Has Trump actually shown any symptoms?

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:

  • Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
  • Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
  • Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
  • Exaggerate achievements and talents
  • Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
  • Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
  • Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
  • Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
  • Take advantage of others to get what they want
  • Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
  • Be envious of others and believe others envy them
  • Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
  • Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office

At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:

  • Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
  • Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
  • React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
  • Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
  • Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
  • Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
  • Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

Alpha male guys like Trump don't pretend to be ill. They brag about how they're never ill and it's only weak people who experience normal human illnesses. Trump is many things but he's not nearly sleekit enough to make himself look weak in order to... d'ye know, I'm not even sure what. His upside to this doesn't beat his downside. For half the remaining campaign he's going to be invisible just when he needs to by hugely active in order to turn round a huge poll deficit. 

Best outcome is he needs a ventilator and ends up with long Covid, remaining ill through to the election, but not so ill that he has to drop out of the race.

Biden needs to get filmed jogging, pausing to express his sympathies to camera before carrying on.

Oh but they do.  Man flu is a uniquely alpha male trait. They demand attention.  
 

But you may be on to something - he might use this to avoid the ignominy of defeat.  
 

He’s an absolute coward.

It would be awful if his heart pops from taking hydroxychloroquine like sweeties. 

That’s going to be the upshot of this.  If he survives - fake illness or real - it’s going to be a pretendy drug what done it.

Far be it from me to suggest anything salacious, but can it be a coincidence that the separate bedrooms couple Donald and Melania both seem to have caught it from the extremely attractive Hope Hicks?
