  1. What did Trump do, to have gained such loyalty and hero worship? He's physically repulsive; wears orange face paint (or whatever that is); he gives massive tax breaks to the wealthy; etc. And it's not as if he gradually gained their hero worship over this term. He has always had it. Not right away, though. Even Fox wasn't exactly for him, when he first started running. But, somehow, that ambivalence transmogrified into Trump being "sent by God." Somehow, Lindsey Graham, and all the other Republicans, who were against him at first, became his mouthpieces. I just don't get it.

  2. "He’ll probably have a cult of personality like Reagan does." That's really good insight, and something I haven't considered. The myth of Reagan dominates in Republican minds. Who he was, and what he did, doesn't even play into it. I can see Trump becoming such a mythical hero. Republicans will pass down the propaganda, not the history. And Reagan had nowhere near the propaganda machine that's used by Trump. Many of Trump's supporters believe God sent Trump. Think of that. He is their messiah (which means "anointed by God").
