10/25/17: This much would seem true: Says former Sen. Tom Coburn, a conservative Republican, “We have a leader who has a personality disorder.” We know Trump craves unconditional love. Increasingly, this is clear: What he most desires is to be fawned over like Kim Jong-un.
By now, even his fans probably suspect that the president
suffers from what experts call a “narcissistic personality disorder.” According
to the Mayo Clinic, this condition is rare, with only 200,000 cases in the
United States every year. Let’s check the symptoms Trump has displayed.
____________________
Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
____________________
Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance (slaps name all over buildings, biggest inaugural crowd ever)
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration (see creepy cabinet meeting)
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it (making comparisons to all other presidents, has done more, etc.)
Exaggerate achievements and talents (brags about legislative accomplishments)
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate (I went to the best schools, I have a great mind)
Believe they are superior and can only associate with
equally special people (loves to hang out at Mar-a-Lago and his private clubs)
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior (rampant)
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with
their expectations (demands loyalty from F.B.I director, et. al.)
Take advantage of others to get what they want (marital history, Trump University)
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs
and feelings of others (Gold Star mothers, widows, pretty much everyone)
Be envious of others and believe others envy them (knows Obama was more popular, knows Hillary got more votes, can’t deal with it)
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as
conceited, boastful and pretentious (belittles aides, calls Jeff Sessions an
“idiot”)
Insist on having the best of everything – for instance, the
best car or office (calls the
White House “a dump”)
At the same time, people with narcissistic
personality disorder
have trouble handling anything they perceive as
criticism, and can:
Become impatient or angry when they don’t receive special treatment (attacks mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico)
Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted (can’t get along even with Republicans)
React with rage or contempt and try to
belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior (“Liddle Bob
Corker,” “Lyin’ Ted,” “wack job,” “loser,” “sick guy,” “she’s a pig”)
Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior (easily frustrated; can’t stop talking about Hillary, even to Boy Scouts)
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting
to change (whines because no one knows how hard his
job is)
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection (aides must present him daily information praising him)
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and
humiliation (okay, I'm guessing here; possibly a small penis?)

CERTAINLY, we know Trump’s biggest fan is Trump. Questioned by reporters, he gives himself a “10” for hurricane relief. He grades all his efforts “A+.” At the nine-month mark he told reporters he’d done more than any other president in such a span. You had to think he’d like to see blasting start on Mt. Rushmore, and if they had to blow up Abe to make room for Don, he’d be fine.
Just yesterday, our Narcissist-in-Chief described a White House luncheon with GOP senators as “a love fest.” Trump wanted the entire nation to know he had received “multiple standing ovations.”
The man is a psychological mess.
