** Many other examples could be given here, but ''The Washington Post'' tracks his claims regularly (such as [https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/10/04/17-issues-that-donald-trump-knows-better-than-anyone-else-according-to-donald-trump/?utm_term=.023786155911 the pre-election era circa 2016]) and specifically in [https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/11/27/president-trumps-full-washington-post-interview-transcript-annotated/?utm_term=.ee0b33f542cf this November 27, 2018 interview] wherein Trump epitomised this trope:

* [[Lack of Empathy]]: Is apparently completely incapable of understanding or sympathizing with the feelings of anyone other than himself, as noted by many outside observers and reporters.
* [[Large and In Charge]]: 6'3" and 243 pounds as of the end of 2020, with a body mass index over 30, which qualifies him as "obese", although not morbidly so as some have claimed.
