Trump ”Cult”: The C-word is back in vogue: Hour 2

Many on the Left end of the political spectrum have started using the C-word (i.e. “cult”) to describe former President Donald J. Trump as a “cult leader” and those who support him as “cult” follower. In fact, the whole MAGA movement is rife with “cultism.” But, are Donald Trump’s critics even aware of what a cult is, much less what they represent? Is Trump really comparable to Charles Manson? Has Trump ordered the execution of anyone? Has Trump “forced” ordered his followers to commit suicide? Or is that Trump’s critics are merely abusing a term, that was out of vogue only a few short years ago, to smear him and his followers? If so, how is that not cult-like in itself? Dr. Paul considers these questions, and others, to clarify what a religious cult is, as well as expose the ulterior for even using the term “cult” at all.
