During the presidency of the president with the most impressive blur that modern man has ever seen, we all realized at one time or another that this is a man with a very big ego. Trump’s relentless focus on himself has often earned him the label narcissist. But what does this actually mean and is this label really true in the case of Trump?
We all realized at some point that this is a person with a very big ego. Trump’s relentless focus on himself has often earned him the label narcissist. But what does this actually mean and is the label correct in the case of Trump?
Religious people have the Torah, Christians have the New Testament, Islam has the Koran and psychologists have the DSM. – The American Psychiatric Diagnosis Book, which is considered the Holy Grail of Diagnosis, and contains the recipe for narcissistic personality disorder. According to the book a narcissistic personality is diagnosed with an inflated self-image, a constant need for admiration and difficulty in empathy. If Trump meets five of the nine criteria listed in the book, we can cook ourselves a Trump narcissist:
1
Inflated self-importance – Trump’s self-importance was evident long before his days as president. He did a lot of defining himself as the best businessman in America and even opened a course that taught people how to be as good as him, a course that would prove to be a scam and even won a lawsuit.
Trump also wrote books that were supposed to teach his readers how to be as successful as he was, and while Trump was indeed successful on some level – he really wasn’t one of the most successful, he was a serial bankrupt who lost quite a bit of money and dropped his debts on shareholders.
Between 1991 and 2009 Donald Trump recorded 6 bankruptcies. Even a casino he owns has gone bankrupt. He has been accused of fraud numerous times.
And now he has led the Republican Party to a moral bankruptcy. He led the United States – with masses of his rogue victims – to a terrible slump.

In his days as president, the fantasy of greatness came true and further exaggerated the self-image. This could be seen in many statements by Trump who claimed that he was the best president of America and that America had won its first good term. Trump can tell you that he treated the plague in the best way, turned the economic situation of America and how good a president he is to America, even though according to the data he is not necessarily like that. Every achievement that Trump achieves is historic and unique, even if it is an achievement that his predecessors achieved as well. When it comes to his own achievement – it is necessarily an impressive achievement.

Dealing with fantasies about control, beauty power and victory – it is impossible to know what is going on in a person’s head completely, but from Trump’s attitude to his loss in the presidential race, Trump seems to live in a fantasy in which he is the best president the world has seen. Trump’s loss does not reconcile with the fantasy in which he lives and so he is unwilling to accept his loss. Sure something in the election was wrong – not him. Oh and the hair. The constant care of the hair and the tan.

Belief in uniqueness and hanging out in high-status circles and high social classes – even before the presidency, Trump would go out with models, star in reality shows and hang out with the most powerful and well-known people – that’s how he got into politics.
4
Need for Worship and Adoration – One Twitter account will provide all the evidence for this section.
5
Expectation of special favors and total obedience to his expectations, a sense of entitlement – Trump’s request for Lantern not to accept the election results and his real disappointment that Lantern was unwilling not to receive the results we all saw last week.

Utilizing others to get what he wants – you can find a lot of examples, but the last week proves That Trump has no problem exploiting his supporters and voters to his advantage. He called on them, for example, to march with him to Capitol Hill, but he himself remained to watch the violent and bloody break-in events for Congress, tucked away in front of the White House TV screen. Many of Trump’s political moves also take a toll and exploit it for a chance to get elected – Trump took advantage of the plague and harm to the people to spread “Pike News” and hurt Democrats at the cost of human life.
7
Inability or unwillingness to recognize and contain the feelings of others – a lack of empathy for weaker populations, including public ridicule for people with disabilities and a blatant, blatant and harassing treatment of women, and a lack of empathy for voters, when he knew they might be harmed by congressional riots. In Trump’s world there is a winner and there is a loser, a ruler and a ruler. This is how he writes in his books and this is how he also learned from his father’s business world. In addition, Trump does not consider the feelings of the people who voted against him, nor does he make their decision. They are not important to him.
8
Jealousy of others or belief that others are jealous of – it is natural that people who want to be the strongest and best will be jealous of the people who came there. While Trump has said many times that he is envied, there is one person who is certainly the object of envy for him – Barack Obama. Trump obsessively attacks Obama on Twitter and puts a lot of effort into damaging his image while spreading Pike News like “Obama’s fake birth certificate.” It hurts Trump that someone like Obama is more loved than him, He wants to reach the level of sympathy that Obama has received.

Demonstrating arrogant and arrogant behaviors or positions – During his presidential career, Trump took advantage of Twitter to humiliate and belittle political rivals, world presidents and prime ministers and even entire populations. He even tweeted that he has a button for a much larger nuclear weapon than Kim Jong Un’s, and unlike Kim’s “button”, his also works.

Let’s tell the truth, it’s not surprising that Trump can meet all nine clauses. But it is surprising how many politicians and key people fit this recipe – jealousy of successful political figures, downsizing of political rivals and populations from the other political side, hanging out in high social circles, and sometimes even a lack of empathy and inflated self-image. Then If power is an addictive feeling that only intensifies the longing for it as much as it is achieved, when is it actually a disorder?
The flexible and prevalent definition of a disorder is, as the name implies, something that bothers us – either us or others. If a person meets all the clauses but is in an environment that is surrounded by similar people or an environment that glorifies and embraces such personality traits, what is the point of diagnosing such a disorder? Perhaps the only difference between the simple person who thinks he’s a big whip and is only busy promoting himself, and the common politician who is busy with the same thing – is just where he is. So perhaps the best treatment that can be found for a narcissistic personality disorder – is to get into politics.
