Narcissist - A person who is cocky, manipulative, selfish, wants power, and is obsessed with them self.
Sociopath - Person with a personality disorder which creates and anti-social attitude/behavior and a lack of thinking or conscience.
Donald Trump shows characteristics of both a narcissist and a sociopath. The one characteristic of a sociopath he shows is his lack of conscience. He doesn't really think about anything he says or does. He says whatever is on his mind, no matter how wrong or harsh it is, and he deals with the consequences later on. He also creates a very negative attitude about himself in the eye of the public. He gives himself a bad reputation and pushes a lot of people away. Although he characteristics of both, a narcissist fits his personality almost perfectly. He is very cocky an arrogant, and he is not afraid to let the public know this. He always tells people how much many he makes every year and wants the world to know "how great he is."
He is also a very manipulative man. He has a very big influence on the public. He wants everyone to believe that he will cut down on taxes. He says that he will make many more new jobs in America. He also says that with his skills in the business world he will help to chip away at America's giant debt. The uneducated voters who like the sound of these proposals will vote for him. Many of his voters have no idea what they are truly voting for. He has manipulated many people into thinking he will help make this country great again.
Donald Trump is obsessed with power. That is all that he wants, control and power, and he has always wanted that. Over the years with his business he has generated a lot of money, and this has given him a sense of power. Now he wants the most power there is in the United States. He wants to be rich and he also wants to control the country.
Last but not least, Donald Trump is obsessed with himself. He only cares about all of the money he makes and has. He doesn't care about the country very much considering he hasn't paid taxes for the last 18 years. He proposed to build a wall just because he did not like a certain race. He is very opinionated and self centered and all he thinks about is the well being of himself. This has really showed clearly in his presidential campaign.
Overall Donald Trump is pretty 100 percent narcissist. In general he just cares about himself and his well being and tries to manipulate the public by portraying this as a good thing.
