FAILURE?

All of that is behaviour that can be observed. What Thomaes would very much like to see: what will happen within Trump if he loses the election? How will he feel?

"I think that, once he is alone up in his Trump Tower, he will doubt himself immensely. Don't forget: a narcissist especially wants to think about themselves in a positive way. That does not mean they always succeed at that. If a narcissist fails, you'll often see a dent in their self appreciation." Would Trump consider himself a failure? "That's not unthinkable. His reality, befitting a classical narcissist, consists of winners and losers. If he loses while the whole world is watching, that'll have a big impact on him. But I don't think we'll get to see that."
