The Cult of Trump: A Leading Cult Expert Explains How the President Uses Mind Control by Steven Hassan
3.0
An interesting take from a person who's spent their entire professional life helping people exit cults.
I'm not entirely sold on the author's position that Trump is some kind of brainwashing genius. I was much more interested in the chapters that cover the more systemic aspects of America's right wing media echo chamber, and the fundamentalist religious cults that thrive in it.
