1. I'm not a psychologist, but Trump matches all the symptoms.

Toss in mentally lazy and some other characteristics that make him even worse.

Try a search for differences between psychopathy and narcissistic personality disorder if you've the time and the inclination. There's a lot of overlap and only a few differences.

4. How about thinking that only he and god are equal

And sometimes he's not sure about god.

6. The Presidential Pretender -- how about that title?

Sounds about right to me. He doesn't truly function as we are used to seeing Presidents conduct themselves. We also are not use to the repeated base language being flung out into the audience. Lacks dignity and the ability to feel compassion for those who most need it.

7. We should remember that narcissistic personality disorder

is a serious mental illness, characterized by delusions. This jerk has his fingers on the nuclear button.
