41. Malignant narcissism of the paranoid sociopathic
Thu Dec 17, 2020, 01:58 AM

type is how a psychologist friend of mine described him. She said psychopathy and sociopathy are highly related as well.

The malignancy will want revenge. I suspect that he won't do anything that would prevent him from exacting revenge upon his many enemies.

Of course, it's a guess, but I don't see him offing himself or burning down the White House. He's highly motivated to survive so he can pay them all back, and doesn't really believe he can't beat the rap (after all, he always has before).
