Right. To this day Trump still claims he had more people at his inauguration than Obama did, even though there are tons of photographs and video footage out there that show that to be totally untrue. In fact, only one-third as many showed up to Trump's inauguration compared to Obama's. It's a laugh riot. The man is a child.
Emotionally underdeveloped, yes.

From wikipedia (quickest way to find an adequate summary):

NPD = Narcissitic Personality Disorder

People with NPD will try to gain social status and approval in an attempt to avoid and combat these feelings,[19] often by exaggerating their skills, accomplishments, and their degree of intimacy with people they consider high-status.[20][21][22] Alongside this, they may have difficulty accepting help,[23] vengeful fantasies, a sense of entitlement,[21][24] and they may feign humility. They are more likely to try forms of plastic surgery due to a desire to gain attention and to be seen as beautiful.[2][25][26] A sense of personal superiority may lead them to monopolize conversations, look down on others or to become impatient and disdainful when other persons talk about themselves.[2][12] Drastic shifts in levels of self-esteem can result in a significantly decreased ability to regulate emotions.[27]
Patients with NPD have an impaired ability to recognize facial expressions or mimic emotions, as well as a lower capacity for emotional empathy and emotional intelligence.[28][29] However they do not display a compromised capacity for cognitive empathy or an impaired theory of mind, which are the abilities to understand others' feelings and attribute mental states to oneself or others respectively.[30] They may also have difficulty relating to other's experiences and being emotionally vulnerable.[31] People with NPD are less likely to engage in prosocial behavior.[31] They can still act in selfless ways to improve other's image of them, advance their social status, or if explicitly told to.[32] Despite these characteristics, they are more likely to overestimate their capacity for empathy.[33]
It is common for people with NPD to have difficult relationships.[34][35][36][37] Narcissists may disrespect other's boundaries or idealize and devalue them. They commonly keep people emotionally distant, and project, deny,[38] or split. Narcissists respond with anger and hostility towards rejection,[39][34][40] and can degrade, insult, or blame others who disagree with them.[41][42]
They generally lack self-awareness, and will have a difficult time understanding their own traits and narcissistic tendencies, either due to a belief that NPD characteristics do not apply to them, or due to a refusal to accept or endorse negative characteristics in an attempt to maintain a positive self image.[43][44] Narcissists can have difficulty seeing multiple perspectives on issues and might engage in black and white thinking.[45] Despite this, people with NPD will often feel as they are skilled at accurately assessing others' feelings.

And, as you say, in the home, this can be an avenue for domestic abuse.
Shavixmir said all that. 🙂

In government, it’s a case of both domestic and foreign abuse. He got impeached once for trying to extort information out of Ukraine, and impeached the second time for trying to stay in power illegally.

The Cheeto Benito had insisted on switching the venue to a Fox News cage match complete with the roar of a hand-picked crowd, but Harris said "nope."

So he caved.

So much for "the art of the deal."

He better get some tampons from a Minnesota high school, because he will probably be bleeding out his ass when the debate is done.
He’s failing, and flailing wildly to deny it. It would be a comedy spectacle, if the fate of democracy were not at stake.
