Trump has a long history of disparaging military service

Of course he has. His offensive comments are public knowledge.
It is rather astonishing that Trumplkins seem OK with all of that. That is what he is counting on.......their gullibility.
Veterans adoring a man who calls them "suckers" and "losers."

Evangelical Christians adoring a man who raw-dogged a porn star whilst his wife was recovering from giving birth to his son.

"Fiscal conservatives" adoring a man who has forever shattered the notion that we might ever turn in a balanced budget.

Economic conservatives adoring a man whose tenure has fallen short of the performance of his Kenyan Muslim socialist predecessor in every category except some measures of Dow performance.

Women adoring a man who regards them as f*ckable or worthless.

This is a cult of personality. People supporting and adoring things they've stood against their whole lives are a symptom. Scientology. David Koresh. Charles Manson. Keith Raniere.

Check out this checklist of characteristics of a cult leader from Psychology Today:

He has a grandiose idea of who he is and what he can achieve.
Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, or brilliance.
Demands blind, unquestioned obedience.
Requires excessive admiration from followers and outsiders.
Has a sense of entitlement—expecting to be treated as special at all times.
Is exploitative of others by asking for their money or that of relatives, putting others at financial risk.
Is arrogant and haughty in his behavior or attitude.
Has an exaggerated sense of power (entitlement) that allows him to bend rules and break laws.
Takes sexual advantage of members of his sect or cult.
Sex is a requirement with adults and sub adults as part of a ritual or rite.
Is hypersensitive to how he is seen or perceived by others.
Publicly devalues others as being inferior, incapable, or not worthy.
Makes members confess their sins or faults, publicly subjecting them to ridicule or humiliation while revealing exploitable weaknesses of the penitent.
Has ignored the needs of others, including: biological, physical, emotional, and financial needs.
Is frequently boastful of accomplishments.
Needs to be the center of attention and does things to distract others to ensure that he or she is being noticed, e.g., by arriving late, using exotic clothing, overdramatic speech, or by making theatrical entrances.
Has insisted on always having the best of anything (house, car, jewelry, clothes) even when others are relegated to lesser facilities, amenities, or clothing.
Doesn’t seem to listen well to needs of others; communication is usually one-way, in the form of dictates.
Haughtiness, grandiosity, and the need to be controlling is part of his personality.
Behaves as though people are objects to be used, manipulated or exploited for personal gain.
When criticized he tends to lash out not just with anger but with rage.
Anyone who criticizes or questions him is called an “enemy.”
Refers to non-members or non-believers as “the enemy.”
Acts imperious at times, not wishing to know what others think or desire.
Believes himself to be omnipotent.
Has “magical” answers or solutions to problems.
Is superficially charming.
Habitually puts down others as inferior; only he is superior.
Has a certain coldness or aloofness about him that makes others worry about who this person really is and or whether they really know him.
Is deeply offended when there are perceived signs of boredom, being ignored or of being slighted.
Treats others with contempt and arrogance.
Is constantly assessing people to determine those who are a threat or those who revere him.
The word “I” dominates his conversations. He is oblivious to how often he references himself.
Hates to be embarrassed or fail publicly; when he does he acts out with rage.
Doesn’t seem to feel guilty for anything he has done wrong nor does he apologize for his actions.
Believes he possesses the answers and solutions to world problems.
Believes himself to be a deity or a chosen representative of a deity.
"Rigid," "unbending," or "insensitive" describes how this person thinks.
Tries to control others in what they do, read, view, or think.
Has isolated members of his sect from contact with family or the outside world.
Monitors and/or restricts contact with family or outsiders.
Works the least but demands the most.
Has stated that he is “destined for greatness” or that he will be “martyred.”
Seems to be highly dependent on tribute and adoration and will often fish for compliments.
Uses enforcers or sycophants to ensure compliance from members or believers.
Sees self as “unstoppable” and perhaps has even said so.
Conceals background or family, which would disclose how plain or ordinary he is.
Doesn’t think there is anything wrong with himself and in fact sees himself as perfection or “blessed.”
Has taken away followers' freedom to leave, to travel, to pursue life and liberty.
Has isolated the group physically (moved to a remote area) so as to not be observed.

All one has to do is read Mary Trump's book, and it's obvious that Fred Trump Sr not only refused to discipline his son's antisocial behavior, but encouraged it. The results speak for themselves.
Exactly...!!!Psychopaths have an ability to gather a group of people to follow them...... Trump's coarseness appeals to many as different , his manipulative behavior cons them......so they buy into what he is selling. He makes his pathology work for him in convincing many into supporting his ideology........ which in reality has no substance. When this kind of person is granted that much power........ we see the results as they have unfolded in the USA in the past four years. Trump has already left a profound mark on the nation and most of it is destructive but to benefit HIM. He can label himself whatever he wants...........it has no substance to it as he has no depth in order to formulate proper policy. He is a dictator at heart. and has changed the GOP into something unrecognizable. He is trying to destroy the other party . (completely , if he has his way)

Read the freakin' article Wally, instead of asking stupid questions.
Read it and the newest accusation is from 2014.
The former employees who spoke to The Post all described donations they gave between 2003 and 2014, before Trump’s first White House run. By 2016, DeJoy had sold the company and retired.

So the guy who swallowed the lies about where Barack Obama was in 1961 thinks 2014 is too far back to worry about?

What a simpleton.
