With less than a month to go before Iowa's Republican primary caucus, Donald Trump remains atop the presidential candidate polls. His popularity appears unblemished despite brash statements, personal insults thrown at his opponents and rampant speculation over his perceived narcissistic tendencies.
Trump surely displays enormous self-regard; in June, for example, he boasted that he'd be "the greatest jobs president that God has ever created." In September, he promised, "We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning." Egoism is a trait Trump seems proud of, in fact. In 2013, he wrote in a Facebook post, "Show me someone without an ego, and I'll show you a loser — having a healthy ego, or high opinion of yourself, is a real positive in life!"

You mean like how the Democrats haven’t been electing narcissists to the Presidency since 1912 ?
Obama is a first class Sociopath.
No man runs for president without the strong conviction that he is the best man for the job.
They are all narcissists. It’s a necessary part of their resume.
Who knew?
What do we want, a second guessing milk toast?
Let’s get on to the really important issues like, does he pee standing up or sitting down.
I’m sure that will be covered soon.
You must be board because you keep posting this crap. So here is some light reading for you:
“”We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning.”
compared to Klownie the kenyan who always blames the country at every foreign stop?? What’s wrong with beng proud about your country? This idiot liberal author deserves to get a fist in the face...
That’s horsecrap trollbait on its face.
The only one posting crap is you, Jocowchip.
That guy is such a gay blade...
Obama said the oceans would be healed and “he’s the One.”
Nobel prize for giving speeches.
Trump is nowhere close to Obama in the big ego category.
That is just so cute...it is like 2008-16 never happened. Trust me it happened.
WOW! That goes back.
from the article:
“As politics becomes more of a public performance, it draws people higher in narcissism,” Twenge said. “So we will end up with more politicians who are charismatic and confident and who we like in the short term, but more who disappoint us in the long run.”
This is article is right on the MONEY.
Obama is a classic narcissist. the dangerous type. He’s NEVER really accomplished anything except fooling American voters (not so hard these days) and yet he thinks he is a GREAT president.
He can NEVER take blame for anything “i didnt draw a red line, the world did”.
he refers to himself so many times in speeches, one loses count.
and he will play golf while soldiers are dying or a crisis is going on, and he will not feel the least tinge of regret.
TRUMP. He is very sure of his capabilities. His children are all doing well. TRUE narcissists usually Destroy their families.
HE HAS accomplishments. Many.
I’ve known many people who have been handed MILLIONS of dollars to go make more and in a year they are broke. So that argument against him is moot.
Does he have a HUGE ego? yes.
Do I think he’s a little immature and a little too sensitive at times? yes.
Do I think he would make a very good president in our current situation. YES!
Cruz was/is my guy but that comment about bill’s rapes not being an issue bothers me.
either way, it looks like a lock for Trump.
we will see how much of what he’s said the past year he meant, and how conservative he really is.
I understand those who don’t like him being very concerned that once in office, he will be another FDR.
His father was conservative, his kids seem conservative, he is a good dad and granddad. we shall see,
“I am really good at killing people.”
And the thing all we conservatives want to do is emulate the Dems.
You mean the so called conservatives we have been electing? Just look at how that turned out. There is a uni-party and they do not care one cent about the citizens who elected them. Power is the only thing that matters to them. So, GO TRUMP.
Let’s get on to the really important issues like, does he pee standing up or sitting down.
Standing up, of course. Unlike.. you know..
