4. Deranged...

..demented, insane, mad, disturbed, unhinged, unstable, psychopathic...I keep looking for different adjectives but haven't found one that is fully adequate. I stumbled onto one recently that is more fitting; "malignant narcissism", which includes all the usual 'narcissism' components with the addition of sadism, paranoia and sociopathy.

“Trump suffers from malignant narcissism, a diagnosis [that is] far more toxic and dangerous than mere narcissistic personality disorder because it combines narcissism with three other severely pathological components: paranoia, sociopathy, and sadism. When combined, this perfect storm of psychopathology defines the ‘quintessence of evil,’ according to Fromm, the closest thing psychiatry has to describing a true human monster.”
