"Has Trump Created the Largest Cult in America?" with cult and mind control expert Steve Hassan

Since his election in 2016, Donald Trump’s behavior has become increasingly erratic and alarming. He rallies his followers with chants of “fake news” and “build the wall”, and continues to spread the us-versus-them mentality that is dividing friends, families, and our nation. And yet many of his followers remain blindly devoted. Behind this bizarre display of lies and narcissism there is a familiar pattern, of a cult leader and his followers.

Steven Hassan, one of America’s leading cult and mind control experts, will take us on a journey into the dark and dangerous world of mind manipulation, drawing parallels between Trump and notorious cult leaders. He’ll relate, compellingly and in disturbing detail, how Trump mirrors cult leaders both in his narcissistic personality and the influence and mind-control techniques he uses to keep his followers believing in him. 

Steven Hassan explains what 4th Generation Warfare is ... Instead of converting someone to your way of thinking, it discredits leaders, discredits institutions, discredits science, and discredits truth to disorient people and confuse people so they’d be more receptive to authoritarian indoctrination.
