I’ve only know one narcissist for a long time. He was constantly ‘irritated’ by others no matter what they said or did. He verbally abused his wife and kids…and down to the dog.
I could now see his irritation was anger. Thought too much of himself to use drugs or alcohol…kept himself in pretty good shape or so it seemed.
47 years old massive heart attack seemingly out of nowhere. Heart just plain blew up.

Why has he (trump) lived this long?

Normal people find hate corrosive. Sociopaths seem to find it invigorating. tanyev Oct 16 #4
