Is the trump Presidency a Religious Cult?

1. The cult of bigotry.

Seriously, Trump is least charismatic cult leader I've ever seen. He's an angry, humorless, brainless asshole with the oratory skills of a 9 year old with a mouthful of peanut butter.

Trump's campaign without the racist shit doesn't last 2 days.

5. Sad but true. That's what it's about for most GOP voters these days.

I never dreamed I'd live to see the day I'd hear a U.S. president complain that we "aren't getting more immigrants from places like Norway."

I tell you though, if I were a Trump adviser, I'd take use his racism to try to persuade him to beef up Obamacare - and if possible even enact Single Payer.

"How can we expect to get any significant Scandinavian immigration," I'd point out, "if we make health care inaccessible?"

And I'd bring in a couple of Swedish models to, er, help make my point.

2. Trump will....

give the evangelicals anything they want as long as it doesn't interfere with his grifting. He doesn't care if a woman's right to choose is destroyed. He doesn't care if the evangelicals establish a theocracy in the U.S. and make christianity the state mandated religion. He doesn't care about any of that as long as it doesn't effect him, and he's free to rob the country blind. Trump also gets unwavering support from them. That's the deal he made with the evangelicals, and it's working just fine, so far.

7. it's a cult of personality.

like stalin, and hitler. fed by the feckless rightwing media and enabled by the republicans. evangelicals at this point could not care less about jesus, trump is much more important to them.

8. Religious!

First must you not have a real love for Jesus and not conflict him with mana? Secondly don’t they need to quit rewriting the Bible until it fits their way of thinking? No there is no “religion“ involved here it’s just the soda jerk telling them he is their leader as they blindly follow him to the gate of despair. A cult is all there is here nothing more...
