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

Sounds like obuma and shillary doesn’t it.....
Not another Trump hit piece - oh wait, my bad!
For proof, see Dorkbama the Muslim .
Describes 0bozo very well. All too well, in fact.
Many politicians in both parties seem to have this.
No, narcissists get worse with age. It's a mental disease that given enough time can infect others. There is no cure. The only way to deal with a narcissist is to keep your distance.
Not just politicians, but professors, psychologists, government workers and media types. They are control freaks. They like to manipulate and be seen as erudite.
Also known as a “self-centered a$$hole.”
...because it just “happened” to be removed from the DSM (the psychologists’ bible) months before Ø was elected to his first term as POTUS.
What does the “doctor” who diagnosed Bush have to say about ø?
Trump indeed has a Narcissistic Personality.....but there’s a huge difference between people with that type of personality and one who has a Narcissistic DISORDER, which Trump doesn’t have.
Many successful people are Narcissistic.....it’s not a bad thing as so many like to say....people need to discern the difference of simply having a certain personality and that of a Disorder.
Trump does not have a Narcissistic Disorder.
You need to learn there’s a difference ...Trump does not have a disorder....Narcissistic personality does not mean they have Disorder. ...those are two different things altogether.
Any list of narcissistic personality disorder doesn’t really give a full understanding of what they’re really like. For one thing, there is never any peace. They triangulate, always having at least one person they get others to hate. Check out gaslighting. They’re masters at it.
They want to control your choices, they are critical of you. They only do or say nice things for or about you when others can see. They’re critical, they shame. They separate you from your friends and relatives. Of course, they lie all the time.
A friend is married to a narcissist and I’ve learned a lot about being around one from her. It’s taken her 35 years of marriage to figure out that she’s not defective, it’s him. Anyway, she had a heart attack. About a week after she got home she found out that her husband had been telling all their neighbors that HE had had a heart attack. Typical narcissist.
One of the biggest problems for people that have a parent or spouse with this disorder is that everyone else thinks the narcissist is wonderful and YOU are a piece of crap.
The only thing you can do with one of these people is run, run, run, as far away as possible.
Agreed. People with NPD leave damaged unhappy people in their wake. Barky has that. Trump doesn't.
Excellent post. Female narcissists abound as well.
Would agree with that. Not sure where they came uo with that conclusion.
Have seen it first hand until I removed that family member from my life.
I did ...
From her and her friends who as you predicted followed her (great!)
Her filing for divorce was from Frustration as she could not crack me, but reading your letter was like a time machine and I had to get off!
The psychological aspect to me was the worst, sneeringly dismissive and then boop another personality would manifest...
Peace...
Glad you got away. Some people never do.
