An actual, diagnostic characteristic of Malignant Narcissistic sociopaths is joking at inappropriate times about inappropriate subjects. To Barry, the golf course is serious, and the economy is funny. As long as he gets his tax-payer funded super-jet, hundred-dollar-a-pound taxpayer funded Wagu and million-dollar taxpayer funded parties, the economy is a lark. Just don’t tell him he has to skip his weekly eighteen holes—he’ll go ballistic.
Bingo. He does that all the time - and the press laughs right along with him. .
