A Hungry Ghost in the White House?

[guyfriday]

there is no way that the ghost that has been reported in the residential floor is Abe Lincoln since the entire White House was gutted after his death. FDR was the one who did it, so I would suspect that it's either something that Elinor Roosevelt summoned or it's a spirit that might not be what people think it is. After all, didn't Abe Lincoln write that the day he was shot he saw a spirit in the mirror that seemed to have been a harbinger of doom. 

If that Lincoln story is true, then how could the spirit be of old Abe given that Abe saw the spirit? No, it's something else. There was an interview that George HW Bush where he was asked about the ghost and he was clear when he said that it wasn't something he recognized. Like him or not, I think Bush 1 would have known what Abe Lincoln looked like, so what did he see?

I'm not one to believe that ghosts are living beings with needs, wants, or desires.

That would totally destroy any utility in death. Like why bother dying if nothing changes except the possibility of satisfaction?

But as a mental exercise:
What does Trump crave with an impossible to satisfy desire?

My guess is he wants to be loved by one and all, without exception. To be seen as the greatest misunderstood and persecuted of all great men. Nay, the greatest!!! The greatest man to ever walk the Earth, spreading bounty upon all.

I accidently watched a movie starring Peter O'Toole, The Ruling Class.



It seems to me that "the hungry ghost of Trump" would haunt the likes of Evangelical MAGA mega churches.

According to Trump's niece, a professor of psychology, Trump has had narcissistic issues since he was a child.

I don't think White House ghosts are the cause.

And remember he has been dividing his time between the White House, his Saudi Jet, his New York apartment, his golf courses and Mar a Lago.

Wherever he goes, Trump is Trump.

But, perhaps, there is some refinement of whatever caused Havana Syndrome in use? Psionic warfare, anyone?

Perhaps it is the current seat of the prince of the powers of the air?

From everything I've read, when there is major renovations in a building it actually brings the spirits out and makes them more active.   They get uptight when the environment is changed .... change of ownership, change of furniture, change of walls, putting in new bathrooms or kitchens, etc etc.

Random thought - if these hauntings have been for many years, wouldn't someone have tried some sort of cleansing?  

Or are they welcome since they're past presidents and residents of the White House?

Yes, you are correct in that the White House is quite haunted.  There is a popular tale that Winston Churchill encountered the ghost of Abraham Lincoln while stepping out of the shower.  Standing there stark naked he just said "Mr. President, I believe you have me at a disadvantage". 

Getting back on topic, I think it's entirely possible Trump is being influenced.  Bush Sr. may also have been involved with the Kennedy assassination so maybe he's getting double teamed.

As far as the hungry ghost thing goes, that sounds like some sort of hell, doesn't it?

“Mr. President, I believe you have caught me at a disadvantage”.
