Very nice article on malignant narcissists. And yeah, he hits every point.

There's lots of discussion about narcissism here and this is a very nice layperson's description of what you experience when dealing with one. I know this won't surprise anyone but it reads like TRUMP 101.

1. I didn't realize it was this bad ...

14. Triangulation.

Bringing in the opinion, perspective or suggested threat of another person into the dynamic of an interaction is known as “triangulation.” Often used to validate the toxic person’s abuse while invalidating the victim’s reactions to abuse, triangulation can also work to manufacture love triangles that leave you feeling unhinged and insecure.

2. "Bernie hates Hillary. Bernie knows what a disaster the Democrats are..."

Yeah. Trump loves Bernie. He respects his ideas and platform. He's not twisting his ideas and using them to undercut Hillary and the Dems at all...

3. Classic examples during the debates

The moderators let him run rampant for ratings. Trump can't debate the issues and will try to distract or derail any serious discussion. I hope Hillary's team has come up with a way to fight this.
