I think he would do fine on a desert island. At least for as long as any other person. Eventually he would want some human companionship, as we all do. He would be the one TO survive, no matter what

thats why I voted for him

Of course. He needs it to be able to effectively ignore the nonsense attacks of the left. Whats the problem with that anyway?

Yes. Look at all of the branded products he has tried out with his name on them. Look at how he treated people on "Apprentice". Look at the way he boasts about his sexual exploits.

What is a bigger issue is whether or not he can make objective decisions in spite of his ego. So far, I haven't seen much evidence of that - from the billboard to Rubio's "hands" comment to any number of other personal attacks. I hope that it doesn't become his Achilles' Heel.

I sure hope so. Otherwise, he'll become another go with the flow typical politician and not accomplish anything. If he accomplishes just half of what he promised, we'll be well on the way to make America great again, as he said.

Trump definitely does not have problems with low self esteem. However, he doesn't seem to suffer the highly negative aspects of the narcissists I've had the unpleasant experience of dealing with. He is eager to listen to opposing points of view, and is not opposed to modifying his plans when he hears something that sounds like it might work better. That's incredibly rare, since the egotistical people I've known have been stubborn, dismissive of other viewpoints, and downright self-destructive (like Hillary). If he remains approachable, he could be quite a successful President.

He absolutely has a huge ego. Nobody puts TRUMP on properties all over the world if they don't. However, that is the very reason why he is driven to succeed; he has a brand reputation to uphold. That makes him potentially the best president ever. He won't want the USA failing on his watch and hurting his brand reputation!

Yes. But because he is almost as smart as he thinks he is (which is really smart) he can get away with it.

I think he has a healthy ego/self-image. However, unlike Hussein Obama, I don't think he is narcissistic or egomaniacal.

Dino, your ego shall hatch big.

Funny for me dino is "yuge".
You have to at least have a sizable ego to run for president.
Me dino did not write my self in on the ballot but I did announce my candidacy here in the Gulch.
But so did a couple of other in the Gulch sizable egos that I noticed.

Too funny.

No, only huge hands.

The easy answer is "probably not." The Objectivist theory of self-esteem suggests that his public behavior speaks of a man who lives through others. He is not self-defined. Alone on an island, he might have a hard time being himself well enough to survive.

On the other hand, for someone who is intelligent and gifted - as he appears to be - impression management might be just a tool, like accounting or law, whether he "believes" in them or not.

I work in a military office and one day, on our way to meeting across base, I discussed Donald Trump with my Sergeant First Class. "What do you make of his success at military school?" I asked. We puzzled it out back and forth, all speculation, but pretty much decided that Donald Trump proved to himself, his father, and the world, that he could excel at whatever he chose to. That speaks well, of him, of course, but does not address the deeper issue of where he finds his inner visibility.
