Trump Gets What He Wants By Using the Jedi Mind Trick

It’s worked on millions of people

Ever since Trump was elected in 2016, I’ve struggled to understand how so many people who call themselves Americans and so many who also identify as Christian, could support him.

I used to believe that he sold his soul to the devil. But that went out the window once I realized he was born without a soul.

I decided to dive into research in search of an answer. Though many mainstream researchers today utilize high-tech research tools such as, “Alexa,” I prefer to go old school and rely on the analog standby, my Magic 8 Ball. As a result, I’ve come to a conclusion.

I believe Trump uses what is essentially the Jedi Mind Trick.

You remember that from Star Wars, right? The Jedi can use the Force to implant a suggestion in the minds of those they encounter, encouraging them to comply with the Jedi’s wishes.

I remember it from Star Wars IV, when Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor’s make-up is amazing, transforming him into an older Obi-Wan that looks eerily like Alec Guinness), Luke, and his droids are entering a town.

They are stopped by Storm Troopers and Obi-Wan uses the Jedi Mind Trick and tells them, “These aren’t the droids you are looking for.” Of course, they are the droids the Troopers are looking for but the Troopers let them pass. The Troopers can’t see what’s right in front of them.

I believe that Trump possesses the same skill and has used it with great success on millions of people. But he has taken it a step further. Not only do people not see what is actually right in front of them, but he can also create the illusion that something exists that actually doesn’t.

That he possesses this skill shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’s been making people believe things that aren’t true since he was a kid.

As he grew into adulthood, he began expanding this skill in a variety of ways. In college, he found great success in making a number of people think they were taking their own exams when in reality they were taking his.

Beginning early in his business dealings he also found success in utilizing this natural ability by signing contracts for services with no intention of ever paying for them. When the service provider completed the agreed-upon work and requested payment, he would tell them that the only way they would get any portion of what was owed to them was by suing him for non-payment.

But that wasn’t enough for Trump.

According to Elmer Fuddkles, a classmate from college, Trump wasn’t satisfied with the deception skills he naturally possessed. He wanted to expand his powers. “At one point,” said Fuddkles, “he contacted Darth Vader, one of his idols, hoping he could teach him how to take this natural skill to the next level.”

But, said Fuddkles, Vader refused to work with Trump. “Vader told Donald, ‘First of all I’m tied up dealing with the pain in the ass Rebel Alliance. Second, I’m not cheap. But even if I had the time and you agreed to my fee, I still wouldn’t work with you. You have hundreds of lawsuits against you for non-payment of services. I’m not an idiot. Besides, you’re just an asshole.’”

“Donald was completely taken aback by Vader’s response,” recalled Fuddkles. “I remember he told me that his final words to Vader were, “Can I at least have one of your helmets?”

According to Fuddkles, Trump even reached out to Mr. Spock to see if he would teach him the Vulcan Mind Meld. “But he quickly gave up on that once he realized he had no interest in what anyone else was thinking.”

Eventually, Trump was using this skill in all interactions, including those in his personal life. In the early 2000s, after spending a couple of weeks in Russia with Melania as a guest of his good friend, Vlad, he invited her to America. Her response was a resounding, “Nyet!”

But then she agreed when he said he would pay her ten times her list price.

When she got to the States, he told her he would up the payment to twenty times her list price if she married him. Again, she agreed.

At their wedding reception, Melania asked Trump for the money. He refused, telling her that if she wanted her money she would have to sue him and that she’d have to get in line behind hundreds of others who already have lawsuits against him.

Trump has been extremely effective in using his mind manipulation skills with the masses. Though not everyone is susceptible, he’s made millions of people believe he is the smartest president in our history and that he is the only person alive to have the answers to all of our problems.

When he speaks in barely coherent English, he makes millions of people think they just heard something that rivals the Gettysburg Address.

He’s made millions of people believe that he cares for them when in reality he is clinically narcissistic and unable to care about anyone other than himself.

Millions see him as their savior, even though he did nothing during his term as president other than give tax breaks to the very wealthy and build a few feet of a very expensive and totally useless wall.

And, of course, he encouraged hundreds of insurrectionists to storm the Capitol and continues to perpetuate the “big lie,” making millions of people believe the 2020 election was stolen, simply because he said so and with all evidence to the contrary.

For the sake of the soul of the country, for the sake of Democracy, we need to help these people who have been put under his spell.

I’m pretty sure there is only one solution. I’m going to call the Men in Black and see if they can spare a bunch of neuralyzers.
