Donald Trump is an autocrat and the leader of a political personality cult.

That decidedly does not mean turning the party into a personality cult.

But once he was indicted for various crimes in New York, Atlanta, South Florida, and Washington, the personality cult was reformed.

In an email to me last Monday, Mercieca added: “Trump's Madison Square Garden event was full of the kind of fascist rhetoric that is now commonplace from his campaign. He has effectively terrorized his supporters into believing that their lives are at risk and that he is the only one who can save them. From the outside of Trump's personality cult, those claims do not resonate. I don't think Trump persuaded any undecided voters with his appeals to fear and hate.”

Trump’s behavior at Arlington National Cemetery last week, and his use of the Presidential Medal of Freedom as an extension of his ego and personality cult, are examples of a man who does not value service to anyone or anything but himself.
