(1/3) Donald Trump is a Malignant Narcissist. It's gotten worse, and will continue to get worse. The syndrome includes: Narcissistic Personality Disorder; Sociopathy; Paranoia; Sadism. If challenged, he instinctively doubles down, even when his "facts" are demonstrably false.
(2/3) A malignant narcissist is grandiose, with an inflated sense of accomplishment, an excessive need for admiration; he is boastful, hypersensitive to criticism, arrogant, and envious. He is always ready to raise hostility levels, and uses deceit and manipulation.
(3/3) He transgresses social norms, lacks moral conscience, is preoccupied with perceived disloyalty, bears grudges, is quick to blame others, and is prone to conspiracy theories. He is also dehumanizing to people he perceives as weak, capable of taking glee in their misfortune.
