Summary
Steve Hassan, author of 'The Cult of Trump' considers the psychology of the devotees of Donald Trump. What are they likely to do if Trump does not win reelection?
Trump's valet has tested positive for Covid. But what is up with a man who tests everyone around him, but won't help the rest of America have access to testing? Maybe we shouldn't be surprised this is how grifters do things. Why can't much of America recognize Trump's sociopathy and respond accordingly? Are we even in a Manchurian candidate situation, but can't recognize it? Or will America join Trump's call for us all to become warriors, and risk our lives going back to work to get the money machine running again for the billionaires?
What can we do? Let's all be infectious and help spread Progressive media!
