The diagnosis of a single-neuron mutant




I have long wondered whether Donald J. Trump suffers from paranoid schizophrenia or malignant narcissism or he owns the best qualities of both.
People with paranoid delusions are unreasonably suspicious of others. This can make it hard for them to hold a job, run errands and even to appoint and cancel several times a meeting with the president of any country word wild. 
On the other hand, the malignant narcissists act as they think they need to act to get what they want. If you confront them with their lies, they simply repeat until true. And they will say anything they want. And it’s proved many time, there is no need to extract examples now.
But the Trump’s pathology is mush more complicated.
And here from it comes:
He is being particularly intelligent or bright or practical or disciplined and never had actually worked at a real job He is not making rational and logical decisions and has no patience or aptitude for reading or absorbing information.
Raised by a racist father who was an absolutely unscrupulous businessman, who would resort to anything and hurt anyone just to make a buck, a father who alternately indulged and pressured him to succeed.
He is showing an extreme need for obeisance.
He was put  in top schools without meriting the placement or having to put in a lick of work at said schools.
Got a lot of media attention over the years and was convinced that he can easily make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, as the saying goes, when it comes to concealing his business failures.
During lots of years he avoided the prosecution for not paying employees, breaking contracts, frauds, suspicious movement of funds and so on.
He had an utter contempt for just about everyone, especially women, as far inferior to him, and that he can adeptly manipulate and deceive them.
He is showing deep and inside  contempt against the poor people, the middle class and anyone of colour or any identifiable ethnic or religious group.
He is not  caring if his supporters are white supremacists or thugs, as long as he receives what he wants.
And last but not least he is not giving a shit what happens to anyone - especially the United States.
As you see the pathology is too complicated to be defined. In my opinion we have lots of physical and neurological signs of both diagnosis, but which is dominating? Or we have a brand new clinical diagnosis?Bad witch. New world. New times. Mutation. Feels alright.
