After my post detailing the Homeopathic remedy of Hilary Clinton, I decided to create Homeopathic profiles of other major US political figures.

The other figure in this election is of course, Donald Trump. Rivers of ink have been spilled in analysis of his Politics and political organization, or of the effect his candidacy has had on the political culture of the US. Recently, in these closing days of the election, blatant maneuvering from FBI bureaucrats and accusations of Witchcraft and Satanism have been leveled.

However, in Politics, particularly politics in this post modern age, personality matters greatly. Mr. Trumps personality looms large above his campaign, above policy, above his alliances with others, and even above his organization. Others have analyzed Trumps personality, and attempted a Homeopathic analysis. This analysis was lovely, and certainly bears a resemblance to Donald, maybe covering a more superficial remedy, or a remedy to treat his more current pathological state. however I did not feel this took into account some of Trump’s deeper issues, as evidenced by his discourse.

Trump has consistently emphasized several things. “Being a winner”, “Strength”, “Dealing from a position of Strength” all frequently appear in his words.  Among the greatest of his complaints are issues of fairness. He perceives many others, in the media and elsewhere as being unfair towards himself. It seems to me as if Mr Trump’s perception of himself is of great strength, potential and leadership, but that he is hobbled by others being unfair to him.

This combines with Mr Trumps emphasis on dominance and leadership to point towards the mammal remedies. I have used the recent book by the Joshis as a guide to this, as unfortunately my own writing on the Mammals has not yet commenced.

The specific issues of dominance and strength, as well as such predominant leadership interests seem to me to point to the large cats.This is further confirmed when we learn of the resistance and uncooperativeness of the large cats when they are unhappy. 2012_lion_gemsbokvlakte

In Particular, Mr Trump issues point to the remedy Lion’s milk, Lac leoninum. Lions perceieve themself as part of a group in which they are dominant, like the male lion in a pride ( also recalling Mr Trumps several marriages). According to the Joshis, the Lion lacks the normal mammal submissiveness, but rather percieves the group as dependent upon them. They delegate extensively ( see Mr Trumps expectation to delegate much of his presidency to his Vice President, Pence). They have a particular affinity for crisis, feeling the need to rise to prominence during times of crisis (such as running for the presidency during a time of malaise).

They are extremely protective of others, but can be very aggressive towards others who threaten their authority. They also have a pattern of self destructiveness, the Syphilitic miasm in Homeopathy, a tendency towards self destructive behaviors and attitudes. The issue in Lions seems to be the perception that they should be dominant and in charge, but that a number of other smaller and weaker individuals are ganging up on them in an attempt to overpower them. They percieve this as extensively unfair and can react very aggressively and even self destructively to this.

Trump, out of the three major figures in this election, is easily the least developed and the most enmeshed and affected by his state. He appears to frequently react from his state, moving to counter issues of fairness towards himself immediately and powerfully, often to the detriment of his own campaign (his twitter feud with the Khans come to mind) .  However, like all of us, he has the potential to grow considerably if he can obtain proper treatment of his state, and move into his true self. While coverage of Mr Trump has focused on his many episodes of reacting to his state, beneath his reactivity, there is good potential for leadership, even potential for greatness if he chooses to utilize it.

I happen to think that the best leadership comes from individuals who are able to express their true selves, rather than reacting to their states. This is accessible to everyone, no matter how distorted their life circumstances or previous choices are. I hope whomever wins the election next week has the chance to live in this manner, for the good of everyone in their country and in the world as a whole.
