According to a number of top U.S. psychologists, like Harvard professor and researcher Howard Gardner, Donald Trump is a “textbook” narcissist. In fact, he fits the profile so well that clinical psychologist George Simon told Vanity Fair, “He’s so classic that I’m archiving video clips of him to use in workshops.” This puts Trump in the same category as a number of infamous dictators like Muammar Gaddafi, Napoleon Bonaparte, and Saddam Hussein. And although there are narcissists out there who entertain us, innovate, or create great art, when a narcissist is given immense power over people’s lives, they can behave much differently. As the 2016 p**********l e******n grows nearer we must ask ourselves, if elected president would Donald Trump act on the behalf of the will of the people, or would he behave more like a dictator—silencing any dissenting voices, perpetually refusing to compromise, and being oppressive to certain groups? To answer that, we should ask a little bit more about what makes a narcissist tick, and how they tend to behave when given free rein.

What is it exactly that makes someone a certifiable narcissist and not simply a person who has a healthy amount of confidence and a burning desire to achieve great goals? According to the Mayo Clinic, narcissistic personality disorder is “a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.”

I believe that the same was used for Obeyme. Many times.

Trump may be a narcissist, but he can't possibly be any worse than the Narcissist in Chief who is currently living in the White House.

I'm not excited about having another narcissist in the White House, but I am certain that I don't want a lying, corrupt woman who can't be trusted with national security in the White House. How the hell did we end up with the worst choices from both parties?

My god Don, we finally seem to have found something to agree on. For the Democrats it's because Biden wouldn't jump in, I still think he would have won it, and for you conservatives??? Well, there I don't see an excuse. There's always 2020 I suppose....

Yeah, just not by psychologists...

The definition of narcissistic behavior is across the board.
Example:
We have a cult of mega churches here.
Perry Noble has been "relieved" of his duties ftom NewSpring Church. The media has been very adamant that the problem is alcohol abuse.
BS. The man who made his living off of 30,000 "parishioners" is a money grubbing narcissist. He has a a public relations person!!! What true church has a public relations?
Wow. There are narcissistic personalities every where.
But for what? Trump is proud. Proud that capitalism works.
