Summary
<p>Host Reed Galen is joined by Dr. Steven Hassan, a cults & undue influence expert and mental health professional to discuss the cult of cults that surrounds Donald Trump, why the ideas and actions of Donald Trump are attractive to so many Americans and the Republican party, and what prescriptions can be used to dismantle the “Cult of Trump”. In 1974, at the age of 19, Dr. Hassan was recruited into the Unification Church of Sun Myung Moon. After more than two years, his family successfully deprogrammed him from the cult. This experience led him to his work helping save others caught by the predatory influence of cult leaders. He is the founding director of the Freedom of Mind Resource Center (<a href="http://freedomofmind.com">freedomofmind.com</a>) and has published an array of papers, articles, and books on the subject of cults & undue influence...including his most recent book, The Cult of Trump.</p> <p> </p><p>Learn more about your ad choices.
