He and the audience feed off the wild testosterone in the air. Total social psychology with mob mentality.

A Warning.

Trump tactics and rallies are straight out of the playbooks of Mussolini and Hitler. Pretend to represent the disaffected working person. Anti immigrant, anti intellectual or elite, press is the enemy of the people, push divisiveness, violence, hatred and lies.

It's all very scary. Trump is a wannabe dictator. No doubt. He has conned 60 million people in this country and if we don't stop him by electing Dems in November who will stand up to him, this country will descend into the depths of fascism.

It ain't gonna be pretty, folks.
