There are those who think the USA in particular has a narcissism crisis (and some data to back it up).

I would say that from the outside, it's really very clear that America has become more narcissistic over the last 35-40 years, but I think there's also evidence of a reckoning -- of a younger culture beginning to mix more self-effacement in with their self-expression.

I'd place the UK slightly lower on the scale of worsening narcissism, but I am sure other countries would observe it in us. Gen Z would seem to be getting tired of the whining over here, too.

Prior to the 2016 US election I heard with complete denial that the presidency is a reflection of the sum of our culture.

I was wrong.
