He's just an asshole...don't make it more than it is.
I have to disagree. I think part of it being pathological is an INABILITY to stop the behavior.
For example, Trump continues to state that crime rates are the highest they've been in 42 years (which was debunked to his face during the campaign) even when the conservative media in the person of Bill O'Reilly just called him on it again to his face. He also just stated that ANY polls that are unfavorable must be lies! It's clear his own advisers can't stop him from doing these kind of things. He simply believes that whatever he thinks is true, must be true, by the fact that he, Donald Trump, the greatest human ever, believes it. If I look at the world through the eyes of a pathological narcissist like Trump, strange, arguably self destructive behavior as above, actually makes sense if you see what I mean.
I'm a very skeptical person by nature and I'm not floating this hypothesis casually. I can even understand anyone's reservations about labeling Trump in this way, so I can see why this is not discussed at all in the media. It probably shouldn't be. But I'm not the media
However, I'm very serious when I say this should be of huge concern because I can envision any number of scenarios where this type of pathology in a President could have disastrous results. So far it's been been harmless (unless you count the harm to truthfulness) but it may not stay that way.
Hope I'm wrong.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
