TSF is not only a narcissist... he has strong signs of histrionic personality disorder

These are the symptoms:

When diagnosing HPD, a mental health professional looks for five or more of these histrionic personality disorder symptoms:

Being excessively dramatic, with exaggerated displays of intense emotion
Self-centeredness—uncomfortable when not the center of attention
Dramatic and vague manner of speaking
Inappropriately seductive appearance or behavior
Rapidly shifting emotional states that appear shallow to others
Overly concerned with physical appearance, and using physical appearance to draw attention to oneself
Easily influenced by other people
Tends to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are.

People with histrionic personality disorder lack a sense of self and self-worth. Hence, their self-esteem depends on gaining the approval of others. When they are not in the spotlight, people with HPD feel uncomfortable and unappreciated. Therefore, they will do whatever is necessary in order to be the center of attention. This could include a variety of dramatic and inappropriate behaviors, such as:

Making impulsive decisions
Not thinking before acting
Constantly seeking reassurance or approval
Being excessively sensitive to criticism or disapproval
Getting frustrated by situations that involve delayed gratification; constantly seeking immediate satisfaction
Beginning and abandoning projects; easily bored in general
Blaming failure or disappointment on others
Getting into risky situations as a result of craving novelty
Having difficulty maintaining relationships
Seeming fake or superficial.

There are undoubtedly other disorders roaming the cobweb-infested recesses of that abbey normal brain as well. Some may not yet have a name.

it made me think of someone who I used to know. He had a very exciting job but it was never ever enough. With TSF its like he can't stay focused on something for more than 24 hours. Then he's on to another continent.

To paraphrase Shakespeare, Trump by any other name still smells like a full diaper.
