I asked AI “Which world leaders past or present show narcissistic psychosis.”

1. Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1933–1945) • Exhibited grandiose delusions, believing in his destiny to reshape the world and demonstrating a complete lack of empathy for human life. • His actions, including the Holocaust, show a disregard for human suffering and an extreme need for admiration and control. 2. Joseph Stalin (Soviet Union, 1924–1953) • Stalin was often described as delusional, thinking of himself as the ultimate leader who could do no wrong. His purges, forced labor camps, and the Great Terror reflect a psychotic disregard for human life and stability. 3. Saddam Hussein (Iraq, 1979–2003) • Often exhibited narcissistic psychosis, believing he was a heroic figure destined to rule the Arab world. His brutal repression of opposition and his pursuit of power were driven by delusions of invincibility and supreme authority. 4. Muammar Gaddafi (Libya, 1969–2011) • Gaddafi displayed grandiosity, believing in his divine role as the “King of Kings” of Africa. He often showed psychotic tendencies through his erratic behavior, lack of empathy for others, and obsession with control. 5. Kim Jong-un (North Korea, 2011–present) • Kim Jong-un has shown signs of narcissistic psychosis, cultivating a persona of invincibility and control over North Korea while exhibiting delusional tendencies, especially with his claims of being a supreme and all-knowing leader. 6. Donald Trump (United States, 2017–2021, 2025–present) • Trump’s grandiose self-image, manipulative tactics, impulsive behavior, and disregard for consequences often reflect narcissistic psychosis. His delusions of personal greatness and power, as well as his denial of reality in situations like the 2020 election outcome, showcase a lack of connection to objective reality.
