I am the author of Malignant SelfLove Narcissism Revisited . Evaluating the mental health of a public figure requires an inordinate amount of research . Over the past five years , I have watched well over 600 hours of Donald Trump in various settings . I have read everything he has written and everything he was quoted as saying . I have no such indepth acquaintance with other candidates , like Hillary Clinton . By now I ' m convinced that Trump is a malignant narcissist . This view is shared by dozens of mental health professionals , who went on public record with their analyses of his mental infirmity . Trump is dangerous , antisocial , destructive , vindictive , sadistic , and hypervigilant . He is hypersensitive and a bit paranoid . Trump regards himself as omniscient in other words , he knows it all , he ' s allknowing . He is an authority on anything and everything , from aesthetics to ethics . Trump lacks intellectual curiosity simply because he knows everything . Why would he be curious , and what would he be curious about ? He regards outside advice as both superfluous and injurious accepting advice implies that you are less than perfect , and Trump is perfect . Trump is likely to surround himself with timid yesmen and sycophantic acolytes . He is likely to generate an impregnable echo chamber , rather than a council of wise men and women . Trump ' s grasp of nuanced reality is already very weak , but it is likely to deteriorate further to the point of paranoid psychosis . Faced with opposition , however tenuous , Trump is likely to react by scapegoating and by inciting street or state violence against targeted groups and individuals . Trump is the state , so his enemiesin other words , anyone who as much as voices doubt or disagrees with him , that ' s his enemieshis enemies by definition are enemies of the state , because he is the state . Owing to his selfperceived innate superiority , Trump regards himself as above and transcending laws made by lesser mortals . Laws are meant to trap and ensnare giants like him , to drag him down to the pedestrian level of mediocrity . Trump plays by the rules only when , and only if , they accord with his predilections , and especially his selfinterest . Like all narcissists , Trump believes that he is universally loved , adored , and admired . He attributes this ostensible and utterly delusional blanket approbation to his effusive charm and his irresistibility . He is firmly convinced that he can motivate people to transgress against their own moral convictions and to break the law if necessary . How is he going to do that ? By the sheer force of his monumental personality . Trump idealizes and then rapidly devalues people , collectives , and institutions . Trump is in sempiternal flux he is inconstant in his judgments , inconstant in his opinions , views , and his fleeting attachments . Trump is intellectually lazy , so he is a firm adherent of shortcuts and of fake it ' til you make it . It is a dangerous approach that led him to botch numerous business deals and to inflict untold damage and suffering on thousands of people . Trump is authoritarian in the worst sense of the word . In his disordered , chaotic mind , Trump believes that he is infallible incapable of error , incapable of making mistakes . He believes that he is omnipotent , allpowerful , can achieve anything if he just sets his mind to it . He believes that he is omniscient he needs to learn nothing , as he is the fount of all true intuitive knowledge and wisdom . These tendencies to regard oneself as infallible , as omniscient and omnipotentthese tendencies preclude any proper teamwork , any orderly governance , any institutional capacity , any flow of authority and responsibility , any structure , to put it plainly . Trump is an artist he is led by inconsistent and intermittent inspiration , not by reliable , oldfashioned perspiration . He ' s not a selfmade man as he likes to present himself . Trump is a selfconjured caricature of a selfmade man . Trump is guided by his alleged inner divine wisdom . He is a malevolent guru and calculator , not a politician or a statesman . Ironically , Trump ' s much trumpeted grandiosity is fragile , because it is based on delusional , fantastic assumptions of perfection and intellectual brilliance , and these assumptions are very hard to defend . Trump ' s relentless and compulsive pursuit of affirmation and adulationof narcissistic supplyis his way of buttressing his grandiose fantasies , which otherwise are indefensible . Trump needs to constantly be idolized just to feel half human . Criticism , disagreement , however minor , however wellintentioned , are perceived by Trump as unmitigated threats to the precarious house of cards that is his personality . Consequently , Trump is sadistically vindictive , aiming not just to counter such countervailing opinions regarding his godlike status , but to deter and intimidate future critics , and hopefully ruin them for good . Finally , aiming to disavow his own fragility and the indisputable fact that his public persona is nothing but a fabrication , Trump ostentatiously and boldly abhors and berates the weak , the meek , losers , haters of which he is a primary example , the disabled , women , minorities , and anyone else who might remind him by their very existence of how far from perfect and brilliant he is . The public Trump is about hatred , resentment , rage , envy , and other negative emotions , because he is mercilessly driven by these very demons internally . Trump ' s ? ?? existence is a Kafkaesque trial in which he stands accused of being a mere average nottoobright mortal individual . In this trial , Trump is constantly found wanting and guilty as charged . His entire life is a desperate , lastditch attempt to prove wrong the prosecution in this neverending courtroom drama which is Donald Trump ' s soul .
