Listen to this guy, Sam Vaknin, a diagnosed narcissist explains the qualities of a narcissist and how he compares them to a psychopath. It may take a few minutes to get into it, but he's very good at explaining. Bear in mind that Trump has been diagnosed repeatedly as a narcissist, in fact, a malignant narcissist.
"A narcissist is an unfinished human, a work in process. Narcissist lack critical elements that comprise human beings. Narcissists lack empathy. They have no access to positive emotions. They lack a functioning ego. they have a constellated self in many respects and are, therefore, a kind of artificial intelligence, a kind of robot, but externally they look like human beings. It's a very good simulation of a human being, but it's not a human being, and you would have an uncanny reaction in the presence of a narcissist."
"Narcissists are delusional. They. fully believe everything they're telling you. The problem is they deceive you because they're authentic. They're real. They mean it. This is a bone of contention with people who dislike Trump. The dislikers will say he's lying, and the Trump supporters would say, "I sense authenticity and honesty."
"I think he's authentic in his insanity, in his delusionality, in his cruelty. Everything is authentic. The narcissist truly believes his stories, his promises, the intentions, and the fantasies he imposes on you."
"There is a confusion between narcissists and psychopaths. Psychopath manipulate you knowingly. Psychopaths, if they make a promise, they know they're going to break it. If they make an offer, it's goal oriented. They know the difference between fantasy and reality. They're selling the fantasy to you, but they're remaining stuck in reality. Psychopaths are firmly embedded and grounded in reality, but they want you to lose your mind. They Gaslight you. They falsify your reality. They induct you into fantasy, and they do it intentionally in a premeditated manner."
"The narcissist is not like that. The narcissist is highly automatic. Most of the processes are automatic, and they believe everything that they say because they are grandiose. Their say is the word of God. How could you doubt it's a God speaking?"
