Former Bush official puts Trump on the couch: a '10 out of 10 narcissist'

Top House Republicans who attended a presentation about China and trade on this week also received a psychological profile of President Trump.

Larry Lindsey, a former economic adviser to president George W. Bush who now runs a consulting business, was invited by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to give an overview of the current U.S.-China trade war.

But Lindsey also came prepared Tuesday with his own research on Trump’s character, telling Republican lawmakers that he had asked two psychologists to evaluate the president from afar. The professionals found that Trump was a “10 out of 10 narcissist,” Lindsey told the Republicans, according to a GOP aide present at the talk.

“That’s what he scored,” Lindsey said, clarifying this wasn’t just his opinion.
