There’s many leaders through history who are assumed to have NPD, including business leaders. It’s a “disability” that allows for one to have no issue manipulating others. It can be very beneficial if you don’t care about personal relations and only care about gaining power and influence.
Power and influence within society ARE personal relations. People with NPD are socially disabled, they can’t compete with neurotypicals on an even playing field when it comes to the sorts of skills that win elections. There’s no such thing as a disability that makes people better at socialising, that’s a myth. Doctors diagnose problems, they don’t diagnose “being great at stuff”.
