Please hear my criticism of it with an open heart.
Conservatives should never get into the cult of personality and we know deep down inside it takes a lot more than one person to turn it around. Trump may help, but I seriously doubt it based on his previous positions / money support.
In reading Dr. Anthony's work and tweets, he has studied personalities for decades. He is very wary of Cruz and his personality. He also has seen the destruction of society through clever PSYOPs and sees Trump as one who is not susceptible to it. I take it as not so much a cult of personality, but rather seeing that there is someone out there who has the warrior personality to take on this fight.
Regarding his previous positions and money support: People's attitudes can change, once their eyes have been opened. As a businessman working in a corrupt city, I would imagine one might have to work around the corruption. I don't know if it is possible to do business in some cities without making donations. Remember, he did this as a businessman, and not as a politician, buying political favors for power. Do I like it that this might have happened? Of course not. But it probably is the reality of a corrupt process.
