  1. The true character of a person will always be revealed when they are faced with a crisis or adversity. And the eternal question will always be, when it truly mattered, what did they do? Did they do the right thing?  So far, Trump has consistently failed at every juncture. At a time when America needed a leader the most, Trump failed. He failed at the moment of truth. Trump is the type of sea Captain that would quietly abandon a sinking ship all  by himself, and leave everyone else on board to go down with the ship, because he didn't want to cause a panic.. Trump: "I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic.” Trump’s whole campaign is based on causing panic and mass hysteria. He's basically told his base that the worst parts of Revelations will come true if he's not reelected. But yet he claims he doesn't want to create a panic.😞Hmmm.. Allan Lichtman, the historian known for accurately predicting presidential elections, said that Trump’s downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic will be remembered as “the greatest dereliction of duty” in presidential history.

  2. At a Trump rally held by Steve Bannon in March of 2018. an angry and hostile woman took the mic and said, “Never in my life did I think I would like to see a dictator, but if there’s gonna be one, I want it to be Trump!!!” which was met with loud cheers and applause from Bannon and the crowd of cultists. It goes without saying that any American who would cheer for that, doesn't believe in liberty, freedom, or the Constitution. Any American that would cheer for that,  clearly supports despotism and dictatorships. Trump's cultists don't want an elected official to govern on behalf of the people, they wants, which is to be an authoritarian dictator who will force his will on the nation, and punish anyone who doesn't submit to dogmatic obedience. A cult of personality, or a cult leader like Trump, arises when an individual uses propaganda, the big lie, spectacle, counterfeit patriotism, demonstrations and rallies, to create an idealized heroic, and worshipful image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery, and praise. The term came to prominence in 1956, in Nikita Khrushchev's secret speech On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences, given on the final day of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In the speech, Khrushchev criticized the lionization and idealization of Stalin, and by implication, his Communist sidekick Mao Zedong. Mao's cult of personality, like Stalin’s, portrayed him as larger-than-life and endowed with unrivaled wisdom. Cults of personality fell out of favor in the 1950s after Khrushchev's speech, but Trump's handler Putin, has revived the practice, guiding a wave of nostalgia for Stalin as he advocates for Russian nationalism and anti-West sentiment. A main feature of Stalinism was its cult of personality. Whereas Lenin had claimed that the workers suffered from false consciousness and therefore needed a vanguard party to guide them, Stalin maintained that the Communist Party itself suffered from false consciousness and therefore needed an all-wise leader—Stalin himself—to guide it. The resulting cult of personality portrayed Stalin as a universal genius in every subject, from linguistics to genetics. Before Trump, the best modern-day example of a cult of personality came to us from North Korea and Kim Jong-un, the despotic dictator that Trump admires so much. Kim Jong-un's cult of personality paints him as a man who can do anything. According to this propaganda, he can climb tall mountains, even though like Trump, he is horrendously obese, and in terrible physical shape. Like Trump, Kim Jong Un brags about being able to make strong and intelligent military decisions, despite neither one of them having a military background. And when architects design new apartments and shops, he is given credit for doing so. "This man is a genius at every level! Why can't we all be like him? He must be something special, and we are clearly not. Ergo, let's listen to him since he knows best." -- Trump supporters
