In the social media era, witchcraft has cast a spell on millions, with the #WitchTok hashtag on TikTok racking up billions of views. Yet, for witches hoping to hex their least favorite political figure, Donald Trump, the supernatural powers may be going…supernaturally silent. As the presidential election nears, groups of witches have been gathering over Zoom, armed with orange candles, tarot cards, and an unflattering Trump photo, chanting “You’re fired!” to block his return to the White House. Led by an online witch with 25,000 subscribers, the group is dedicated to a mystical showdown. But, reports suggest their magic might be fizzling out, leading some to believe Trump is somehow “shielded.”
Online forums and Reddit threads are alive with frustrated witches sharing the challenges of breaking through what they suspect is some form of protective barrier. One witch commented that Trump’s “shield” may be reinforced by the prayers of his supporters, while others warn that hexing him might backfire by feeding his energy. This isn’t the first mystical attempt to thwart Trump, as witches have reportedly aimed spells at him since he first entered politics. Meanwhile, former practitioners, like Christian minister Jenny Weaver, caution that dabbling in the occult can lead to darkness and terror, recalling her own experiences of supernatural distress. For now, witches are pivoting to spells of protection—for themselves—until they can crack Trump’s “mystical immunity.”
