    And he is successful. Failure only shows he is a successful businessman as failure is often the outcome of trying.

    He's a decent real estate developer, but he's horrible at anything that is not real estate.

    All one needs to do is to compare what he started with and his personal wealth now. In addition, check out how many families he feed by paying salaries?

    If this is not an accomplishment, I dunno what is. Also, pleas check out how many of the accomplished businesspeople have filed for bancrupcy at one point or another.

    Bankruptcy is a business tool.

    Well, that certainly fits Obama.

    Check out what he says. He is a narcissist, but it doesn't always mean something bad like it does with Obama. As long as he surrounds himself with intelligent people and listens to them, he should be ok.

    George Simon forgot about Obama, he didn't mention him.

    The Mayo Clinic uses Barack Obama in their studies of "narcissistic personality disorder."

    He could have invested his money in the stock market and he would have pretty much the same net worth.

    None of those businesses declared bankruptcy and then rebounded. They collapsed.

    Joe Sixpack can take $75mln and turn them into what? $3, 4 bln? I'd like to meet him and hire him as my personal financial advisor.

    Irrelevant. These tools are there to be used. Why blame Trump for something everyone else does?

    Four, only one collapsed with the collapse of Atlantic city. The others were reorganized and sold. People kept their jobs.

    I was wrong. He would actually have more money if he had retired and invested in the stock market.

    The casinos aren't the only thing he's ever failed at.

    "Well saying that something is 'textbook something' is just saying that it's a classic case of it, a perfect example of it that is so classic it could be used in a textbook to teach students about it, so, in this case, they're saying that that particular case of narcissism is a classic, perfect case of narcissism, that's all.

    "Tony Stark is described in 'Iron Man 2' as a textbook narcissist, which means he is a perfect example of this description, which describes a person who exhibits excessive love or admiration of themselves.

    "Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. I also happen to be an amazing superhero by the name of Iron Man (maybe you've heard of me). What more could you possibly want from me?"

    Those you mention don't have much in the way of empathy, but they haven't displayed Trump's thin skin or his proclivity to shoot from the lip:
    "But a lack of empathy is just one part of narcissistic personality disorder. Just beneath the surface layer of overwhelming arrogance lies a delicate self-esteem that is easily injured by any form of criticism.

    "We have all seen Trump unjustifiably lash out at a number of people with harsh and often extremely odd personal attacks.

    "When he thought he had been treated unfairly by Fox News host and Republican debate moderator Megyn Kelly, he responded by calling her a “bimbo” and later saying that she had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

    "In response to the strange, misogynistic comments Kelly said that she “may have overestimated his anger management skills.” If the news host would have pegged him as a bona fide narcissist from the beginning she might have expected such shamelessly flagrant behavior."

    Is Trump your super hero?

    Your confusing me here....

    You start a thread which would lead one to believe that "possibly" you don't like Donald Trump (it's ok, neither do I) by pointing out (quite astutely I might add) that usually egomaniacs tend not to make good leaders.

    Then further down the thread you unleash this insult (of the likes I've never seen before) against the president.

    Either you hate everybody equally (which is cool) or you're amazingly complicated.....

    Which one is it? (just curious)

    "Top psychologists" wouldn't attempt to diagnose a person by watching videos of him giving speeches. What absurdity.

    Anyway, if they wish to diagnose Trump, maybe they can clue us in about Obama's sociopathic crocodile tears.

    Obama's a little better in the anger management department, no?

    Agreed. AND just like the world's #1 narcissist of all time who had a similarly Manhattan-sized ego who said something like "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.....it's all about me, me, ME, look at ME, suck up to ME or I'll see that you get eternal torture for not sucking up to ME, ME, ME!!!!" Or something like that. Drugs are a bad bad thing.

    However, will Trump see that all the people that simply don't think like him get tortured, forever? Nah, probably not, so Trump is less of a narcissist than the uber-narcissist I mentioned above.

    Why do people follow narcissists like Trump, Muammar Gaddafi, Napoleon Bonaparte, Saddam Hussein, and the guy I mentioned from Nazareth? Fear, I argue. They are fearful people, pure and simple. Let go of that fear.

    Oh God, yet another libbie attempt to trash Trump. Very wearysome. Reminds me of when Reagan was running and the libbies were wetting their panties. Same liberal schtick, different times.

    Obama was crying because he knows that in a few short months he won't be able to control us anymore.

    At least Reagan held political office before running for the position of leader of the free world.

    Sarah Palin is a narcissist who feeds off attention. We won't be rid of her until she runs out of money for facelifts. She has an extremely high opinion of herself. One that is not merited in any way.
