Inability to admit mistakes is not listed as a diagnostic marker, but a quick review of them is like reading a detailed description of President Trump. Trump's admission about regretting Sessions has mostly been "if I'd known then what I know now," so it's not as if he's saying he was completely wrong with the pick. In effect, he blames Sessions for not telling him he'd recuse himself.

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
 1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).
 2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
 3. Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).
 4. Requires excessive admiration.
 5. Has a sense of entitlement (i.e., unreasonable expectation of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations).
 6. Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends).
 7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
 8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.
 9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes.
