See this article. It asks: "If elected president would Donald Trump act on the behalf of the will of
the people, or would he behave more like a dictator—silencing any
dissenting voices, perpetually refusing to compromise, and being
oppressive to certain groups?"
While not all narcissists are necessarily bad people, and some not at all, putting them in such delicate positions of virtually unlimited power can make for very dangerous outcomes like war. Just observing how Trump has changed in the course of his candidacy shows how the mere prospect has turned him to blatant bigot and xenophobe. Conclusion:
"The position of President of the United States is one that requires
great empathy, a certain amount of humility, the ability to preserve
relationships, and a willingness to establish new ones. These are all
qualities that the narcissist lacks, and with their absence comes
danger. Do we really want to put all Americans, and even the entire
world, at great risk by giving a narcissist the nuclear code? Donald
Trump is very much like Gollum from Lord of the Rings, and the
presidency is his 'one ring to rule them all.' In this case we do not
have the option of destroying the ring. The best we can strive for is
keeping it out of the possession of those who cannot resist abusing its
power."
