What does Trump’s alleged cult of personality consist of? Please cite examples.
Trump’s past is known and quite public. Obama is still a veritable mystery man, which reminds me of a description Hermann Goering had of Adolf, “the unknown corporal”.
Lack of “political record” does not bother me in particular, especially in the face of entrenched DC leftism that tends to eat away at and exclude conservatism in the Beltway; but the fact is that from the little known of Obama, he certainly did have a “political record” albeit mostly consisting of agitation.
None of that solidifies Trump as a candidate for me, of course. He has a long way to go; but the fact that the left fears and smears so much is not a negative and reveals at least some things about how Trump would govern.

I think Trump’s political record is mostly one of cozying up to government for favors or just to get stuff done. I believe one of the reason he cited for being a Democrat was to purchase favors from Democrat politicians (including the Clintons).
As you might guess, no matter how much I like what Trump is saying about illegal immigration, he makes me nervous. America is due for its “man on horseback” and Trump might be it.
