If you want to use Trump's private internal thoughts to make a diagnosis, that's the kind of intimacy you want an interview with the patient to be sure of. Of course, you want an interview with the patient for any kind of diagnosis, but it becomes even simpler when we're talking about analysing this level of detail in his internal psyche. Goldwater rule should apply double to this kind of "He acts proud but he's secretly ashamed."
That's true. Even with all the evidence now available, current experts cannot diagnose A. Hitler with 100% certainty. He seemed to have some issues that remind us of narcissistic personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, among others. We can only speculate (as with D. Trump).
