To me it does seem like Trump is narcissistic, at least in some ways (and as a Christian, I take psychology's notions with a big grain of salt), but what the secular humanists ignore is that most if not virtually all of our politicians are these days; the public is well-aware of that and is not fooled by the pols' talk of describing each other as dedicated "public servants," and Trump is therefore seems refreshingly candid since he is openly narcissistic. Given that the public expects narcissistic politicians, whether their artful about disguising their true motives or not, they look beyond the narcissism to what the politicians say their policies will be, and make judgments on that basis. This article, though, predictably attacks Trump supporters at its end.

As a Christian, I have more concern about Trump saying he's never needed God's forgiveness. Yet we aren't electing a Messiah or a pastor, but a president of a worldly government (as the secular humanists constantly remind us).

I like Trump, and am eternally greatful that he knocked Jebby out of the game, but, honestly, if we were to have a personal pronoun contest between him and O’Bunghole, I am not sure who would win

Maybe you should post this in the RELIGION section. :-)

Christ said: "DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT UNDER A BARREL" and Trump isn't. And he isn't a narcissist at all...he's NOTHING at all like Obama or Slick Willie Clinton the rapist and ONLY elected president to be impeached.

Trump is The textbook case for a narcissist CEO attention whore.
Some what like Pert serving his purpose in the 1992 election.
Too many duped dogs snap up the conservative red meat he throws out.
Wait and see...

I’m glad he’s said some things and not backed down, but I would much rather see Cruz get the nomination.

Gotta love the left’s projection. Never have once questioned Obama’s mental state which is is a disaster.

I hope you’re ready for incoming. A full asbestos body suit is advisable.

The trouble with Ross Perot would seem to be that he stayed in the race.

The elder Bush also seems more in the line of Dole, McCain and Romney, too. Bill Clinton has become another son to him.

Remember back in 2008 and 2012 when the media was asking this same question about Barack Obama?

Me neither.

I’m pretty sure that any medical professional who renders a diagnosis of Trump (or anyone) without actually examining them, is putting their medical license in jeopardy. Or at least opening themselves to an expensive lawsuit.

In answer to your tagline, evidently you have not had enough.

Thanks God the rest of America is awakening.

Yes, the article actually mentions that almost immediately, in regards to a lawsuit by Barry Goldwater for similar reasons. But then dismisses it, as Trump seems to be fair game to secular humanists.

LOL! First off: This is Vanity Fair, right? I can bet it's already wrong on so many levels just by association. Also, I wouldn't trust these "therapists" opinions about narcissism when they're already vain enough themselves to be quoted in an article by a publication named "vanity."

What a horrible article. Trump is not narcissistic. His children are obvious proof.
