to ask why he never smiles.

His smiles always look more like grimaces or as if he’s contemplating a grift.

I actually never knew this, but that’s super sad. I’d rather be me with my happy childhood and decent mental balance, than a billionaire like Trump.

Nothing.

Nothing makes a narcissist truly happy.

You would have to go back in time and change his parents. Even then, it might not work.

I've always suspected Trump has some flavor of Narcissistic personality disorder.

A Colossus of Trump would make Trump happy. Many of them. At every US Harbor and Bay. And a gargantuan one right in the middle of the Gulf of America!

He never smiles. What's wrong with him? A reporter needs to ask why he never smiles.

IMO the only way he’d be happy is if he started a nuclear war on his deathbed to take the world down with him.

I’m not even joking. It doesn’t appear that he or Miller or Elon or Thiel or JD have EVER been happy.

A malignant narcissist is a severe, unofficial subtype of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) that combines classic grandiosity and need for admiration with antisocial behavior, paranoia, and sadism (deriving pleasure from others' pain). They are highly manipulative, lack empathy, and often use abusive, controlling, or cruel tactics to maintain dominance over others.

Diagnostic Criteria and Core Characteristics
While not a formal diagnosis in the DSM-5, malignant narcissism is recognized by clinicians as a severe pathology involving a "dark" blend of traits:
Narcissistic Traits: Extreme grandiosity, sense of entitlement, and a desperate need for validation.
Antisocial Behavior: Lack of conscience, disregard for rules, and remorseless exploitation of others.
Paranoia: Intense mistrust, believing others are plotting against them.
Sadism: Intentionally causing psychological or physical pain, often taking joy in the humiliation of others.
Rage and Control: Intense, volatile reactions to perceived slights and a compulsive need to dominate.

Signs of a Malignant Narcissist
Gaslighting and Manipulation: Using lies and manipulation to make others doubt their reality.
Smear Campaigns: Destroying reputations through calculated lies to feel superior.
Zero-Sum Mentality: Viewing life as a competition where others must lose for them to win.
Cold-Heartedness: A calculated, unemotional approach to ruining relationships or careers.

Treatment Options
Treatment is challenging because malignant narcissists rarely believe they have a problem and often resist help.

In the Oval Office with Lavrov, there was a genuine smile.

You missed the satire here

Agree. He is born that way. Nothing more. Probably some amplification of the father's defects of personality. The easy, inherited wealth & privilege just fed the fire.

He could have been beloved, by toning down his rhetoric and listening a bit more to what the smart people are saying rather than constantly wanting to pretend he's the smartest guy in the room / listening to what manipulative weasels like Stephen Miller whisper into his ear.

Instead he constantly pokes the fat fingers on his tiny hands into everyones eyes and makes everyone hate him.

Aw now, remember when he "got" the Nobel peace prize? He was smiling like a 5 year old holding up his art class painting.

He has an empty void at his core. Nothing will fill that void and make him happy. He is a broken and pathetic jerk.
