Please show evidence where medical professionals ever even speculated Barack Obama may have had narcissistic personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, or in fact any Cluster B personality disorder.

(In case you are unaware: "Psychopath" is not an actual diagnosis. It's a common layman's term denoting any number of mental illnesses and personality disorders, but it is not a diagnosis. If we're talking about the stereotypical ultraviolent amoral type, you'd see a diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.)

In regards to Trump (and keeping in mind the caveat that many medical professionals will not even give a speculative discussion on this due to the Goldwater Rule--which itself has become a bit controversial under Trump's administration, itself indicative of concerns by medical professionals):

Psychology Today: "Malignant narcissism: Does the President really have it?"; LCSW not saying definitively due to Goldwater Rule, but noting Dr. John Gartner of John Hopkins University is under opinion Trump is potentially diagnosable as having narcissistic personality disorder with malignant narcissist traits--effectively a combination of narcissistic personality disorder with some aspects of antisocial personality disorder.

Blunt Therapy: Does Donald Trump have narcissistic personality disorder?: Randy Williams, LPC speculates Donald Trump does meet at least some of the diagnostic criteria.

Letter to (at the time) President Barack Obama asking for an emergency evaluation: Drs. Judith Herman (of Harvard Medical School), Nanette Gartrell (of University of California, San Francisco) and Dee Mosbacher (Community Health Systems, UCSF) noting that, while they cannot offer a professional diagnosis, they are requesting emergency evaluation for mental illness, neurodegenerative disorder, and/or severe personality disorder due to observed signs of mental instability and specifically noting concerns re narcissistic personality disorder

Letter to the Editor, New York Times, October 20, 2019: Dr. Henry J. Friedman of Harvard Medical School notes that Trump does likely meet, and in fact exceed, diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder just based on observed public behaviour

Psychiatry group tells members they can ignore 'Goldwater rule' and comment on Trump's mental health--the American Psychoanalytic Association has in general issued a statement that its licensed social workers and psychoanalysts are permitted to comment on Trump's mental health; the Goldwater Rule has been sacrosanct for decades, the mere fact the subject is being broached is itself a sign of concern

Donald Trump and The Definition of Insanity: As of 15 February 2017, upwards of 58,000 licensed mental health professionals (and over 70,000 as of 15 May 2019) had signed a formal petition expressing concern that Donald Trump meets the diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder of malignant type and Amendment 25 proceedings must begin to remove him from office as medically unfit--explicitly noting that their professional obligation under the Tarasoff Rule (to use reasonable care to protect an intended victim if a patient presents a threat of serious danger of violence to that intended victim; it's actually one of the legal exemptions to HIPAA) requires them to express this concern

Unpicking Donald Trump's psychopathology helps explain the toxic reality facing America: Dr. Ian Hughes of University College Cork (UK) notes how Trump fits axis of narcisstic personality disorder, and also notes Dr. Bandy Lee's The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump as well as noting how extremist movements may actually make people with NPD worse

The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: A book written by 37 distinct psychiatrists and other mental health professionals (including Dr. Bandy Lee (who has written on the topic of violence and violent personalities); Dr. Robert J. Lifton (who has written extensively on thought reform and tactics used in coercive groups) as the result of a conference at Yale University) which notes that--among other things--Trump meets criteria of narcissistic personality disorder as well as antisocial personality disorder

Trump on the Couch Inside the Mind of the President: One of a series of books on presidential psychology by Dr. Justin A. Frank (including Obama on the Couch and Bush on the Couch, notes concerns that Trump meets criteria of narcissistic personality disorder, combined with possibly antisocial and/or paranoid personality disorders and possible early signs of dementia

And I'll even add one that's not on Trump per se, but explicitly notes how Trump effectively runs a coercive quasi-religious group at this point:

The Cult of Trump: A Leading Cult Expert Explains How The President Uses Mind Control: Dr. Steven Hassan, who is an exit counselor (mental health professional assisting people voluntarily leaving a coercive group using undue influence) who is himself a walkaway from the Moonies and who has written extensively on the spectrum of undue influence used by coercive groups and promoters of toxic relationships, does a formal analysis of "MAGA movements" as literal cults of personality--this becomes important because persons with narcissistic personality disorder are overrepresented as cult leaders and leadership in a coercive group or movement can make someone with NPD much, much worse
