I agree 100%. Not sure if it’ll helps you feel better but I’m “the” other person that has been saying this along with you lol. I’m a psychology geek and it is so completely obvious that’s what he has imo. I have noticed over the years that people don’t “get” NPD because it’s so counter-intuitive to a functioning human though.
I would actually argue that NPD is on average more dangerous than the ASPDs like psychopathy and sociopathy because it implicitly involves other people. Psycho/sociopaths want “something” and will do anything to get it but sometimes that thing they want may be fairly harmless. Like maybe they sometimes they just stuff so they’re thieves. Not great, but mostly a victimless crime. Narcissists specifically want admiration and to prop up that fragile sense of self but that always specifically involves other people, so they’re always going to be in proximity with others where the ASPDers may not.
Tldr, the doom Cheeto is a POS with NPD and I will lose exactly zero sleep the day he dies.
The latest Ezra Klein talks about this, finally, and in a way that probably won’t get him sued. It’s well articulated, as always with Klein, and more than a little terrifying given the way he builds his presentation.
The podcast is also a YouTube entitled something to the effect of: what’s wrong with trump, not age.
