Is O’Reilly a narcissist?

The Mayo Clinic summed up its definition of “narcissistic personality disorder”:
If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior.
You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don’t receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry.

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) lists its own criteria for the disorder including:
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance;
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it;
Exaggerating your achievements and talents;
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people;
Requiring constant admiration;
Having a sense of entitlement;
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations;
Taking advantage of others to get what you want; and
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner.

I’m for Trump, but after reading this, it sure sounds like him. Still for Trump.

I realized the irony while i was typing it. But Bill still is a narcissist. Probably both are.

Depends on what group is defining the word. Some definitions say it leads to very bad consequences for the people in their lives. I dont know if that’s true.

I do know that he shouldn’t go on a show that has people on who constantly berate him. Why bother. He doesn’t need them

His ratings are fine :)

I, like many, have stopped watching the channel.

I thought you were posting that in reference to O’Reilly. He sure fits the profile too!

“Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it;”

Earning $10B is quite an achievement.

I don’t see him a condescending to others, only those who attack him first. To the voters, he is quite likeable. More so than most of the other candidates.
