  • Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from others
  • Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
  • Self-perception of being unique, superior and associated with high-status people and institutions
  • Needing constant admiration from others
  • Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
  • Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain
  • Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs
  • Intensely envious of others and the belief that others are equally envious of them
  • Pompous and arrogant demeanor


Remind you of anyone?
Most politicians......expect for those few that are strait psychopaths. Might be a couple people.

My ex wife suffers from Narcisstic Personality Disorder, a very nasty disease. She also suffers from Paranoia, an even more nasty malady.


Arrogance, failure at career (but unable to admit it), superiority, effort to put everyone else down, fear that they are not at the top of the pedestal, constant reminder to anyone who will still listen as to how superior they are, self importance, and constant use of others to achieve their goals (just like politicians, of which she was!).


At the end of the day, they end up with no real friends except a small club of like minded people who play this forever game with each other, seeing who can be the most narcisstic. It is consuming, at the expense of anyone who comes near them.


The Donald reminds me of her....and either one of them could be the poster child for this awful disease. Donald's attempt to impress the President of Australia this morning is a classic example: YOU do know how much I won by (but he didn't actually win the vote) and no, I don't have time to deal with a peon and talk about facts. Hangs up to protect superior attitude!

Yes. Everyone has agendas. Whether they're left or the right. They vote for people that they perceive that best fit their agendas. Right now the right is in charge so their agenda take precedent. They policies take precedent.

I never denied that Trump has narcissistic tendencies. That is the point. If narcissistic tendencies are bad, they are bad no matter who displays them.

Hillary and Bill Clinton.

This list describes them exactly. The sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others, power-seeking behavior, the fixation on fantasies of power, success, etc., exploitative of others to achieve personal gain, self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions. Clintons fit the description perfectly. We are so fortunate that voters weren't persuaded by their lies. Now their supplier George Soros needs to understand his crazy liberal agenda won't work here in the United States and find a healthier hobby.
