re: Trump: Gavin Newsom beat the hell out of Ron DeSanctimonious

Nancy Pelosi could have had him in the palm of her hand if she only said something nice about him. If on national tv she had said something superficial like "Trump is so handsome" he would have signed every bill she wanted to send to the White House.


IMHO,he definitely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

How to identify signs of narcissistic personality disorder.
What is narcissistic personality disorder?

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition that affects how you view yourself and relate to others. Having NPD means you have an excessive need to impress others or feel important. That need can be strong enough to drive harmful behaviors, negatively affecting you and those around you.

NPD gets its name from Narcissus, a hunter from Greek mythology. According to the myth, Narcissus was so obsessed with his own beauty that he couldn’t stop looking at his reflection in a pool of water. He did nothing else but stare at his reflection until he died.

While people commonly connect the term “narcissism” to physical appearance — just like in the myth — NPD isn’t just about how you look. It can also involve other traits or abilities you have, such as intelligence, charisma, artistic skill, athletic ability, wealth, power, success and more.

How common is narcissistic personality disorder?

Experts aren’t sure how common NPD is. According to research data, between 0.5% and 5% of people in the U.S. may have it. Between 50% and 75% of cases affect men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB).

However, many people hide narcissistic beliefs or behaviors (informally known as “covert narcissism”). Because of that, it’s hard to estimate how many people truly have NPD.

Symptoms and Causes
Narcissistic personality disorder affects how you think about yourself and relate to others. It can weaken existing relationships and block formation of new ones.
Narcissistic personality disorder isn’t just about physical appearance. People with this disorder tend to put their desires, goals and needs first without regard to how their actions might affect others.
What are the symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder?

The symptoms of NPD all revolve around thoughts, feelings and actions. The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition text revision (also known as the “DSM-5-TR™” or just “DSM-5®”) has a list of nine criteria. To others, the symptoms that fall under the criteria may look like the following:

1. Grandiose sense of self-importance.

Overestimating their capabilities or holding themselves to unreasonably high standards.
Bragging or exaggerating their achievements.
2. Frequent fantasies about having or deserving:

Success.
Power.
Intelligence.
Beauty.
Love.
Self-fulfillment.

3. Belief in superiority.

Thinking they’re special or unique.
Believing they should associate only with those they see as worthy.

4. Need for admiration.

Fragile self-esteem.
Frequent self-doubt, self-criticism or emptiness.
Preoccupation with knowing what others think of them.
Fishing for compliments.

5. Entitlement.

Inflated sense of self-worth.
Expecting favorable treatment (to an unreasonable degree).
Anger when people don’t cater to or appease them.

6. Willingness to exploit others.

Consciously or unconsciously using others.
Forming friendships or relationships with people who boost their self-esteem or status.
Deliberately taking advantage of others for selfish reasons.
7. Lack of empathy.

Saying things that might hurt others.
Seeing the feelings, needs or desires of others as a sign of weakness.
Not returning kindness or interest that others show.
8. Frequent envy.

Feeling envious of others, especially when others are successful.
Expecting envy from others.
Belittling or diminishing the achievements of others.
9. Arrogance.

Patronizing behavior.
Behaving in a way that’s snobby or disdainful.
Talking down or acting condescendingly.
People with NPD may also show other behaviors related to the nine criteria, but still different, such as:

Fear of or avoiding vulnerability.
Withdrawing from others to hide feeling vulnerable.
Perfectionism (with or without a fear of failure).
Hypersensitivity to criticism, rejection or failure.
Experiencing severe depression related to rejection or failure.
Reacting with anger (or even rage) when they feel criticized or rejected.
Faking humility to hide their feelings or protect their sense of self-importance.
Avoiding situations where failure is possible or likely, which can limit achievements.
