Idiocy. A severely pathological psychological disorder should automatically disqualify individuals from positions of high influence.

Who would you propose gets to determine what"position of high influence" constitutes?
So HIPPA laws would offer no protection for these individuals as well?

Here's where we start getting into the responsibility of voters to reject candidates and leaders who exhibit SEVERE signs of NPD and other mental disorders. Thankfully the majority of Americans and people overwhelmingly around the world are waking up to the fact this guy is definitely not of sound mind and judgment.

I mean sane individuals of average intellect should be capable of determining this to a fair degree.

This really is besides the point, as POTUS is about as high as you can go. Why would you even ask this?

True and sadly it eliminates a large group of the American voters.

Show me a single interview with Obama that measures up to all those traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I can find MANY unedited interviews and speeches by Trump. Show me one by Obama, if he is the so-called stick to measure by.

She is narcissist simply by the way she shows contempt for the rights of the people and patronizes the "disenfranchised" as these political narcissist call them. For example she like to talk about the 2nd amendment but her flow is certainly not an academic approach to the issue. In short she uses rhetoric and lots of it which indicates some narcissism.

I'm sorry that does not qualify as NPD. I completely understand your contempt for her. I really do. I understand she can be narcissistic, she can be terrible... but it's not the same as the actual disorder NPD. There are a lot of a-holes who are not NPD.

Ok a narcissi turns her head while her husband is getting a BJ so as not to lose her ticket to the big show?

That's pretty well what I was getting at from the get-go. You can't expect an exceptional individual to be without quite a few quirks (pathological tendencies, let's say). That's totally different from crossing the line and being an outright pathological character.

That's just a really sad, stereotypical parrot-echo-chamber thing to say.

We as a nation really are doing okay.
EGO and Narcissism aside, our country is still recovering from 9/11, and from 2008.....those two recent occasions that someone threw a wrench in the works and stopped our whole machine from working. But, our country is recovering!

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

I agree... We really are doing okay... and if the country doesn't want us to freak out on each other, media needs to clean up it's act and stop fueling the fear porn for ratings, and Democrats and Republicans need to stop using rhetoric that makes the other party sound like an enemy of the state rather than just a different opinion.

a reply to: BuzzyWigs

We don't KNOW what 911 was we have eaten the official story.
THAT is complete garbage and we should have GUESSED when it happened.

a reply to: cavtrooper7

Getting off topic, but yeah lots of questions linger on 9/11, but that cement has dried. The narrative has been decided and not likely to change. We have to level out and find a way to be united again.

Are you not expecting people to point out that this describes Hillary?

Limping, crawling, staggering. We'll start to actually recover when Obama is out and Hillary is denied.

Fully expected, open to it. I haven't seen any solid evidence of NPD by Hillary. I invite you to find me a clip.

However on Trump, the case for NPD is pretty overwhelming.

a reply to: spiritualzombie

The oligarchs RAN to Hillary, I have MY opponents Identified rather clearly.

a reply to: spiritualzombie

What did he do?
MORE importantly HOW was he caught?

Clinton’s profile contains a cluster of three prominent patterns: a dominant, controlling tendency (aggressiveness); an ambitious, self-serving tendency (narcissism); and a conscientious, dutiful tendency (obsessiveness).

In moderation, personal ambition also has positive aspects; for example, boldness, competitiveness, and self-assurance. But the self-confidence of ambitious leaders readily shades into arrogance, a sense of entitlement, and an air of superiority — and they often act as though entitled.

After interviewing many of Clinton’s associates for a 1994 article in New Yorker magazine, Connie Bruck concluded, “In the end, the sureness about her own judgment — at its extreme, a sense that she alone is wise — is probably Hillary’s cardinal trait.”

Similarly, political scientist and psychoanalyst Stanley Renshon wrote in High Hopes: The Clinton Presidency and the Politics of Ambition that one aspect of Hillary Clinton’s character that stands out is her confidence in herself, her positions, and her work — resulting in a sense of entitlement, “a tendency to not want to be bound by limits that apply to others.”
