Topic: The strong historical roots of forces that propelled Donald Trump to the White House. Dr. Meek gave a very interesting talk on the rise of Donald Trump with an assessment of the nature, development, and context of the Trump base.

4 Page 4 The questions/comments following Dr. Meek s talk were reflective of the height of interest triggered in the Membership. As her research centers on terrorism, extremism, cults, and the media, it would be interesting to hear her take on the recent white supremacy activity and controversy. GCC President Doug Acton expresses appreciation to Dr. Meek on behalf of the Membership. More from the June Meeting at WOS/OM GCC President Doug Acton welcomes new Member, Phil Dean.
