1. Trump is much worse than a narcissist.

He is a vicious, ruthless psychopath.

2. This Professor said people can be both

I've watched many of his lectures. Brilliant man.
I think I remember hearing that Malignant is basically a Psychopath

3. Yes of course Trump is both a narcissist and sociopath.

FYI: There is no such diagnosis as malignant narcissism.

So it is incorrect and downplays the severe sociopath diagnosis.

The correct thing to do is to give a patient all the correct diagnoses.

Trump is a narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, drug addict with dementia.

Trump is quite dangerous.

4. He is THE authority - I read 'Malignant Self Love' 15 years ago.......

…..it changed my world. It is a long journey to really understand narcissism, but once you finally do the world makes much more sense. He was my starting point on that journey. Since then I have found other mental health experts to read and follow - but he was the one that opened my eyes. I watch him quite often.

5. I never realized what a deeply terrible thing

N.P.D was until my best friend of 30+ years revealed himself to me via a psychotic breakdown.Where I swear I saw his face Transform into a demon Toddler for a split second (I know it sounds nuts). Research of what I witnessed led me to this man. I now realize that My Father, My grandmother (His mom), my Oldest Sister are all Narcissist. Knowing the patterns and the condition makes the world make so much more sense.

6. Sounds a similar story to mine with the family.

But I started figuring it out with my ex - we’d been together over 30 years at that point.

7. It's crazy how they often all use the same playbook.

Same Pattern regardless of sex or relationship.
More Toddler than Adult, more parasite than human.
