I remember a ton of folks, myself included, calling him a narcissist (maybe even stupid, but *definitely* a narcissist) following his prior transgressions, even when I agreed with him (the Bush thing, for ex.).

And while we can all agree that *something's* going on, and even as legs said "narcissism" itself may be a mental illness to an extent ... the fact is that we don't know the exact diagnosis so it's hard for me to buy that any of the narcissistic behavior, now or in the past, has been solely the result of whatever illness he may or may not suffer from. We can speculate but we just don't know. So all we can do is react to whatever he's giving us. And for the record I know that you're not saying that it *is* the sole reason for the behavior. Your points have been properly nuanced and I get what you're putting down.

And beyond that, didn't his wife, the person supposedly closest to him, come out and say he's in a good place mentally ? Like after the initial Trump stuff came out, on Twitter ? So while I wouldn't trust the Kardashians as far as I can throw them, we can only go off of what we know and see. And I just still don't totally buy that Kanye West suddenly became a Trump-supporting slavery truther solely because he's got some kind of mental condition. It's just as likely that he's just a regular old narcissistic, self-promoting, selfish, self-absorbed clown and isn't suffering from any mental issues at all right now. We don't know for sure either way.
