But it is a really big stretch to mental illness, an actual disease diagnosis.

This conversation reminds me of the one we have had regarding the Trump team doing anything criminal. You were totally focused on the threshold between wrong and criminal. If it wasn't criminal, you wrote it off. I didn't care about that distinction nor do I care about this one. Wrong is wrong and batty is batty. The only place a mental disease formal diagnosis matters is at the health insurance company wrt the decision of whether they pay for treatment.

As for narcissism, both Clinton and Obama had the capacity to recognize when a scenario was "about them" and when it wasn't and were big enough to be duly deferential and take a back seat to the party it was actually about. Trump's inability to do so is striking to the point of violence. No normal person brings up crowd sizes or private servers when the scenario is tribute to war heroes or widows.
