Is Trump the leader of a cult?

No.

Cults are comprised of NON-THINKing people (the entire group).

Instead, Trump leads a populist movement (America First):

POPULISM: “A common framework for interpreting populism is known as the ideational approach: this defines populism as an ideology which presents “the people” as a morally good force and contrasts them against “the elite,” who are portrayed as corrupt and self-serving.”

Populism – Wikipedia

I say that populism is the polar opposite of NON-THINKism (a cult). Abraham Lincoln also led a populist movement.

“[…] that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
