Trump is one of those "freaks of nature" who has one of the perfect combinations of personality traits required to make a cult guru. He is an expert manipulative con artist with daddy issues and Olympic-level mental gymnastic skills who will do anything to get praise from people no matter who it is from or whether it was deserved or not. On top of that he was born into a position of enough wealth and power to enable him to perfect such behaviors and give him much more leverage in doing it. He was the perfect storm.
To get this much-needed praise he exploited a well-known flaw in the human mind that people will tend to more easily believe information that makes them feel good about themselves. This is the very same principle by which Trump does his own mental gymnastics. He based his entire platform on this by saying exactly and only what his potential supporters (and himself) wanted to hear and believe in with no considerations made to accuracy or even the consequences of such declarations. Anything that got his crowd to cheer and love him, he would say it. It was like a positive reinforcement loop for both sides.
Over time he has created an entire parallel "reality" for his supporter crowd to believe in. That's how he managed to get such a firm grip on his supporters to a point where a lot of them will completely reject the real world and throw their lives away to defend this reality he has made up for them.
Another place where you hear of something like this happening is in religious cults.

Still every time it's very simple signs that show you the kind of person in power.
-When loyalty counts more over performance. Any time you start to see that shit RUN. Nazis did this, North Korea, China, Russia, all of these countries put a priority to the state or to the head of state. As soon as you see that you know there's corruption in the background.
-Then it's the rhethoric, any time you see somebody gathering up nationalism based on false claims something else is going on in the background. Again, every single dictatorship presents a false image of itself. This image is the fabrication of the government or leadership. Any time a country needs to present a false front, defending it can lead to war.
There's a reason the US is in the worst state it's been since the great depression. Even then we only saw a 29% single quarter GDP drop. Under Trump we had over 33% single quarter gdp drop. Our markets are fucked for decades...

That this statistic was developed and presented, and that you all believe this information represents anything useful, is a testament to collective mental illness. Induced.
