He enjoys inflicting pain and he clearly exhibits fear tendencies. He responds poorly to stress. He would flunk a lie detector test, probably even if he could somehow be convinced to not lie.

The pathological liars who pass them are able to control their emotional response. Trump throws temper tantrums.
