[FRIAM] [[Narcissism Again]again]

[Frank Wimberly]

   - Anti-social behavior.  Trump University, grabbing "women".
   - Sadism. Mocking disabled person
   - Aggressiveness. Kicking people out of his rallies.
   - Paranoia. The press is against me.
   - Grandiosity. I will be the greatest...Ever.
   - Entitled. Having affairs during three marriages.
   - Regressed.  Tantrums.
   - Manipulative. Using distractions.
   - Destructive.  Dismantling ACA.
   - Egocentric.  I know more than the generals.
   - Use of projection.  Ted Cruz and Hillary are liars.
   - Lack of conscience. Stiffing contractors.
   - Narcissistic.  All of the above.  I am the only one who can solve
   these problems.

Examples by me.
