Doc Cam made no such claim. Please consider that one does not need a doctorate from the medical school of a leading university in the UK, or to have co-authored two books dealing with neuroendocrinology and brain chemistry, with well over 100 peer reviewed publications, to credibly make a claim of NPD. One only needs a copy of DSM 5 and the ability to count.
No one questions your exceptionally high intelligence or your expertise in your field, which clearly is adjacent to psychology. But the point remains that you guys are not psychologists and you have not worked personally with DCP as your patient.
Kish, the 350 psychiatrists and other mental-health professionals who signed a letter submitted to Congress regarding Trump's mental health, in an effort to warn the general public about the real danger he posed to society, had not worked with him personally as their patient either.

That did not stop the 350 professionals from speaking up when they became aware of the potential harm that could result as a consequence of Trump's mental health.
"We are convinced that, as the time of possible impeachment approaches, Donald Trump has the real potential to become ever more dangerous, a threat to the safety of our nation," said Drs. Bandy Lee, a Yale psychiatrist, Jerrold Post, a former CIA profiler, and John Zinner, a psychiatrist at George Washington University.
That said, these 350 professionals went beyond Trump's NPD issues, which had been professionally diagnosed without personal contact several times before, (

Lee told The Independent that Trump appeared to be showing signs of delusion by doubling down on falsehoods and conspiracy theories.
Surely you saw DCP's response posted upthread stating that he acknowledges the opinion on his behaviors. DCP even indicated that he agrees he might be exhibiting behavioral symptoms of NPD. He wryly (and quite appropriately) asked that, if he were a narcissist, how would he know?
