To some degree. As I said, in a democracy you have to build a bunch of voters that like you. If you define personality cult a bit off, the above statement could very well be true. I suspect Trump's followers are a bit different. Members of the press who strive to articulate that difference came up with personality cult.

I would add that revolutionary leaders form personality cults too. You have to to lead any major violent action. It is part of the job. Lenin, Mao, Castro... All in their own way had followers. Of course, in time the attraction became poorer among the workers, greater among the Communist elites who came to control the means of production. But, it is the same thing.
