Uncaring

Trump has shown many, many instances of caring in his personal and presidential life. Remember, also, that whatever information we have about him is dwarfed by what we don't know. To clinically determine personality requires more than conflicting biographies and news reports, especially biased ones. Such as we have of these about Trump conflict with, even diametrically oppose, each other.

Shallow emotions

Psychopaths show a lack of emotion, especially social emotions such as shame, guilt, and embarrassment.

He certainly doesn't seem to have a lack of emotion. And, again we don't know all the details of his life and the number of times he may have shown embarrassment, shame, or guilt. He did show some guilt and embarrassment when he publicly apologized for his pussy grabbing comments

Irresponsibility

So, do you have some huge, comprehensive, dossier on Trump's life which shows that he is a predominantly irresponsible person? I don't know how an irresponsible person could have attained the business successes, including overcoming failure, and then have managed to become President of the U.S.

Insincere speech

He may have a peculiar, somewhat stream of conscious, manner of speaking, but I don't find him to be insincere. He sincerely praises, and sincerely condemns, and sincerely tries to make deals, and he sincerely expresses a love for this country. If you see all of that as insincere, maybe your the one with a problem, a projection problem.

Overconfidence

He certainly is confident. It wasn't overconfidence in believing he could become President. Big egos put a lot o people off. Especially those with small ones. It certainly takes a lot of confidence to do what he has done. Is it overconfidence to try what he has and is trying to do? I see no reason to think so.

Narrowing of attention

He's paying attention to a lot of things, multitasking bigly.

Selfishness

How is he more selfish than most folks. And, again, how do we, can we, even know all the details of his life which might inform us about his selfishness or any other trait? There are several examples of his generosity scattered in the narrow scope of knowledge we have of his personal and presidential life.

Inability to plan for the future

Really? He got to where he is without planning for the future? Being elected President of the most powerful country in the world does not happen strictly by a series of accidents. Many things, have to be planned for and realized along the way before one can even be considered a candidate.

Violence
". . . as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults.”

Do you have a verified record of Trump's physical fights or physical assaults? Has this been hidden from us as part of his massive con?
Pete, it is not possible to clinically determine the status of someone's mental health without intensive examination of his whole life, and certainly not without an actual medical and psychological regimen performed on and with the patient.

This diagnosis from a distance, using limited and conflicting "facts" or anecdotes, is a prescription for misrepresenting someone, especially for political reasons.

That your so steeply engrossed in characterizing Trump as a psychopath, racist, alt-right, white nationalist, misogynist, etc., on the flimsy basis of biased reports and articles is not a good sign of your own mental well-being.
