Everyone knows that Donald Trump is, by far, the most narcissistic President in American history.
There is no other President who “loves himself” to the extent that Trump does.
But narcissism is not uncommon among political leaders, and major personalities past and present in the arts, business, and sports.
Other than Trump, what other Presidents stand out for their narcissism?
This author’s judgment is that Lyndon B. Johnson has lost the title of most narcissistic President to Trump, but there is no doubt of his high level of that trait.
Following LBJ, the order would seem to this author to be as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt
Andrew Jackson
Franklin D. Roosevelt
John F. Kennedy
Richard Nixon
Bill Clinton
Woodrow Wilson
Andrew Johnson
Ronald Reagan
I welcome debate and discussion on this blog entry!
What is the attraction of voters to these men? All elected. The lack of empathy should not make a narcissist popular. Seems more like the trait of a monarch then a duly elected president.
