Yes, Trump has some fanatical support. Big deal -- so do all dictators of the modern era. Such dictators offer excitement instead of solutions. They find enemies in anyone who says 'no'; enemies of the Great and Infallible Leader are thus Enemies of the People.
Yes, there's a group of politicians in congress that is guilty of doing that but the group isn't associated Donald Trump. It's the group associated with you that's out for Trump's head. Back in the old days, they'd be free to convict and hang him and I'd be free to uphold the law and shoot them for trying to do it. Funny that you mention cult, I've always viewed the liberals as a cult in regards to their beliefs and behavior. Well, Americans as a general rule aren't into cults. Hint...I don't see Trump going into his second term with the power that Obama had coming in to his first term.
