Trump: The Cult of Personality

Trump the billionaire, but this is how he really dresses and lives -- like a pudgy Benny Hill?

Trump, Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock wrap up a weird, wild RNC | The Daily Show
(The Daily Show) July 18, 2024: Jordan Klepper goes live after the final night of the Republican National Convention (RNC) to unpack Trump’s big boring 92-minute speech, and appearances from clownish Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock. Plus, an update on the status of Joe Biden's dying candidacy as he contracts Covid, which makes him weaker, foggier, and more useless than usual. #DailyShow #Trump #RNC


Is the Trump presidency a religious cult? | Reza Aslan
(Big Think) Is there a cult of personality around Trump, and is his presidency a religious cult? Are fundamentalist Christians a dangerous religious cult? Possibly. The controversial author and religious scholar Prof. Reza Aslan posits that Pres. Trump has much of his evangelical fan-base believing that he's somehow been anointed by God to become president. Never mind the Russian election scandal, his affairs with porn stars, and unwarranted sexual acts towards women, or his inability to remember even a single Bible verse when asked. Evangelical Christians are abandoning their core moral beliefs to follow, as Dr. Reza suggests, someone who exhibits every trademark of a cult leader. That should terrify anyone on either side of the political spectrum. Reza Aslan's book is God: A Human History.
