 Actually narcissistic personality disorder is quite rare as far as diagnosis, but trump clearly suffers greatly from it. Atlantic magazine interviewed a bunch of psychologists, including some from Harvard. They said that almost all presidents have displayed an ego, but trump it's all the hallmarks of a textbook narcissist. They showed a breakdown of trump all the way to clinton and broke down how badly trump is polarizing in ego size. 

Having a narcissist as a president frequently happens. There are many older examples like Lyndon B. Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and even relatively recently Bill Clinton ... (Having a president with a massive ego is not all that uncommon.)

That's bullshit. I've never invented a fictional character nor masquerade as a fictional character to brag about myself.  Trump felt the need to concoct fictional spokesmen named John Miller and John Barron,  so that he could tell tall tales…so that he could brag about himself, his business and his conquest of women.  Such insecurity as Trump expresses, from the need to invent fictional characters, and masquerade as those fictional characters, to telling the world that he doesn’t have small private parts, is a sign that he has a mental problem that goes well beyond clinical narcissism.

Trump is insecure ? You must not know him very well ... 

No. we've never had a narcissistic president, but narcissism and sociopaths are more likely to found in business than politics.
