No ones saying change their opinon on trump. Psychologists have already calledout trump as being a narcissist. Textbook even. One professor from Harvard even admitted that he used trump as an example of textbook narcissism for his class. This was confessed to the atlantic. It has  nothing to do with whether I like him, I dont like narcissists. Ive been around some.  Its not healthy. When you grow up around people with money, you tend to find a couple.

He's a narcissistic jerk. He would fuck himself if he could.

I'm with you on the disliking narcassits. People don't realize just how evil they are, it goes much deepr than just loving yourself a bit more than is the norm. Maybe the angling would be better to go with what being a narcassit truly entails. Inability to feel genuine empathy doesn't really cover it.

Having spent the past 12 months in an on off relationship with a non diagnosed bpd, suicide threats, projection to farcical levels, even at 32 learning more about people psychologically than I thought possible. That's after having spent 12 months in a residential rehabilitation unit for my behaviour age 21 for a road traffic accident/front lobe brain injury.

These people are EVIL and do not deserve ANY compassion or respect for their plight. That was a hard lesson as because of my psychological past, empathy goes hand in hand with everything, except the internet :p so to condemn a person that has "good bits" is difficult but a requirment.

Anyway, if you liberal leaning people want to highlight narcassism then you can all do a much better job than you are. It simply doesn't resonate when put in those sound bite sentences. I'm not too fussed personally though because an evil person can still run a country well, however thin skinned, and all the rest of it.

No doubt about it, I hate Trump's personality on a social level but I'm a strong supporter none the less. It doesn't have to be zero sum because the choices in politics are between bad and worse.

(edit: my experience with bpd hell woman was not a narcassist but the symptoms are all more or less shared across the DSM criteria)

So glad he isn't running my Country.
I pity you Americans, your politics is going to be so amusing to watch over the coming years.

What kind of idiot still uses Twitter?

If people really want to get into this psychological crap then you want to explore the evidence.

Trump and why he's a horrible bastard borderliner.

Obsession with cleanliness (documented).
Inability to expand on an apology and specify what is being apologized for. (documented)
Does not back down under any circumstances for any reason other than strategy. (documented)
Child like language not matched to intellectual ability (documented)
Extremely persuasive repetitive sentence structure (documented)
Believes his own lies, would pass a lie detector (hunch, but obvious)

These types of statements are what covers a borderliner/narc.

"thin skinned" means fuck all, it's FAR more sinister than that. You guys need to up your game and to the guy above, Trump would not fuck his own ass that's just stupid and nobody takes you seriously when you talk like that.

I'm looking forward to watching all the great content coming from Saturday Night Live, and every other late night talk show for the next 4 years.

Saturday Night Live Trump, universally hilarious.

Jimmy Fallon, mediocre.

Seth Meyers, dreadful.

Stephen Colbert/Tom Oliver, shoot me now, feel free to rape my corpse.

I would say that Obama is more likely to have the mental issue, not Trump. Nobel peace prize winner Obama, in the outgoing days of of his presidency, is actively trying to start a war with Russia because his own party got caught doing a bunch of illegal stuff via email leaks on the web. Instead of standing up and apologizing for the horrible and illegal things that his party is guilty of and which lost them the election, Obama instead blames Russia for uncovering the criminal acts in the first place and then tries to even start a war with Russia at a time when any decent president would be preparing to pass the reigns over to his successor. I would normally call Obama a narcissist and a tyrant for doing something like this, but I suspect that his strings are merely being pulled by the rich global elite above him who control Washington and are panicking about Trump.

Trump is unscripted, whatever...  It concerns me a lot more when somebody is controlled by a teleprompter like the current president.  Why does somebody need a teleprompter all the time, what is that person trying to hide, who controls the message that this person is delivering?

I though it was a well known fact that he's an extremely loud & proud narcissist?
