Attractiveness is inherently subjective, it’s just that there’s nothing wrong with studying subjective qualities.

It is both objective and subjective, not 100% subjective.
There are objective standards of beauty, you can’t deny that.
Facial symmetry
Also the field of psychology is subjective, it’s not a hard science. We don’t know for sure that Trump is a narcissist or whatever, i’m not trusting this low IQ youtuber.
To a point. There is a substantial amount of consensus about that disorder.
Yet he displays a lot of the qualities using the textbook definition.

Speaking of narcissism, it’s more common than you think, particularly in the younger generation:
“In data from 37,000 college students, narcissistic personality traits rose just as fast as obesity from the 1980s to the present.”
So Trump might be a narcissist, so as 1 out of 10 millenials and gen Z.

Pentagon Confirms Military Will Not Hold Traditional Farewell Ceremony for Trump
Defense One reports that the Pentagon confirms the military will not hold a farewell ceremony for President Donald Trump , as it has for past presidents.
The outlet, which focuses on national security issues, broke the news that Trump won’t be getting the traditional sendoff in a scathing commentary by Executive Editor Kevin Baron:
The Pentagon, in a break with recent tradition, will not host an Armed Forces Farewell tribute to President Donald Trump.
It’s a shame, but not a surprise. Trump will leave office in disgrace, one week after the House voted a second time for his impeachment, two weeks after his supporters staged a deadly siege in the Capitol Building, six months after he dragged his Joint Chiefs chairman into a political firestorm, and after four years of nonstop assaults on truth. One of those disgraces is how he is ghosting the U.S. troops that he commanded.
On Wednesday, the White House announced that this weekend Vice President Mike Pence “will deliver remarks to sailors on the Trump Administration’s historic foreign policy achievements at Naval Air Station Lemoore,” and then to the 10th Mountain Division, in Fort Drum, New York. Two senior defense officials confirmed to Defense One on Thursday that no military farewell is being planned for the commander in chief.

I can see this as well as how social media promotes the behavior. Pre-CoVID, people don’t vacation that damn much. Imagine how hard 2020 has been on those who can’t fabricate their personality.

Sisyphus 55 is generally entertainment, not a psychologist - and I’ve heard repeatedly from professionals that they would never risk diagnosing someone who is not a patient in the media. So this is purely entertainment in the current climate.
At 15:17 in your linked video Mr. Campbell goes into how it’s in grooming and dress, not particularly physical attributes. I guess the hair to split is where does the difference between looking more attractive and being more attractive lay?
An easy example may be putting Chris Hemsworth next to Adam Driver, both considered attractive according to what I’ve read; but objectively I find Driver to be intensely goofy looking. Much like that guy playing modern James Bond, whom you will never not convince me is NOT Alfred E. Neuman on TRT and a good publicist.
More on the matter for interested parties.
Third, narcissists are considered more attractive than the average person. A statistical analysis (meta-analysis) review of almost 50 different studies comprised of over a thousand research participants revealed a small but reliable positive correlation between narcissism and physical attractiveness. The studies were based on observers’ ratings of attractiveness (not the narcissists’ rating themselves). So the measure of physical attractiveness was less biased. It’s easy to imagine why narcissists rate themselves as more attractive—but why would they actually appear more attractive to others too? Narcissists do enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror. They may spend more time grooming themselves to bolster their grandiose self-images. In this way, narcissists may be more prone to self-objectify—and identify with and to base their self-worth on their external appearance, instead of their character.
Thanks for the link - is it just me, or does Mr. Paikin look like Handsome Squidward with a perm?

Yeah it’s what I was thinking, maybe narcissists put more efforts into their appearance it’s why they are rated as more attractive. But as far as objective standards of beauty, it exists, there are biologists or scientists who have done studies on this. We’re talking about serious academics not a bunch of randoms.
Interesting read right here:
Many of the companies who are now withholding their support from these GOP members are among the biggest beneficiaries of the tax bill those same lawmakers helped shepherd. Amazon, for instance, called Republicans’ actions last week an “unacceptable attempt to undermine a legitimate democratic process.” Yet for two of the last three years, Amazon, which spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying Congress and the White House for the Trump tax cuts, has enjoyed a negative effective federal tax rate. The online retail behemoth paid nothing in federal corporate income tax in 2018 or 2019, even as its profits soared over $11 billion. In 2020, Amazon owed just roughly 1.2 percent of its $13 billion profit in federal taxes—far below the 12 percent tax rate applied to the poorest Americans.
