collected by :Tod Hinery

Donald Trump is akin to a cult leader and his supporters are reminiscent of disciples of a sect, according to a religious studies scholar. "The authority that a cult leader exercises comes from his self-ascribed role as the one true information source for his followers. In the tape, President Trump could be heard bragging about groping and making unwanted advances on women and saying he was such a "star" that he could grab women "by the p***y".

His comments were triggered by President Trump insulting London mayor Sadiq Khan and promoting his travel ban in the immediate wake of the terror attack in London Bridge.


North Korea 'trying to work out if Donald Trump is crazy', says US negotiator

Pyongyang wants to know if US President Donald Trump is "crazy", according to a senior US academic who has held secret back channel talks with North Korean officials four times over the past year.

In meetings spanning Geneva, Pyongyang, Oslo and Moscow, North Koreans have focused on the president's "erratic behaviour," she said. "They really want to know what his end game is."They have raised Mr Trump's domestic troubles, including the investigation into possible campaign collusion with Russia and its potential threat to his presidency, and questioned Mr Trump's undercutting of his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, asking if it is a game of "good cop, bad cop". For years Ms DiMaggio, who specialises in talking with rogue regimes, and Joel Wit, a former US diplomat who founded the influential North Korea-monitoring website 38North, have been quietly meeting the North Koreans to talk about their nuclear programme.

The President of the United States has misled or lied more than 1,600 times since January 20. "Fake news," Moore insisted -- and lots and lots of people believe him.
