![]() ![]() And when that does not happen, then Trump can deny ever saying such a thing, blame the Chinese, the Democrats or anyone else, instead of just saying he was wrong. In this way of thinking, if Trump says the coronavirus pandemic is just going to somehow get better then it is going to happen. That is a type of thinking which is very common to cults. It's been described as a type of solipsistic reality where Trump defines his own world and what is real or not. ![]() Trump was trained to be a magical thinker as a child. Peale taught magical thinking and that if a person just believed something 100%, God will magically make it come true. Trump grew up in the church of Norman Vincent Peale.
