Jewish friends, black friends, Latino friends, & female friends: Trump has expressed disdain for all of you. “Hitler did some great things” Yeah? Like what?
Why would you vote for this racist, misogynist orange man whose message is so dark, gloomy and divisive? Who describes other countries as garbage dumps?
Oh, the economy, you say? Huh?
The economy under Biden/Harris, according to the Wall Street Journal, is the best ever. Under trump, we lost jobs, we were schooled in injecting bleach to get rid of Covid, and we had trump with a black sharpie drawing the probable path of a hurricane that deviated from what the National Hurricane Center – the experts – had predicted.
The horrors at the border? Yeah? You’ve been there? Witnessed what Fox News describes?
C’mon, ladies! Your daughters and granddaughters are growing up with fewer rights than we had! You want to return to the 50s when a woman had to get a man’s permission to open a bank account? Dad, husband, brother, uncle, some guy.
But, oh, you know, Trump promises to protect all of us to the point where we’ll never have to vote again. He claims he’ll protect all women – whether they like it or not. Meaning what, exactly? More horrors from The Handmaid’s Tale?
Republicans claim to care about the unborn. But the truth is that once you’re born, you’re on your own. No guaranteed health or child care, no guaranteed three meals a day. In fact, you’ve got no guarantees in the Republican world.
Snap out it, people. Trump – and his VP Vance – have their eyes on dictatorship. This is the guy who calls Democrats the Fascists. A bit of projections there, huh?
The Piscean age is over. We’re in the age of Aquarius now, when equality is the norm, when women claim and express their power.
So here’s the inside of trump’s head on Halloween. Or maybe every day of the week.
Every day, I receive text messages and emails from people who are as terrified as I am about a trump win. They’re as bewildered as I am about why this guy has any supporters at all. Trump is a convicted felon – that alone should disqualify him from running for president – a perpetual liar, a sex offender who has been ordered to pay E Jean Carrol millions.
He’s also a grifter who has tried at various times to sell a trump bible (printed in China), golden sneakers with his name blazed across the sides, trump watches. And those are just the items that caught my attention. Google it. There were more grifter trump items.
My first intro to this guy was some years ago, when a yoga student of Rob’s invited us over to her place to have a bite of supper and find out about a new kind of phone. It was a a new type of video phone popularized by ACN, a marketing company that paid trump millions to promote.
I remember watching this stupid video and thinking, Huh? Who is this jerk? I’d never lived in NY or watched The Apprentice so this trump dude was new to me.
Then he became president, but only because he won the electoral college, which seems to be the main way that republicans win the presidency. And he’s still up to the same grifter stuff. Buy this, buy that, my stuff, my treasures can also be yours. Sure, gold sneakers with his name on the side for 300 bucks. A trump bible printed in China: yeah, sign me up.
I’m so bewildered by why anyone at any point in time supports this guy. I’m particularly interested in why Cubans seem to support him. They fled a brutal dictatorship under Castro, but are pro trump? Why? Project 2025 offers the same dictatorship, Trump himself disparages Latinos from every country – and apparently really pissed off Puerto Ricans with the latest display in Madison Square Gardens.
I taught English to Marielitos in the late 1980s. I heard their horror stories. I got to know many of them. They hated Castro. But now…are these supporters the children of those Marielitos? The grandchildren? If you speak Spanish, if you are brown or black or anything other than white, trump trashes you.
And then there’s women- brown women, black women, white women, every woman- whose right to make decisions about her own body was stripped from her with the overturn of Roe v. Wade. It means our daughter and granddaughters will be growing up with fewer rights than we had. So take note, people. If trump wins, he’s going to have the most extreme and hateful VP candidate in JD Vance as a VP, who probably will step into prez power at some point in the next four years.
And then we are really fucked.

Today, I stopped by the bank we’ve used for more than 30 years with a question about a charge to our money market account. The woman I spoke with was probably in her mid to late forties, pleasant, personable. She was a new employee, I think, I’d never seen her there before.
We talked about interest rates – this money market paid 4% – and when I mentioned what another bank pays, she seemed surprised. “Interest rates are coming down. I think it’s because of the election. You know, the uncertainty.” And the expression on her face just then – anguish, fear – told me she was a Kamala supporter.
I didn’t verify that by asking, but so far I haven’t seen trump supporters express anguish or fear of any kind. They, like trump himself, figure he has it all wrapped up, legally or illegally, they don’t care as long as he wins.
“I wish it was all done,” I remarked.
“God, me too.”
And then she refunded the charge to our money market account.
Before the election, I intend to return to the bank and ask her who she’s voting for – or voted for already – verifying it one way or another. I want to know if my reading of people is as flawed as my reading of trump’s astrology chart over the years.
I’ve spent a lot of time since 2015 staring at trump’s chart, running transits to it, progressions, solar returns, trying to determine what’s going to happen. But I can’t be objective about his chart or about him. I need to know if this is also true of my assessment of people I just meet.
