In regard to [[Donald Trump]], Cryer opined on the May 5, 2016, episode of the podcast ''[[Never Not Funny]]'': {{cquote|I have been pointing out, and I have been screaming to the rooftops, that Donald Trump is the [[Charlie Sheen]] of politics ... I have to tell you, I love Charlie Sheen, I loved working with him when he was sober, but he was, he's full of shit. He has been full of shit, he has serious addiction. His addiction is obviously serious, drugs, and, but, Trump is just addicted to feeling important. I think if anybody is under the delusion that he cares about anybody in America besides himself, they are stoned and need to rethink their priorities, 'cause it's just ridiculous that he's gotten as far as he has.<ref name="NNF">{{cite news|title=Jon Cryer, NEVER NOT FUNNY #1812|url=http://www.earwolf.com/episode/jon-cryer-2|date=May 5, 2016|first=Jimmy |last= Pardo|work=[[Never Not Funny]]|access-date=June 1, 2016}}</ref><!-- Cites previous three sentences -->}}
