Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.

The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.

It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.

Wouldn't a narcissist fret a lot about their public image, even what's left of it after their death? I mean, the way this man brags about winning at golf, having every other country "kissing [his] ass" asking for deals after the tariffs, scoring high marks on his intelligence dementia tests, etc, it's quite clear he cares a lot about being seen as a powerful and talented person.

I don't know much about narcissism other than the popular definition so of course I could be completely wrong.
