They have tuned out and simply do not know who to trust or what to believe is true or not. They are trusting victims of deception and manipulation.Īs I've traveled around the country helping to deprogram people who have been in cults and similar groups, it appears that many Americans feel helpless and overwhelmed by Trump’s presidency and all that it has wrought. People do not want to hear the truth because many of them are tuned into media sources which are essentially disinformation channels. Why didn’t more Americans listen to the warnings? The level of surprise at Trump’s behavior is almost humorous.
You and others were warning people years ago that if Trump became president it would be a national and global disaster. He also has not hidden his racism, bigotry, sexism, overall belligerence, and lack of good character, morals, or principles.

You can also listen to my full conversation with Steven Hassan through the player embedded below.ĭonald Trump has been public and obvious in his threats to democracy and the rule of law. This conversation has been edited for clarity and length. Hassan is the author of several bestselling books, including " Combating Cult Mind Control" and " Freedom of Mind: Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults, and Beliefs." His new book is “ The Cult of Trump: A Leading Cult Expert Explains How the President Uses Mind Control.” In an effort to answer these questions, I recently spoke with Steven Hassan, one of the world's foremost experts on mind control and cults. Is it possible to deprogram Trump’s political cult members and return them to normal society? Should good Americans isolate Trump supporters and refuse to interact with them? In what ways does Trump fit the profile of a cult leader? How is his apparent and lengthy history of sexually predatory behavior typical of a cult leader? If Trump is removed from office, will his supporters respond with violence? From that realization follows another: Trump’s removal from the White House, by electoral defeat or any other means, remains unlikely - unless his opponents can fully mobilize to overwhelm and defeat Trump’s zealots. Trump’s lies, his assault on reality, his threats of violence, his cruelty, his demand of absolute loyalty, his manipulation of willing subjects who choose to escape empirical reality, and his shared state of collective narcissism with his followers all fit the definition of a cult. Trumpism can be understood as right-wing political extremism transformed into a cult. Indeed, Trump’s base of stable support remains the highest among American presidents in the history of modern polling.ĭespite - or because of - Trump’s apparent criminal behavior and obvious inclinations toward fascism he has a cement-like hold on his supporters.

On the surface, at least, it would seem that Donald Trump’s continual torrent of lawbreaking, his disrespect for the Constitution and democracy, his corruption, racism, nativism, misogyny and overall debasement of human morality and human decency have finally reached a point where he will be held accountable by the Democrats in Congress and then at the polls in 2020.īut what of the 39 percent (or so) of Americans who continue to support Donald Trump? His popularity among Republican voters continues to be remarkably high and stable (87 percent per Gallup’s most recent poll) given his many failures of policy, including policy decisions that directly hurt his most enthusiastic “white working class” supporters. Trump could become the first American president to run for re-election after being impeached in the House of Representatives.
That's three times higher than the percentage of Americans who supported impeaching Richard Nixon during the early stages of the impeachment process. A new Gallup poll finds that at least 50 percent of the American people want Donald Trump to be impeached and removed from office.
