As a New Yorker, I am aware of his long history of horrific judgments and grifting anyone he could. Being stupid and getting away with stiffing people is not crazy. Unfortunately, he has gotten away with most of his pathetic behavior.

Way back in 2000, he wanted tariffs, undefined, and wanted to run for president on a Ross Perrot-type agenda.

I would agree that he fits the narcissist in a DM5, but the insane part, no. He is a slimey, dumb man who is slick at seeing opportunity and will market accordingly. That is how he essentially took over the Republican brand, by himself.
