I do think, however, that the Trump reference needs a bit of tweaking: I pose that Trump's self absorption (pathological narcissism, if you will - to sojourn into the clinical) is a mere symptom of his real (ahem) primary characteristic. He is a textbook sociopath - right out of any version of the DSMs. This makes him extraordinarily dangerous and we must do anything possible to not allow his candidacy to devolve into the Presidency of the good old USofA. Thanks again, Deric. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17497202097203383294noreply@blogger.com
