Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal and value yourself more than you value others.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. You may be generally unhappy and disappointed when you're not given the special favors or admiration you believe you deserve. Others may not enjoy being around you, and you may find your relationships unfulfilling.
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and other areas of their life, such as work or school.
If you have narcissistic personality disorder, you may come across as conceited, boastful or pretentious. You often monopolize conversations. You may belittle or look down on people you perceive as inferior. You may feel a sense of entitlement — and when you don't receive special treatment, you may become impatient or angry. You may insist on having "the best" of everything — for instance, the best car, athletic club or medical care.
At the same time, you have trouble handling anything that may be perceived as criticism. You may have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation. To feel better, you may react with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make yourself appear superior. Or you may feel depressed and moody because you fall short of perfection.
Many experts use the criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, to diagnose mental conditions. This manual is also used by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
SYMPTOMS:
DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:

Narcissistic personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder are often confused by people ( I do not see how). I think out of all the personality disorders, those two are the most interesting. And whats even funnier is that you will find a lot of both on this website!

Histrionic is most definitely interesting; I actually hadn't thought about that one in a few years since my Abnormal Psychology class. I guess it's easily overlooked due to it only accounting for a small percentage of the population. Either way, yes, I can think of many people who fit the mold of either Histrionic or Narcissistic Personality Disorder; while they share a few similar symptoms, they are very different.

"vulnerable to the slightest criticism" - any single, small thing said negatively about her is "bullying" and abuse. Any criticism is an "attack", and they react the same way every single time.
Narcissism is apparent in the complete lack of respect for anyone else's agency as a human (example being that "you send your minions out to give me negative honour") - or as a person with feelings in general. They can saw awful things to people, awful, horrid and sickening things - they can be racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic - they can be nasty as heck, but you'd better bet your socks that they will say you are 100x worse than they are - just for saying "You're not a nice person".
They will lie and manipulate without remorse or consideration for others.
In their mind, everyone deserves bad things, because they're all "lesser" than her. They're all "bad".
The person's confidence is based on them tearing others down to further themselves - and they will tear ANYONE down to make themselves look like the better person. They will lie and manipulate people into believing others are wrong about themselves, that they're lying about them, that it's all not true. They will try minimise the amount people who see what they are like, by doing "damage control", and telling people "It's minions/multiple profiles" - unable to comprehend that they're disliked by MANY people. Their delusions of self-importance stretch too far to be able to accept that. They also continually say "You're just jealous" as a means of trying to reinforce this rhetoric to themselves - that they are fine as a human, instead of actually trying to self-critique and fix the issues.
Their self-centred nature is shown amply in an entry they wrote about how "trans people don't have it hard" (ignoring that trans people are victims of corrective rape, homicide/murder and are the leading statistics of suicide in the world, right now) - saying that (I'm paraphrasing) 'real injustice is that I was arrested while trying to report that I was kidnapped, as I have an outstanding warrant' - ie, that her, as a privileged, straight white woman, who is also a known criminal and drug user, was arrested for a warrant (so she's committed a crime and then likely skipped on court dates) - that her being arrested for her criminal activities is WORSE than innocent people being murdered for trying to be who they are without stigma and judgement, rape and murder.
When people speak out against her, she again monopolises the attention to her woes, making them out to be so much worse than anything anyone else has experienced.
There's quite a few people on VR like this, though. There's a couple of others who slip under the radar, their delusions of self-importance manifesting in different ways.

You hit the nail on the head. Her bigotry is actually disgusting; for someone who loathes Trump so much, she definitely acts like a female version of him. I have seen/heard her attack people of different races and cultures, people with disabilities, the LGBT community; if you can name them, she has probably attacked them.
...And yes, she is a criminal, not was, is. For example, CPS could easily take her child right now for the following reasons:
1. Neglect
2. Verbal Abuse
3. Drug Usage
4. Living Conditions (Hotel Room)
5. Absconding to Another State (She is in Jersey, but tells everyone that she is in Pennsylvania because legally, that is where she is supposed to be.)
6. Child Endangerment (She exposes her to all types of filth on the internet, has her living with a drug dealer, and exposes her to drug usage on a daily basis.)
This list could probably continue indefinitely, but I'm sure you see what I'm getting at.
Nobody is jealous of her; most of the people she attacks have more going for them in their lives than she likely ever will. She's a nasty person to the core, but as one of the symptoms states: "Being envious of others and believing others envy you".
