I don't like Trump as you know, but I'm not comparing him to Jim Jones.  My friend Gary went too far.   

That being said, there are many things that would scare the heck out of me if I allowed myself to pick the worst of all possible outcomes.   It's not hard to draw links between loosely related people/events with that fall in love with conspiracy theory.     

The ill Glen Beck loved to draw lines., often wildly filling his show's stage.   So did Russell Crowe in "A Beautiful Mind" portraying schizphrenic John Nash.   I was a bit surprised the more people didn't see the Beck/Nash comparison.   Yet both men had very succesfull careers at points of their life. 

I'm not willing to let Trump off the hook by implying mental illness.   He's a big boy,  he can take full responsibility for his statements.  (Often taken out of context, such as the event with the crying baby, he was goofin' on that one),
