This is the best book I have read that explains what Donald Trump is doing to influence his followers. ( ) Hassan, after being "deprogrammed" when he left a cult, became a psychologist whose work focuses on deprogramming and healing former cult members. He makes a fair case that Donald Trump employs, knowingly or not, many of the tactics that cult leaders like Jim Jones and David Koresh used to recruit and exploit the people who became their followers. Hassan explains each technique and illustrates Mr, Trump's use of them. He also offer what strike me as reasonable suggestions for speaking to diehard Trump supporters, beginning with offering them respect and attentively listening rather than trying to argue with them. It seems to me that such an approach will at least bear the fruit of increasing civil discourse. no reviews | add a review
