(58,785 posts)They're very real and apparently almost impossible to treat effectively, but they are not considered an illness. You'll have crossed paths with a number of people with various degrees and types of personality disorder. Unfortunately, they're far from rare but are only diagnosed as a disorder when the traits are so strong that they seriously negatively affect a person's ability to function in the world.
I think a cluster B personality disorder would explain just about everything.

(60,010 posts)then watches tv, esp. the news, apparently not realizing that the tv news has been known to most people via the internet, for hours.
It is also reported that he does not like to be alone, and orders his aides to spend the off duty hours with him,
which really means, i suspect, to have someone to listen to his constant babbling.
Reportedly he has not been sleeping well, either. Says he misses his "home" at the Tower and/or MarLego.
to comfort himself, he eats multiple servings of junk food at night.
which explains the decidedly portly look the past month.

(29,149 posts)where there is a six-year-old boy who has the power to change/destroy the world with his mind. Trump's mind isn't that powerful, of course, but the childish grip on power coupled with the childish lack of impulse control makes it seem similar enough.

(16,876 posts)Trump is the type of narcissistic sociopath that would lash out against those he feels aren't sufficiently bending to his authority! Wait, that's exactly what he's doing!!!
