The narcissist candidate

A lack of action contributing to Trump's favorable poll numbers is the refusal of the American Psychiatric Association to publicly attach a formal diagnosis of “malignant narcissism” to a textbook example of it. Trump exhibits every major marker of this personality disorder: a need for admiration, inflated self-worth, disregard for others, paranoia, perceived persecution without proof and aggressive, manipulative, abusive behavior without remorse. When a narcissist decides someone is no longer useful, they'll often discard the person. Sound familiar? The trail is littered with Trump's past staffers. Do you really want this type of person near a nuclear trigger or wielding immense military power? There is no more time to waste: Goldwater Rule be damned. By the way, there is no cure for malignant narcissism disorder.
