Red flag about Donald Trump's candidacy

Although Donald Trump seems incapable of humility, compassion or introspection, it is obvious that he is not entirely responsible for his actions. The man is unfortunately afflicted by “Narcissistic Personality Disorder”. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (ICD-10 code F60.81) is a fairly common mental illness. NPD is very resistant to any treatment, since those who are affected do not believe that there is anything wrong with them.

According to the website www.icd10data.com which codes for all billable medical diagnoses, NPD is “a disorder characterized by an enduring pattern of grandiose beliefs and arrogant behavior together with an overwhelming need for admiration and a lack of empathy for (and even exploitation of) others. (It is) characterized by excessive self-love, egocentrism, grandiosity, exhibitionism, excessive needs for attention, and sensitivity to criticism.” Sound familiar?

Some of the most notorious leaders in history have suffered the same problem, including men who were largely responsible for starting World War II. Thomas Jefferson said “The government you elect is the government you deserve”. Donald Trump wants to gain control of our entire country. George Satayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” History has taught us that men with NPD should not be given that control. I guess we will find out….again.
