In the last two days, the
GOPTrump Cult has hailed Trump as King (with hints of divine right):

President Trump. We're already past peak adoration. Trump is expected to govern. He gets a lot of devotion, but no more than any other beloved and respected President. He's treated by his followers much like FDR, Kennedy, Reagan, and Obama were by there most ardent supporters.
Führer Trump. Trump the autocrat. The Red Hats become a social movement. Followers are irrational. Striking out at non-believers becomes common and acceptable. Open clashes with critics as violence and abuse of the law are used against them.
Kim Jong-Trump. Trump the monarch. Near-deification. Statues and images everywhere. Ludicrous paens to his superhuman abilities. There's at least some connection to reality and existing order, even if twisted beyond belief. Public criticism of Trumpism is
verboten.
God-King Trump. Trump the pharaoh. His cult becomes completely disconnected from reality. Open Trump-worship, identification with Jesus, etc. Utter rejection of the Republic and democracy. Open embrace of theocratic Trumpocracy. Nation is forcibly converted to Trump-worship.
