Narcissism
Before the advent of Donald Trump, the term “narcissism” was used very seldom in America; it normally came up only in the context of the Greek myth in which a young man was so taken by his own image, reflecting in a pond, that he eventually fell into the water and drowned.
Now it’s important for us all to have some understanding of this psychopathological condition, insofar as it explains and predicts the behavior of a man who represents great danger to our nation, and, by extension, the world.
