    Reading an article with twelve key traits people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder does not give you the sapiential authority to diagnose Donald Trump as possessing it. In addition, if he does possess it, what changes? Where is the value that you wish to add with your diagnosis?

    Trump just announced over Twitter that he'll be "leaving his businesses in total". https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump - so vaggar, that should take the conflict of interest angle off the table.

    The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association lists 12 criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder:
    1. Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance.
    2. Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it.
    3. Exaggerating your achievements and talents.
    4. Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate.
    5. Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people.
    6. Requiring constant admiration.
    7. Having a sense of entitlement.
    8. Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations.
    9. Taking advantage of others to get what you want.
    10. Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others.
    11. Being envious of others and believing others envy you.
    12. Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner.

    Knowing all I know about this man, I'm guessing that he'll have some damn good lawyers produce documents and ideas that will give him advisory capacity in the businesses he'd still like to manage, will have profits funnelled into his family's pockets, and will legally sever ties between Trump and his organizations in the eyes of the Constitution. Ultimately, legal separation between himself and his companies is all that matters. The People already spoke with their votes that they don't see the potential for conflict of interest as a deal breaker.

    "In exchange for keeping the factory running in Indianapolis, Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence are expected to reiterate their campaign pledges to be friendlier to businesses by easing regulations and overhauling the corporate tax code, according to a spokeswoman for Mr. Trump."

    Great, so now I have to subsidize these jerks? What ever have happened to boot straps and personal responsibility? Can't they turn a profit without special favors? Sounds like corporate handouts to me. Don't blame me when the price of air conditioners soars.

    Yep, give him credit. He did something he campaigned on. Let's not overlook how the deal was cut though. That should matter even more and what it means down the road.
    They were originally going to move 2000 jobs. They're still going to move over 1000 jobs and they've got a massive tax break. State tax breaks in Indiana, so Pence could have done this at any time.

    More tax breaks and companies will only lay off half it's employees? That's not how economic growth works.

    He's not leaving his businesses. He's not liquidating his businesses and putting the money in a blind trust. There will always be a conflict of interest as long g as he has his name on buildings and businesses.

    My guess would be Trump. Indiana is a huge red state and middle class people tend to vote against their own self interests.

    Trump clearly is a narcissist. To try and deny it makes the person look like they're just trying to avoid the reality of what we're dealing with.

    DJT: "I will be holding a news conference in NYC w/ my children on Dec 15 to discuss the fact I will be leaving my great business to fully focus on running the country to MAGA! While not mandated to do this under the law, I feel it is important to have no conflict of interests w/ my businesses."

    Hence, legal documents are being crafted which take me completely out of business operations. The Presidency is a far more important task!

    I'm trying to think of a recent presidential that would not rate pretty high on the narcicism scale...anyone that tries to deny this is out of touch with reality and may want to be tested for schizophrenia.

    But yet Hillary was evil because of pay to play....people only care about what they want when it serves their purpose or advances their agenda.

    Trump says his lawyers are "crafting" documents that would "give" his businesses to his kids. Turning ownership over to his children DO NOT eliminate the conflicts of interest as long as his name is still on on of these buildings.
