Will an egomaniac become POTUS?
Do you recognize an egomaniac among any of the four presidential candidates?
An egomaniac is defined as someone suffering from an obsessive preoccupation with self, someone who follows his/her own ungoverned impulses and who is possessed by delusions of personal greatness.
So, do you see some or most of the following traits, actions, and behaviors in any of the four people currently running for president?
Prone to exaggeration and ridicule of others
Cuts people off and talks loudly to dominate discussion and to intimidate
Ostentatious shows of wealth and power
Thinks his/her stories are always better than anyone else’s.
Loves to make grand entrances.
Brags about doing things rather than just doing them quietly
Makes a grand show of generosity, but tries to do so on the cheap
Places huge importance on having attractive significant others
Begins almost every sentence with “I”
Fixates on how perceived by others, what people say about them
Often refers to self in the third person
Brags about how much money they make
Speaks about self in superlatives, like “I’m the smartest. I’m the richest.” etc.
Constantly blames others and never accepts personal blame.
Knows everything about everything.
Always right, never wrong, will not accept criticism.
Very judgmental
Knows exactly what’s wrong with you, the world and everyone else
Hypersensitive
Hates losing
Has difficulty paying attention and focusing
Uses manipulative division tactics in order to conquer
Anyone possessing more than a few of the foregoing traits and behaviors is not likely to be the best person to unite an increasingly divided nation or to forge important partnerships with other nations.
The best national leaders are well grounded, humble, intelligent and socially adept. Which of the four best demonstrate those attributes?
