Donald Trump, personally, is a gentleman, Sharon Osborne told Conan O'Brien on Tuesday, citing her experience working with him on Celebrity Apprentice. But he appears to be treating the campaign like an extended episode of his reality show, she added, when he should be serious and "get an air about" himself. Conan asked what she'd think if Trump were actually elected president, and Osborne blanched.
"I would be terrified, because he's a narcissist," she said. "He just is — he knows that about himself.... And if somebody disagrees with him, he doesn't take it well. And to think that this man would have his hand on that button — can you imagine? He's got such a quick, fiery temper." He can't control himself, she added, leading Conan to observe that Trump reminds him of Mussolini. Well, at least he didn't say Hitler. Watch below. Peter Weber
