George Will’s excellent commentary (“Trump continues to prove he’s unfit to lead,” May 5 in the Sun) brought back to mind an article written by Drs. Mehmet Oz and Mike Roizen, in which a reader asked why being narcissistic is deemed such a bad trait.
They reported: “According to the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, the professional’s go-to reference book for diagnosing mental illnesses, someone with a narcissistic personality disorder, sees him or herself as exceptional; requires the approval of others; has superficial relationships that only exist to serve self-esteem; and exhibits pathological personality traits of antagonism and feelings of grandiosity, entitlements and self-centeredness.
“In addition, the previous version of the DSM mentioned that someone with NPD can be preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success and power, while exaggerating his or her achievements and talent.”
In my humble opinion, the aforementioned perfectly illustrates the personality of Donald Trump.
