In reply to the discussion: I'm firmly convinced that the orange asshole is a psychopath [View all]Warpy
(111,140 posts)31. Malignant narcissism has a lot of overlap with psychopathic or sociopathic personalities
but I'd definitely keep him in the former group.
Sociopaths and psychopaths tend to operate under the radar. He's got to be the center of attention at all times, watch his body language when the spotlight is elsewhere. Either he looks like somebody let the air out of him or he dances around and pinwheels his arms, anything to get some attention, depending on the situation.
He's just as dangerous as a sociopath or psychopath, maybe more so. He is not going to respond well to being out of power. My guess says he's going to spend his time and his offsprings' inheritance trying to get back at everybody he thinks has deprived him of his god given spotlight and position as king of the world.