My intuition screams at moments like this. But that doesn’t mean it’s correct. It’s just loud because it’s what I want – in this instance, a Harris/Walz win.
In one of my anti-trump posts, a man who was on our podcast whom I like, whose chart I did, whose artistic expressions awed me, said he was surprised that I didn’t recognize evil – i.e., the democrats, Harris/Walz. I replied that I could express the same surprise about him.
Sigh.
This is an excerpt from our latest book Mind-Blowing Synchronicities
November 7, 2020
Election Day was probably much different back in the days when families gathered around the radio in the living room to hear the results. But in the second decade of the 21st century, it was a blow by blow visual count of a vote in this state or that or how one candidate was lunging ahead and another was lagging behind. And in 2020, it was also about the losers hurling accusations about election fraud months before the election took place.
So, in the election of 2020, the stakes were high. Under Trump, the country had been locked inside a blender jammed in fast forward. Norms were shattered, the president was a pathological liar and narcissist, and people became divided. In the midst of all this bedlam, Covid appeared.
“Oops,” it seemed to say. “You idiots always need an enemy to fight against and argue about. So now it’s me. Where’d I come from? Am I a Chinese plot? And yeah, what about the mask and vaccine issues? Some of you scream, ‘It’s my body!’ Or: ‘It’s a conspiracy to control and watch us!’ And you refused vaccines. And many of you died.”
In the midst of this chaotic tragedy – when Dr. Deborah Birx was the administration’s corona virus coordinator- Trump tried to act like an expert. If you saw this Covid briefing, it’s probably stuck in your head. “The disinfectant says it knocks it out in a minute,” Trump said. “And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?’
Trump’s orange head is turned to his right, addressing the man who had just spoken – Bill Bryan, Under Secretary for Science and Technology at DHS. Google the You Tube video. It’s jarring.
Birx sat at the edge of the stage during all this, one hand covering her face. If she had spoken out then, if she’d interrupted to correct Trump, to make it clear that no one should inject or ingest any kind of disinfectant, if she’d defied him right then, the pandemic in the U.S. might have turned out differently. And Birx would have been fired in an episode worthy of The Apprentice. Instead, she wrote a book about it that was published in 2022.
Confronted with a force more powerful than he was, Trump just spouted bullshit and promised that by April of 2020, Covid would be history. That didn’t happen.
Dr. Fauci, the White House chief medical advisor, was also at that briefing about disinfectants. He looked appalled and disgusted. He later came out and warned the public not to use disinfectants against Covid. He was the sane voice during the pandemic but was attacked repeatedly through Fox News and the right wing media. He and his family received death threats as did election workers and others after the January 6 insurrection.
This is how trump operates. He believes he’s smarter than the experts, still a handsome stud, and that he’s going to save the country from – well, all those immigrants. Never mind that his wife is an immigrant, that most of us in this country are immigrants or descended from immigrants. He also boasts about how rich he is- and never mind that he has declared bankruptcy numerous times. Just about everything that comes out of trump’s mouth is a lie. You get the idea here.
Trump is the archetypal trickster.

On Friday evening, November 25, 2016, Fidel Castro passed away at the age of 90. He ruled Cuba for 47 years, a despot who jailed and killed those who spoke out against him and kept this island nation isolated from the rest of the world. Hundreds of thousands of Cubans fled the island in 1959 and again during the Mariel boatlift in the early 1980s.
The U.S. embargo against Cuba has been in place since 1962 and crippled the Cuban economy. In spite of that, Cuba has free medical care and free education through college and beyond. Food is often scarce, though, and according to Cuban friends who still have family on the island, life is hard in ways that most Americans can’t even imagine.
Relations between the two countries began to thaw in December 2014, thanks in large part to the facilitation of Pope Francis and the Canadian government. In March 2016, President Obama became the first U.S. president to visit Cuba since 1928.
With the death of a controversial figure like Castro, we started looking for the global synchronicities. One happened on November 28, 2016. As Cuba entered its first day of nine of the mourning period for Castro and the day of his funeral, American Airlines left Miami on its first commercial flight to Cuba in 55 years. It touched down in Havana at 8:25 a.m., a preliminary step in the thawing of relations between the two countries.
After that, other American airlines prepared for commercial travel from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando: Delta, Jet Blue, and Spirit Airlines, were among them. In many ways, this is a trickster synchro with a global twist: the Cuban dictator dies and the day of his funeral, the first commercial flight from the U.S. landed. One door shut, another opened.
But the open door didn’t last long. Trump’s stance on the thawing in U.S. Cuba relations was as one news site put it, “straight out of 1962.”
In February 2017, before Trump had the opportunity to ban American travel to the island again, Rob, Megan and I boarded a Jet Blue flight from Fort Lauderdale to Havana. There was something enormously exhilarating about it. You could feel it among the passengers, a kind of undercurrent of excitement and curiosity.
The plane landed 30 minutes later and the captain announced in both English and Spanish, “Welcome to Cuba.”
Applause and cheers erupted.
Castro probably turned in his grave.
