CNN: "Trump cast himself as a Messiah-like figure backed by a committed movement." Hahahahahaha...

See http://www.cnn.com/

The man is a complete lunatic.

Spouting insane conspiracy theories.

Attacking leaders in his own party.

Denying what he has bragged about.

He truly does think he's untouchable, can do no wrong, is all powerful, is justified in anything he does or says, has the RIGHT to do anything he wants TO anyone he wants, and that, yes, he walks on water. He is a very delusional individual. And a dangerous individual. This guy has no business being anywhere near the White House. He belongs in an asylum.

"I am your messiah, and I will save you."

That was my impression of the message he conveyed as he spoke to the crowd.
And of course, they whooped and hollered and sucked it right in.
