Trump's a practical businessman who built a small empire of his own and achieved celebrity status by creating his own hit show who took a major cut in pay and a reduction in lifestyle to serve as our President.
I don’t see any part of the government or major party in the US as classically indoctrinating, except the military boot camps. Those would be pretty close. It changes how someone responds within an organization, but it doesn’t fit the personality cult thing.
Trump saying that he is the only one who can do X… and people believe him? People believing that the Great Leader is unique and exalted? The Great Leader believing it and expecting a slavish response and loyalty? That might be close.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
