Annoys me that people sling "narcissist" at everyone they don't like, but damn, the man is hitting on all 8-cylinders for a diagnosis, and he only needs to hit 5:
Having a grandiose sense of self-importance, such as exaggerating achievements and talents, expecting to be recognized as superior even without commensurate achievements
Preoccupation with fantasies of success, power, beauty, and idealization
Belief in being "special" and that they can only be understood by or associated with other high-status people (or institutions)
Demanding excessive admiration
Sense of entitlement
Exploitation behaviors
Lack of empathy
Envy towards others or belief that others are envious of them Arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes [1]
