So, what GOP PRESIDENTIAL candidate does THIS sound like?
Is this "The Donald" or is this "The Donald?" The only thing this description is missing is a bad weave and an orange complexion! LOL!!!1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance.
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
4. Requires excessive admiration (regularly fishes for compliments, and is highly susceptible to flattery).
5. Has a sense of entitlement.
6. Is interpersonally exploitative.
7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling (or, I would add, unable) to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
9. Shows arrogant, haughty [rude and abusive] behaviors or attitudes.
The full article has additional insight...! Terrifying!
