Fukk your corny debates
No that's not true at all. You're throwing narcissist around way too casually. You, like a lot of people seem to erroneously think narcissist just means anyone with a lot of ego and vanity. Nah. Narcissistic personality disorder is a specific and acute affliction and Trump is a TEXTBOOK case of it. Someone who has NPD cannot hide it. Ask any psychologist. A perfect example of that is the Khizr Khan fiasco. He legitimately did not understand how it was a bad look. No other president would be that detached from reality.congratulations, you just identified almost every President in US history. Most politicians are raging narcissists. Trump is unique only because he doesn't hide his narcissism well. Imagine the narcissism it takes to be under federal investigation and be one of the most hated figures in politics and still claim to be the best representative for your party.
Also, every shytty president thinks they did a great job and history will vindicate them.
I doubt anyone who really has NPD was ever president. Certainly not post-1900. People who are generally do shoddy work and are not high achievers. Trump is example of that. He inherited all his wealth and maintained it by using effective branding, tricking and scamming people, and using the law to his advantage and had a bunch of failures from poor planning along the way. Like any other narcissist, his work is sloppy and displays a lack of attention to detail. Just look at this tweeting and his shyt show of an RNC.
Working your way up through government and being a policy wonk is not something they tend to excel it. They might be ambitious but they tend to not be able to accept criticism and work with others, and are too distracted by their own grandiosity to accomplish much. That's why many dictators who rise through just force and will have been narcissists. And that's why a Trump presidency would be uniquely dangerous imo. He has all the hallmarks of a dictator. Of course there are checks and balances, but he will push the envelope of executive power as far as it can go. Bush and Obama already expanded it enough.
