Traits include:
  • High IQ: High functioning sociopaths often have a higher IQ than other sociopaths or people without personality disorders. This helps them plan, manipulate, and exploit others.
  • Lack of empathy: Difficulty in empathizing with others or understanding the emotional consequences of their actions.
  • Narcissism: They often have strong self-love and grandiose self-image. This occurs because of low esteem and delusional beliefs. (Bingo!)
  • Charming: Although most sociopaths lack empathy, they are capable of mimicking and manipulating emotions to appear charming and normal.
  • Secretive: A sociopath doesn't feel the need to share intimate details with others unless it is to manipulate.
  • Sexually deviant: Since they lack guilt, remorse, and emotional attachments, sociopaths tend to have affairs and engage in the questionable sexual activity. (Ivanka??? 😱 )
  • Sensitive to criticism: Despite their lack of empathy, sociopaths desire the approval of others. They feel entitled to admiration and are quick to anger when criticized. (He can dish it out but cant take it)
  • Impulsive behavior: Sociopaths often live in the moment and will do what they feel is needed to reach their immediate goals.
  • Compulsive lying: Disregarding the truth to make themselves look better or get what they want. (Yes!)
  • Needing constant stimulation

I wouldn't favour that diagnosis, myself. It probably covers most people at the top of politics and business.

With Trump I still think his narcissism is unusually close to the surface and distinctive. I also wouldn't say he had any charm whatsoever. Hell, Bill Clinton fits better, if the accounts of some of his accusers are accurate. Charming but with a hidden callousness.

Trrump has more of the narcissistic traits than seems usual even for those of his kind. Hence NPD. But what's the point in such analysis, anyway?
 
The main omission is the "high IQ" part. Trump mainly takes advantage of his wealth and illusion of competency to exploit others.

Yet Trump remains the greatest president of the 21st century with the best economy in 250 years.

Go figure.

He's also a Reptilian! If you are going to make patently false and incredible claims so can I. It may be your opinion that Trump is a political demigod, however best economy in US history? No. Wage growth the highest ever! No. Unemployment? That's very good. Highest GDP ever? Hardly.

Facts aren't backing your claim, but did that really matter? I'm thinking not. At least you didn't say the greatest President ever but he's among the best in attacking the rule of law and the Constitution and the best at corrupting of the Office.

I dont think anyone can honestly deny this is the best economy ever. Perhaps its not to your liking, but it is rockin! Americans love this economy and they love Trump as president. Sure, you've got haters in the media and certain socialist radicals in the democratic party, but thats the swamp for you!

As far as attacking the rule of law, Democrats have abused every possible law to attack Trump. Requesting tax returns and financials to harass and harangue one of the most honest men to hold office in a long time. Yet these same Democrats dont give two cares about the Clinton scandals. Ironic isnt it?

You suck at trolling.

I'm increasingly convinced you're a long-game parody account, because not even most Trump sycophants would call him "one of the most honest" Presidents (among other false claims).

List the laws Democrats have abused to attack Trump and how they are abusing them.

I actually think Felix is pretty good at trolling this section of the forum. He’s been at it for years and many (most?) people still don’t realize that he’s not for real. He even manages to get genuine idiots to agree with him pretty often. I respect the long game
 
The OP posits a multilayered question. Allow me to break it down:

Is Trump high? Possibly. That would explain a lot.

Is Trump functioning? Barely!

Is Trump a psychopath? Indubitably!
