It May Be A Little Late For A Halloween Story, But Witches Are Struggling To Hex Trump

With Election Day approaching, President Donald Trump has found himself the target of an unexpected effort — witches who are casting spells to hinder his campaign. But as Halloween passes, many of these witches are growing frustrated, admitting that their spells aren’t having the desired effect on Trump.

Social media forums like Reddit’s WitchesVsPatriarchy reveal the efforts of some witches to cast spells against Trump, such as the popular “freezer spell,” where his name is frozen in water to block his influence. However, several practitioners claim their spells aren’t making an impact, with some saying that Trump seems to have a spiritual “shield” that is somehow protecting him from their magic.

One witch on the forum described this shield as “flimsy but effective,” while others speculate that the prayers of Trump’s supporters are creating a barrier against their hexes. Frustrated by these failures, some have begun advising against targeting Trump directly, recommending spells to help Vice President Kamala Harris instead, as they say this might be more effective than challenging Trump’s “protection.”

Trump has frequently attributed his resilience to divine protection, particularly following an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Supporters continue to pray for his safety, which some witches believe may be the reason their spells are failing. They now see Trump’s resilience as proof of something stronger at work.

Witchcraft has seen a surge in popularity on social media, with WitchTok videos drawing millions of viewers. However, former practitioners like Jenny Weaver, who left witchcraft for Christianity, warn that magic can lead to fear and darkness. As Weaver cautions against dabbling in the occult, frustrated witches debate their next moves while Trump’s supporters continue to credit his resilience to a higher power.
