2nd, people have been complaining about his showing his kid on instagram. Not sure how that is any different than any other celebrity or non-celebrity doing the exact same thing. People overuse instagram. Doesn't mean they are bad people.
Egotistical? Absolutely. Narcissistic? Hardly.

fwiw, i posted that i saw no link between the hair comment and narcissism. so on that, wow, we agree.
as for posting pictures of children online, it depends on how the person does it. a narcissist will use their own children to boost their false image that they project to the world. "I'm a good father", "I'm responsible", "I'm caring and nurturing", etc. in a very similar way, this cherry-picked example does not support a NPD diagnosis.
however, you are forgetting or purposefully omitting 30 years of public fallouts, blame shifting, egocentric tendencies, emotionally reactive behavior, impulsivity, child-like behavior, inability to apologize (sincerely), and his own admission of a false self used to protect his, also self-admitted, overly traumatized inner child.
he's a narc. why you feel a need to defend that is beyond me.
