A lot of the women claimed to be narcissists in this thread are likely just deeply insecure and dependent on the positive attention they get via fame to feed their insecurity. That is NOT narcissism. It’s a problem, but would not qualify as NPD. Narcissists have low self-esteem but go to great lengths to conceal that fact from themselves and others, to the point that they will tear down others rather than admit any weakness or vulnerability. An actress who seems a little needy does not qualify— who is she destroying?
Trump is almost certainly a narcissist and is a perfect example of what I was just discussing. On some level he knows that he is incompetent, but his obvious fear of that fact leads to insane self aggrandizement (“I have the best words” “I am the least racist person” etc.). His kids don’t love him in a normal way and their relationships don’t reflect healthy parent-child dynamics. There is clearly codependency and enmeshment going on, and as his kids self identify with him, they become his fiercest defenders, because you admit his flaws would be to admit their own. It is a truly disturbing dynamic and there is nothing admirable about his relationship with his kids, some of whom obviously have their own narcissistic tendencies (both Don Jr. and Ivanka reportedly believe they, too, are destined for high office). Also, Jared Kushner is right there and maybe actually be the worst of all of them.
I wish we could feed Tiffany truth serum and then get her to do a tell-all interview.
