On November 18, 1978, in Guyana, Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of the People's Temple knew his time was up. He had to commit suicide or face exposure and years in prison. But being a cruel and arrogant leader he would not die alone. Thus he forced over 900 men, women, and children to commit a willing or forced suicide by swallowing a flavored drink laced with potassium cyanide. Donald Trump is a very similar cult leader with millions of followers, none of whom he feels any affection for. They merely exist to fund his coffers or keep his ego inflated. Like Jim Jones, he will face a day of reckoning, and believing himself to be the most important person on earth, he will not face defeat and humiliation alone. But one cannot get millions of followers to ingest a poisoned drink. However if he is President or dictator at the time of his ultimate madness, he will have a nuclear arsenal.
