The Mask of Sanity -- Psychopath-in-Chief?

From The American Thinker Blog:

Does this sound like someone we all know?

“Poverty of emotional feelings, lack of remorse or shame, superficial charm, pathological lying, egocentricity, a lack of insight, absence of nervousness, an inability to love, impulsive antisocial acts, failure to learn from experience.”

It’s a summary (by Richard Lynn) of the first ten of sixteen behavioral traits of the psychopathic personality from the classic work on the subject, Hervey Cleckley’s The Mask of Sanity. The book will be seventy-five years old next year.

It’s given to few individuals to describe a new human type. Cleckley did it twice. With Corbett Thigpen, he published Three Faces of Eve in 1957. The movie version released later that year launched Joanne Woodward’s career and familiarized Americans with what came later to be called dissociative identity disorder.

The narcissist-in-chief is not a psychopath, but a sociopath. Becuase everything has always been about him. I suspect, that he has always gotten a pass his entire life because of his speaking ability, similar to the way a star athlete gets a pass. He has never had to perform any work and the one time he had to, writing his biography, he turned to Bill Ayers for help.
