Rate Trump's Psychopathy

You be the judge - I'd give him full marks in the "Definitely Present" category.

My vote is “off the charts.” They’re going to have to create a new category because he exceeds the DSM-5 criteria for this category:

The DSM-5 lists specific criteria for diagnosing Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). These include:

A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of others' rights

At least three of the following:

Failure to conform to social norms

Deceitfulness

Impulsivity or failure to plan ahead

Irritability and aggressiveness

Reckless disregard for safety of self or others

Consistent irresponsibility

Lack of remorse

The individual must be at least 18 years old and have evidence of Conduct Disorder with onset before age 15.

He checks just about every box for sociopathy, psychopathy, antisocial personality disorder, "regular" and malignant narcissism, and probably lots more. There could be a whole DSM just on him.
