One thing that has been recognized by all the different cultures throughout time is the idea of multiple worlds, multiple spheres
Their is the Outer World, the outer heavenly body and then their are individuals that move around in this space. These individuals are so complex you might as well call them their own internal world, their own internal sphere.
Well nothing in time is constant, things change, worlds change, spheres change when one sphere interacts and bumps into another sphere. Change is not the enemy it is just the nature of life, trying to stop change is to not understand life.
Well part of human development is recognizing this basic fact of the universe. It is to understand that you are separate from the universe and that is okay, and that the universe is not the enemy.
Lock two toddlers into a room and they can't interact in the same way as children, teens, and adults for they are not at that stage of brain development, and they do not have the culture, the history of years of experience that they will some day obtain.
Two toddlers given enough toys often can interact and play in peace. This is because the children operate via a principle called Parallel Play
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_play
They can't operate in a cooperative fashion.
They can't operate in an allied fashion.
They can't even operate as two separate individuals who are not friends, allies, but merely just associating the other person as legitimate and WITH RESPECT.
They can only operate in a parallel fashion and any form of conflict becomes an arms race, an escalation until one backs down and sees the other as superior.
Narcissism at its fundamental core is when adults, teens, and older children operate in the same fashion as toddlers. They can only operate via parallel play. This is because a narcissist can't imagine themselves as the other person and predict their behavior and thus change their behavior accordingly in a prevent manner to create harmony. To "expand the pie" via working together in a back and forth manner.
And this is Donald Trump. It is NARCCISSISM
Watch this recent meet the press interview
http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/video/donald-trump--full-mtp-interview-496818755906
Notice how he is not really conversing with the interviewer. Instead its parallel play. He is not interact like a dance partner in a waltz where you two are in sync, instead he is in complete control of the conversation for he recognizes no social rules or etiquette that he does not like.
How can such a man be a leader of the United States and interact with other presidents and prime ministers on the world stage. His style of leadership always leads to conflict when two people want the same toy. It is like he is in a game of highlander and there can only be one. Either accept my rules or backdown.
This type of leadership always leads to dictatorship or an un-thriving society for there is no true friendship or cooperative or even parallel association between individuals based off respect. It is bully at its very core, and in the end there is always a showdown where the narcissist is forced to be shown some form of permanence, some form of respect via a shown of force.
Narcissism can never lead to true fusion, true harmony, true synthesis. The best you can ever obtained is a college where the narcissist remains in their own inner world, similar to this picture

Notice how the paintings are separate paintings inside a room, there is no gradients there is no nuance, there is only miniature spheres inside a larger sphere. Now compare this picture

The trees are part of themselves but they are part of a greater larger social network, the chemistry and nuance is orders of magnitude more complicated and thriving.
The nation would suffer with Donald Trump as president for he just does not get this.
The narcissist can only see himself and his own mirror reflection when he plays in a room with others. A narcissist truly does not understand others and thus he does not understand cooperation and true friendship.
