Trump’s Base a ‘Cult,’ Not Supporters, Says Expert
Author Tom Nichols argues that Donald Trump commands a "cult" rather than a traditional supporter base, making his followers highly resistant to factual challenges. He contrasts this with more transactional political relationships, suggesting Trump's base is less likely to waver. Nichols believes the key to future elections lies with the 65% of the electorate not in Trump's core group, who may be reconsidering their stance.
