Do these character traits fit anyone we know, prominent in politics?

1. Feel underappreciated or depressed when they’re not the center of attention.
2. Have rapidly shifting and shallow emotions.
3. Be dramatic and extremely emotionally expressive, even to the point of embarrassing friends and family in public.
4. Have a “larger than life” presence.
5. Be persistently charming and flirtatious.
6. Be overly concerned with their physical appearance.
7. Use their physical appearance to draw attention to themselves by wearing bright-colored clothing or revealing clothing. [weird hair counts]
8. Act inappropriately sexual with most of the people they meet, even when they’re not sexually attracted to them. [a conviction for sexual assault counts]
9. Speak dramatically and express strong opinions but with few facts or details to support their opinions. [affected speech mannerisms counts]
10. Be gullible and easily influenced by others, especially by the people they admire. [admiring tinpot dictators, and believing something because "people on tv said it" counts]
11. Think that their relationships with others are closer than they usually are. ['I have a great relationship with Putin']
12. Have difficulty maintaining relationships, often seeming fake or shallow in their interactions with others.
13. Need instant gratification and become bored or frustrated very easily.
14. Constantly seek reassurance or approval. ['my crowds are bigger than Martin Luther King's']

It's called Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Does a Histrionic Personality Disorder include the need for an ex-model to steam his pants on a regular basis? 😏
