Introduction
Today, I want to do a quick three-card spread on an article I saw on the news. Trump is now in the business of selling Bibles. But the question I had was why? Now, I must also remain unbiased and let the cards speak, keeping my opinions out.
To set the record straight, it's important to address a fundamental belief. I believe all political parties are two sides of the same coin. They're filled with corruption and disconnected from the concerns of the people and the nation itself. With that in mind, let's explore what insights we can gain from this tarot reading that goes beyond the political divide.
The Spread
In the first position, the 13, the death card. I will get to this theme in a minute.
The next card, the King of Cups, with the Page of Wands to clarify. This position represents what he might consider blockers or what he must be mindful of with his new adventure.
Third, Temperance Reversed, the fourteen. This position becomes his path to selling Bibles and helps explain why.
Overall Theme
The 13, the death card. Trump realizes he must position himself as the savior in America's darkest hour. Selling Bibles becomes the key to helping people transform into a positive headspace. That's what 13 is all about: a transformation through hardship. And, right now, the country is on the decline. With an election around the corner and inflation at an all-time high, the American people need a hero to save them from themselves. They see Biden as the destroyer, an agent of the devil. And due to this, Trump is positioned as the one to raise people from the dead, a transformation.
Overcome Blockers
And how can this be accomplished?
The King of Cups. This card represents the master of the suit as he understands emotions and how to leverage them. And with the Page to clarify if it's a situation or a person, it shows a person, or in this position, people. The King knows that with a Bible in hand, he can pull the heartstrings of many to change their mindset about his past actions. When Trump pushed the experiment across the United States under the guise of Operation Warp Speed, a program run under the DOD, many turned their back on him. Then, when he converted to Judaism during his term, he took another hit on his voting base. So then, what better way to gain the love of those who may have left and are seeking someone else to save them? The trump card, Bibles and religion. That's how you win an election, and he knows it. In addition, each sale can be used for his campaign, and because he's selling Bibles, I can see churches and religious organizations buying these in masses.
And, as the King of Cups, he's highly creative and knows how to win people's support.
Path Forward
Now, the path. This is interesting as we see Temperance Reversed, the fourteen. In the upright position, it's about balance. But reversed, it's not balanced. And since it's a major arcana card, it's on the spiritual plane, not earthly. So, then, he knows he can use the hardship people face daily under the current administration for his gain. He'll make promises like before and rely on people being patient for him to deliver. Unfortunately, people have a short memory and don't remember things said or done in the past. And again, the masses will eat his words hook, line and sinker.
That is how he'll sell millions of books and reposition himself to take back what many believe was stolen. And from those who read the good book, the "Thou shalt not" verses will become the slogan to re-unite those who turned away and those on the fence. Because, as according to them, isn't that how you make America great again?
Numerology
To wrap this up, let's look at the numbers in the spread.
We have 13 + 14, which equals 27. When we add 2 + 7 together, we get nine, which is the overall theme in this read.
The nine is all about attainment and progress forward. So, through these Bibles, Trump believes he'll be victorious and win over the American people. Right now, the nation feels darkness around every corner, especially as the citizens watch their country given away to the highest bidder.
That's how I read, why Trump wants to sell bibles. Profit over people, even in the darkest hour.
