Ok, "like"... it's interesting. And someone with NPD who is a misogynist and a creep isn't really my preferred kind of crazy.
What I do know from the resemblance with BPD, it's more to provoke than that he really means what he says. And that's refreshing and would allow him to be pragmatic rather than an ideologue and dogmatist, blindly liberal
nor conservative. Psychologists call it openness and it's rare in politics.
I agree his running mate is a problem. A staunch conservative. The antithesis of Trump (in this respect). That's of course why they chose him. Luckily, the Vice President doesn't really have any real power. He's used to cover all bases just to please more voters during the campaign. That he makes up for what Trump is lacking is I think a good thing, in that way.
Trump should really not be compared to a fascist. There are no private armies of his followers marching the streets. His acceptance speech clearly shows that he doesn't believe in division. Just opposition. He is his own checks and balances. He's changeable, chronically near-psychotic, but not really psychotic. No real fear of others or xenophobia. He wouldn't live in New York if he were.
Edit:
Not that being psychotic automatically leads to xenophobia. Of course not. But many of the truly dangerous people had a psychotic kind of fear for some minorities they saw as powerful and dangerous, a menace, and similar fear of other countries and ideologies. It makes it easy to convince others if you believe it yourself so very strongly, if it's not overly fanciful, if it could be true and more or less resonates with people's prior assumptions, I hope we all can agree (or maybe I'm just that convincing or others around me so gullible

).
