploits, it becomes obvious he's going downhill (major clue: selling nutritional supplements!) , finally resulting in this bankruptcy. And after he scammed them for $500 million, too. He's a crook in the style of trump.
