London cabs always dis me. I purposefully give them a good tip because I’m trying to straighten up the image where they don’t want to pick up some shady-looking, bummy kid like myself.

Extreme narcissists exaggerate their achievements and talents, and so Trump has spent his life building up a false image of himself – not just for others, but for himself, to protect his deeply fragile ego.
