very well regarded ones whose reputations can hold up under the unusual circumstance of diagnosing him by viewing many months of public behaviors and not actually meeting with him for orthodox analysis.

I have no problem reporting these expert analyses of a textbook case of cluster B personality disorder traits with a narcissism dominance.

I have not read that several have diagnosed traits that would correlate with more dangerous "malignant" narcissism, which is not a formal diagnostic term anyway, so I don't ascribe that or psychopathy to him. Frankly, any clinical narcissist anywhere near elective office is dangerous.
