Donald Trump is not your ordinary politician. Throughout the years, we’ve seen much scum rise to the top of the GOP pond—Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, former Sheriff of Maricopa County Joe Apraio—but Mr. Trump not only takes the whole cake, he washes it down with large Diet Coke and two McDonalds’ milkshakes.
Most of the country detests the man and he basically won the election on a technicality with the Electoral College—Hillary Clinton won almost three million more popular votes than Trump received. But regardless of that, Donald Trump still has a large base of cultists following him, who are of the opinion that he can basically do no wrong. Trump supporters applauded then-FBI director James Comey last year for announcing just days before the general election that the FBI was re-opening its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. However, months later, after it was clear that Comey wasn’t going to become Trump’s errand boy and “Make the Russia thing go away,” Trump fired Comey.
Trump cultists did not bat at eye at this.
In Michael Wolff’s recently published book, “Fire and Fury,” former Trump Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon told the author:
"The three senior guys in the [Trump] campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor-- with no lawyers. They didn't have any lawyers. “Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad sh**, and I happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately."
Reported The Hill, last week:
Only 1 percent of Americans who voted for President Trump say they back former Breitbart News head Stephen Bannon in his recent feud with Trump, according to a new Huffpost/YouGov poll.
So, once again, we can affirmatively state Trump cultists did not bat an eye.
I’ll never forget last year, when a woman sitting beside me in the city bus started talking to me. She started making small talk. I noticed her “Make America Great Again” hat. “So, you like Trump, eh?” I asked her.
“Oh, yeah,” she beamed. “Don’t you?”
“No,” I replied.
“Why not?” she said, as though her mind couldn’t comprehend the words of blasphemy I had just uttered.
“Because he’s a liar.”
“Why’s he a liar?” she asked.
“Well...” my mind was overloaded. Trump had been caught in so many whoppers on the campaign trail. Where was I going to start? Finally, I found what I believed to be a doozy. “What about how Trump just recently admitted—admitted—that President Obama was born in America. There is mountain of footage of Trump saying Obama wasn’t born in the United States of America, and now he just admits that he was. How do you explain that one?”
The girl chuckled. “Oh, well,” she said. “He really does believe that Obama wasn’t born here. He was just saying that.”
Oh my God, I remember thinking. These people aren’t normal. They’re sick. They’re twisted. They’re damaged.
And once again: Did the Trump supporter bat an eye over her leaders flagrant lies? Nope.
Conclusion: Donald Trump is, without a doubt, a cult leader and not a politician.
