Lets take a look at each of those and see if Obama better qualifies .
1.) grandiose sense of self-importance: Obama mentions himself 119 times in his recent speech at the Democratic Convention. A trait he has been cited for since taking office. Seems to me Trump uses the word ‘we’ more often than not.
2.) a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success: that phrase, or symptom fits Obama like a glove. Three key words give it away in Obama’s case. Preoccupation, fantasies, & unlimited. Obama has if nothing else been preoccupied with his dreams for America. His dreams, which most have been more fantasy than reality, and he views his claim to fame, Obama care, as unlimited success. Trump on the other hand has actually enjoyed success and many of his dreams have been built.
3.) a belief that he or she is special and can only be understood by others with a similar status : Obama coming from his socialist upbringing and being black relates mostly with those of similar mind, especially the radical fringe elements that served as his mentors. Trump, I think he feels his hard work and skills brought him success, and its obvious his ability to work with all kinds of people is proof of his leadership and ability to ‘get along’ and is understood by many.
4.) a requirement of excessive admiration: While Obama gladly accepts the admiration from any source, he thrives, revels in, the admiration of fellow discontents be it angry socialists, angry blacks, and most important, his fellow radical Islamic muslim brotherhood. Why else give Iran the billions, and reduce their requirements for nuclear inspections ? If Trump suffered from wanting admiration more than results, he would have never accomplished what he has and certainly would not be saying what he says, knowing that many will not exactly admire him. Obama has said a lot of things to get to the White House. Many of them outright lies. Trump speaks his mind, and what he thinks this country needs, not necessarily what people want to hear.
5.) a sense of entitlement: Obama has referred to himself as King, and as deserving a third term. Kinda sez it all.
6.) interpersonal exploitation: Obama is a master at this. Quick to exploit any situation, even tragedy to bolster his agenda. His divisive actions prompting black vs white, rich vs poor, are legendary.
7.) lack of empathy, envy of others, arrogant or haughty behavior: Instead of empathy for the families that lost loved ones in Benghazi, he told them lies about a video tape. Obama has spent a life of envy for this country, its success, and world dominence. And I can think of nothing more arrogant or haughty than how he railed against Bush and the nations debt, even calling it unpatriotic, and then doubling our nations debt once he became President. To me that is the very height of arrogance, as well as irresponsible.
Of course, like Hillary, Obama does not think any of these symptons apply to him. They have their own, live by, a different set of standards, rules, and laws. They feel entitled to special treatment, that laws do not apply to them. And that is my ultimate test of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
