Donald Trump's disturbing past in a cult-like church may explain his current delusional nature.



According to Steven Hassan, a former member of a cult known as "the Moonies," Trump's childhood pastor in New York City could have influenced the candidate's infamous ego.

"The other night before the debate [on Sunday], I was watching 'Frontline' with my wife, and they were doing a historical background on Hillary and him," Hassan, who now counsels cult survivors, told Revelist. "What I didn’t know about him, which I think is very relevant, is that he grew up in a church in New York city, where Norman Peale was the pastor—the guy who wrote 'The Power of Positive Thinking.'"
