“All candidates are narcissists.”
It’s a matter of severity. Some Psychologists believe that everyone is neurotic to a greater or lesser degree but most are the latter.
Trump, on the other hand is a malignant narcicist which is considered extreme and at times dangerous when in a position of power.
Is this your opinion or do you offer definitive proof of your allegations? I suspect this is your opinion. And sadly, from 53 years of experience, I can say with utter confidence that you know nothing of this disease.
And I like it!!!
Here ya go....a little gift...
“Trump, on the other hand is a malignant narcicist”
Road apples. Such a man would have left a trail of wronged people, who would be coming out of the woodwork daily.
I guess the country can look forward to a deluge of this sort of thing. Wouldn’t it be great if people would just act right?
Personality disorders are rarely single issues and, yes, there are degrees. Don’t know if anyone put this up yet but here are the symptoms.
Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
Requires excessive admiration
Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes
He owns and operates a giant business. What suggests he's behaved dangerously under those conditions?
