Could Donald Trump actually have a mental illness, or Is he just a narcissistic jerk?

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

Unless you know all of them personaly i doubt this.

If you've ever read a psychology book, narcissistic personality disorder has pretty clear hallmarks that are hard to miss. It doesnt take a rocket scientist. Look up the signs.

So, if you come to the conclusion that Trump (or anyone in your life) is on the extreme end of the narcissist spectrum — using the tools Navarro provides — then that person is, as his book explains, “an emotional, psychological, financial, physical danger to you or others.”

Navarro urged me to get his book and go through the checklists and make my own decision. In my scoring, Trump is off the charts. Your scoring may be different.

Interestingly, it was one of the checklists Navarro posted online that motivated me to contact him in the first place. I had been engaged with the question of whether Trump was delusional or a con man (or neither) since late May, when he told Californians suffering their worst drought in a thousand years, “There is no drought.”
