Trump is the healer.
As anyone pushing our buttons, he shows us what’s left. He shows us our wounds, traumas, and hangups.
And that can be very healing if we let it. In this case, it’s specifically an invitation to see where we stop ourselves from speaking up and acting to prevent harm from happening to others.
Some more things that come to mind:
I would never want him as a leader of anything, but now that he is…. how can I make the best out of it?
How am I like him? What do I see in him? (A bully, bigot, racist, xenophobe, habitual liar.) Where can I find that in my own life, with specific examples?
How do I let other bully me into being inauthentic? What are the fears? What do I find when I explore these? (Using The Work, Living Inquiries etc.)
When I use ho’oponopono, tonglen, loving kindness practice or similar on him, those supporting him, those harmed by his actions, and myself, what do I notice? Where is there resistance? What’s the fear? How is it to meet and inquire into that fear?
Trump may not last long, but while he is president, he can be a great healer…. if we allow him to be. He can mobilize many of us to action on behalf of dignity, life, earth, and future generations. He can be a mirror for ourselves, showing us what’s left.

- trump is the healer
- people who trigger us is the healer, shows us what’s left, wounds/trauma, where we are not solid etc.
- individual level, can only do what they do bc something in us is not healed
- trump shows the US the wounds, trauma, etc.
- and is only the healer if we allow healing, use it for healing, to bring awareness into the wounds, meet it in presence/kindness etc.
Trump is the healer.
And he is so in a very specific sense.
