Oh, Cathy! Stalin, Hitler, Jim Jones, and now Trump. The NPD diagnosis, and alarmingly, the prognosis, fits to a "T." Listening to Michael Cohen on the news yesterday confirms it:

"Costa asked, 'Trump keeps projecting confidence, but you sense fear?'

'Oh, yes. Not fear; he's petrified."

"As the window of power begins to fade and family and friends begin to isolate the narcissist, many narcissists panic emotionally and this fuels their desire to try and re-assert control over what they feel they have lost. This desire to re-assert control usually leads to increasing attempts to harm family and friends who threaten to leave the narcissist. The fear of loss of power and the failed attempts to re-assert control can sometimes lead the narcissist to create a permanent solution to the rapid implosion of their life. Many times this permanent solution takes the shape of a murder-suicide or mass-murder event."
