Trump Praises Hannibal Lecter for Helping Him Win Reelection

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Trump lauded the serial killer while speaking at the National Republican Congressional Committee dinner, calling him a "very important force" in his reelection campaign.
46% : Trump loved his error-ridden Silence of the Lambs bit so much that he even included it in his nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
44% : But sure -- it seems that repeatedly telling a colorful, incoherent lie to demonize migrants might have helped Trump get reelected.
30% : Trump did not mention Lecter in his inaugural address, and in recent months it almost seemed as if he'd forgotten about his cannibal friend.
21% : This wouldn't be that surprising since Trump often speaks about the serial killer, who was invented by the author Thomas Harris, as if he were a real person.
17% : While Trump often claimed Lecter was a big MAGA guy, no actor who played him ever praised Trump, and several vocally opposed him.
16% : Trump said, according to Mediaite: They used to go crazy when I talked about -- when I talk about Hannibal Lecter.
