Cohen compares Trump to cult leader

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, compared the president to a cult leader in an interview with NBC set to air Tuesday evening.

"I describe Mr. Trump as a cult leader, and I was in this cult," Cohen, referring to his book, "Disloyal," told NBC's Lester Holt.

"While I was in the cult, I was really refusing to acknowledge that the actions I was performing for my boss were morally wrong," Cohen added.

Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison for tax evasion and campaign finance violations in 2018. He was released into house arrest due to the coronavirus pandemic, before being rearrested. He filed a lawsuit arguing his return to prison was an attempt to prevent him from releasing the book, with a judge finding in his favor in late July.

4. That's exactly what is going on.

I've had an academic interest in cults for thirty-plus years, and I've said since the last campaign that Trump supporters were acting like cult members.
