Guest Guest Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 He suffers from narcissistic personality disorder, a recognized mental illness. Here is the description of the disorder, from the Mayo clinic site, listing the DSM criteria. DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features: Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it Exaggerating your achievements and talents Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people Requiring constant admiration Having a sense of entitlement Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations Taking advantage of others to get what you want Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others Being envious of others and believing others envy you Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal and value yourself more than you value others. It is the responsibility of the American people to recognize that a man with a severe mental illness is running for president, and to stop him before he does to the country what he is doing to the Republican party. We do not need a Hitler or a Mussolini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
