DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
When you weren't paying attention, apparently, he was elected and took office as President of the United States. Most people consider that a significant achievement. It's also an achievement that literally makes him "superior" ("higher in rank, status, or quality") to millions of people who work for the executive branch (he's chief executive) and armed forces (he's commander-in-chief).
So you might want to reconsider the implications of that portion that you bolded.
Mentally ill is probably too strong, but there's definitely something not right about him. He's acting exactly like his lifelong associates said he would act though - so he's consistently inconsistent and erratic at least.
Narcissistic personality disorder is definitely a mental disorder, and there is no question he has that.
he is not well- really, a pres does not do that on open media any where - he has a persecution complex or something - but we cannot allow that kind of deranged rhetoric coming from a sitting potus-- just not proper or good for the country- making us look very weak in front of our enemies-- and lose confidence from our allies.
^^^^^ Re your reply to T-310 above:
T-310 was referring to P&OC posters who type tRump. He wasn't referring to President Trump.

So you concede he has a mental disorder based on the DSM-5 criteria yet irrationally cling to the thought that he's suitable for office? Sortof loopy logic but then again that's just my opinion. & after all, I'm not desperately attempting to defend the indefensible.
How about this other disorder?

His words, actions & behaviors towards thousands of American people who were plaintiffs in the Trump 'University' lawsuit alone demonstrate all of the above features.
By the way, any news on the final hearing re: Trump 'University' lawsuit? It's scheduled for the end of this month.
Also by the way, has he released his tax returns yet?
