Does Donald Trump exhibit the dark triad of personality disorders?

What is the Dark Triad?
This popular term was coined in 2002 by Paulhus and Williams. Dark Triad refers to three unusually negative personality traits – narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. The latter two share more traits with each other than with narcissists. Generally, the term refers to individuals with “subclinical” symptoms, meaning that they may not necessarily fully have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) or anti-social personality disorder (ASPD). Machiavellianism arose out of Machiavelli’s philosophy and is not a mental health disorder.

Narcissism is characterized by the pursuit of ego gratification, vanity, a sense of superiority, grandiosity, dominance, and entitlement.
Machiavellianism is marked by manipulation – a calculating, duplicitous, and amoral personality, focused on self-interest and personal gain.
Psychopathy is distinguished by callousness, impulsivity, and enduring antisocial and bold behaviour.

So we can see a direct correlation between all three traits and D. Trump, indeed, many psychologists have stated their belief that should Trump take a Triad test his score would be amongst the highest taken.

I'm sure we can see many with similar traits, but can they see them themselves?

confused I can't see why you'd write a blog about the mental health of an American golf course owner, is it that you hate golf or maybe you think Biden is making such a hash of it there'll be an election soon dunno laugh
Someone brought up the topic of dark triad and he failed to see the irony.
So I just wondered who else had similar traits.
Biden is an old fool, but sadly will be president until the next election.
360 million choices and they choose Trump/Biden, says a lot about the American electoratedoh
He's rather fond of himself, no doubt. Athletes will tell you though, you have to be confident to be successful. beer
Have you never heard the story of the tortoise and the hare?

One needn't have been a rabid Libertarian to've at least Considered the Only candidate on the ballot in All 50 Stares against whom were No Séxual Assault Allegations ....

No, he doesn't , but Biden definitely does.
Where would the tyranny of the judiciary be without the dark triad?

Anybody of good conscience would not see themselves as having the right to judge things they know nothing about. But this is precisely what the surveillance state does. All that spying power will make for more callous and superficial judges judging from a position of complete ignorance.
There's a very important difference between convicting somebody for burgling a shop and convicting somebody for having a criminal thought six years ago. You need to convict people in spite of reasonable doubt and here is where the dark triad will pick up the slack.
In what way does Biden show signs of the dark triad? I think he is too pathetic to even have an ego let alone Machiavellerism lol
And obviously they need the result that the media wants. Derek Chauvin gets 22 years because its what the media wanted, and it's also what all the other fascist cops and judges want. A sacrificial lamb.
And that really is how we end up like China. The courts, the media and the police rolled into one big self-serving organisation with a definite political leadership.
CC, the UK government is as far from the CCP as possible. I cannot see any connection between CCP rules and UK rules.
Bar a few local publications all media in China is controlled by the CCP, in the UK we have left/right and centre media none are directly under the control of the conservative government.

Anyone that is so obsessed with president Trump definitely has a mental problem. You really should seek help.
