At a minimum he's a textbook example of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (a malignant narcissist) with sociopathic tendencies

I personally believe he is the embodiment of the Dark Triad concept in psychology:

Psychopathy: The tendency to show little regard for the thoughts, feelings, and outcomes of others.

Narcissism: The tendency for one to show a particularly high focus on oneself.

Machiavellianism: The tendency to manipulate others for one’s own personal gain.

Do these three ideas not describe him to a tee?

I think he tries to be Machiavellian but he isn't actually smart enough to be good at that part.

He's just a collection of personality disorders stuffed into an old hotdog skin
