there was the AK-47s and the massacre at the airport.

Trump's cult could easily follow that same historic path of cults i.e. Waco.

There is a chilling similarity with Charlie Manson and Trump. I've listened to Manson's past interviews. His lies, delusions, bully bullshit, and yes "charisma" are all very Trump-like.
