Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?

  My hypothesis: narcissistic people live longer, because they apply the placebo effect at all times to themselves.

    I think it’s simply due to stress. Most people care about people other than themselves. They worry about the effect of their actions on others. They worry about not living up to their potential. They worry about letting people they care about down. Narcissists by contrast get to live blissfully ignorant low stress lives. Look at Trump. That bastard has not a care in the world. In his mind, he’s already perfect. Notice how the presidency tends to rapidly age people, but it didn’t seem to affect Trump? This is why.

      Yeah he’s golfing everyday

      He’s stressed doing politics for an hour, so he’ll go golf for 4hrs. If anything, he’s getting younger.

    I agree with your theory that narcissists live longer but I also think they suck the lives out of the people closest to them

    Mmm idk, personally I know a selfish POS that killed himself a few years out of college. Then again: every rule will have its exceptions.
