Some amusing photos of Adolph Trump's illustrious doctor.

I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover. But I'm making an exception this time. This doctor has crazy eyes.

This is the guy who was willing to sign a letter saying that he could attest to the fact that, if elected, Adolph would be the healthiest President in history. (Supposedly Adolph has no health problems but for some reason he's taking a drug only given for high cholesterol.)

Interestingly, the letter was addressed "To Whom My Concern."
Not "To Whom it May Concern."
Interesting slip.

It is also interesting that this physician said he had been Trump's personal doctor since 1980. And yet Trump referred to him by his father's first name. If this guy has been his doctor for 35 years, why is Trump getting him mixed up with the father who died 5 years ago at the age of 93? Maybe Trump is having some memory issues?

"yeah, but he's kidding, right?"

Wrong. Trump absolutely believes in all his boasts. It's what makes his degree of narcissism so pathological.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:
Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
Requires excessive admiration
Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes


Pretty much nails it.

But I saw an article recently where two of them spoke for attribution. One of them said he could use youtubes of Trump now in his classes; that would be better than hiring actors to demonstrate the narcissistic behaviors.
