The problem with irony is that it takes a base level of intelligence to recognize it. Thus it is lost on people like the OP.

Actually I prefer Zebra Cakes, thank you very much.

And once again the irony of your post is lost on you because you have the intelligence of a 4th grader.

I see the cult of the personality is up early today.....EBT benefits running low?

CULT?????................You want to address a cult mentality?


The dangerous cult of Donald Trump

Of course, Trump cult members on here will deride this article…and who can blame them…..But please look at the avatars that some posters have adopted amd some of the screen names used by these posters.

Anyway, the following excerpts from some of the “prominent” Trump supporters, show the CULT-mentality that prevails……..and the real danger that such a mind-set poses to our democracy.

There’s been a cultish quality to President Trump’s most ardent supporters. He seemed to acknowledge the phenomenon when he boasted that he could “stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody” and not lose voters.



Throughout the campaign, and in personal appearances since then, Trump has harnessed the kind of emotional intensity from his base that is more typical of a religious revival meeting than a political rally, complete with ritualized communal chants ("Lock her up!").



The word "cult" in its pejorative sense, means a deeply insular social group bound together by extreme devotion to a charismatic leader. Such groups tend to exhibit a few common characteristics.



They are usually formed around an individual whom they've elevated to prophetic and near divine status.



During the campaign, Franklin Graham,Trump's most enthusiastic evangelical Christian supporter, dismissed his many moral failings by comparing him favorably to the flawed patriarchs and prophets of the Bible: Abraham, Moses and David.



Robert Jeffress, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, told a talk radio audience that Trump was a better presidential candidate than someone who "embodies the teaching of Jesus" because Trump fit the biblical preference for a "strongman" in government.



Frank Amedia, an Ohio pastor who briefly had ties to the Trump campaign, explicitly cast the president as a prophet receiving divine revelations: "I believe he receives downloads that now he's beginning to understand come from God."



The authority that a cult leader exercises comes from his self-ascribed role as the one true information source for his followers. Competing ideas and facts are not just wrong; they are demonic.


That some of Trump's supporters view the president in cosmic terms is clear.

A month after the inauguration, Pat Robertson said those who oppose Trump are "revolting against what God's plan for America is."

Paula White, the pastor of New Destiny Christian Center in Florida and a Trump spiritual advisor, recently told her congregation that resisting Trump is tantamount to "fighting against the hand of God."

Trump's truest believers have sounded downright apocalyptic:



"This is not a battle between Republicans and Democrats," Jeffress said in 2016. "It's a battle between … righteousness and unrighteousness, light and darkness."



Amedia declared that God personally told him that Trump's presidency was paving the way for the Second Coming.



If Trump's presidency deteriorates further, expect the religious fervor of many of his followers to reach a fever pitch. That poses a risk for the country. Because the only thing more dangerous than a cult leader is a cult leader facing martyrdom.



The dangerous cult of Donald Trump

I remember elementary kids were made to sing songs praising Obama. That's sick.

I am continuously amazed at the lengths sycophants will go to in order to defend Trump's unhinged behavior.

Maybe he should have a beer summit.

Made ya look....

Whatever qualities the ordinary American believes a President should have, we know what we don't like. While #45 may be crude and rude and unaware of parts of the legal system, at least he acts like a grown man instead of a preening dipshit teenager:

Whenever you cringe at something Trump says or does, remember what we had before.

Nobody says that the reason why Trump acts like a childish moronic puppet of Putin is the fact that he makes faces and holds selfie sticks in a silly way. This is a strawman thread.
Trump is a childish moronic puppet of Putin because he's Putin's puppet and calls poor countries "shitholes" and argues with moms of dead soldiers, etc. etc.

He still brings up putin, which only indicates what these parrots are still listening to on their drugged out marxist news sources.

Ted Frazier, the dumbest poster on here. Even dumber than white left wing American women. Wow, that is really stupid.

LOL.... wow. This makes you feel better about supporting Trump? Weak.

No maybe because the economy is booming, taxes are down, jobs are coming back, and wages are going up. Something we didn't see under Obama. He told us jobs are gone and not coming back. Well thankfully Trump is proving him wrong.

This is how liberals portrayed Obama, while elementary kids sang songs praising him.

You're offering this post up as an excuse for accepting Trump's insanity. No thanks.

And no, I can't be bought off with money, like so many Republican lap-dogs.

Liberals still bitch about Bush. Lol

Trump is doing a great job, and he is fine. It's liberals who are losing their minds, and it's very amusing.

Insanity were Obama supporters. Tingle up the leg. Making elementary students sing songs praising Obama. One reporter I remember said Obama had to be smart because how defined the crease in his pants were. I mean you people worshipped that man.

Adults singing make America great again. Compared to elementary kids forced to sing songs about praising a man? Really?
