    I mean… is extreme malignant narcissism considered neurotypical?

    I kind of hope not.

    He oozes wealth privilege (even if he doesn’t have much left). Allows him to behave however he pleases.

      He doesn’t have extreme narcissism. That’s a social disability. Does Trump look like his social faculties are impaired to you? His cognitive faculties are because of his dementia, but he’s as charismatic as anyone, much as I hate to admit it. He’s neurotypical.

        A “social disability”? Is that from the DSM-5? I’ll save you a quick Google: no. Even if it was, so what?

        It’s not a one or the other thing… There is zero chance of you ever convincing me that Donald Trump is not a narcissist. Maybe you’re too young to remember the 90s, but this man has always been this way and his extreme, malignant narcissism has been a common theme for 40+ years.

        I have never, once in my life, heard/saw Trump speak and thought, “this man has charisma.” Sorry, just no. He just says the things the lowest common denominator wants to hear. If your foolish enough to confuse that with genuine charisma then I don’t know what to say. Get out of the house more often.

          Trump says what the lowest common denominator wants to hear. The lowest common denominator doesn’t want to hear someone being visibly neurodivergent. Trump talks like a neurotypical. Like a privileged, white, racist asshole. He does not look like a hard working person who overcame a disability. Now stop complimenting him and realise he’s ordinary filth.
