It's not even so much his political stance as his lunatic ravings about it: there's not a drop of policy in his talk about trump, it's all weird mysticism about how persuasive a personality trump has, sort of reminds me of the way PUA types talk.

Indeed. He doesn't even endorse Trump so much as praise his hypnotic influence. Very strange things to hear about anyone. If you heard someone praise Elon Musk or Barack Obama as having a masterful way of manipulating people, and they kept bringing it up over and over... You'd assume they were nuts.

What's a PUA type?

PUA = pick up artist. There's a whole subculture that is somewhat terrifying.
