If they existed, which demon would Trump most likely be posessed by?
AI response:
If we frame it symbolically — not literally — and look at Trump’s personality through the lens of classical demonology or archetypes, we can compare traits rather than make a supernatural claim. A few possibilities from different traditions:
1. Mammon – In Christian demonology, Mammon represents greed, material wealth, and worldly ambition. This fits Trump’s long-time focus on money, luxury, and status.
2. Belial – Often associated with lawlessness, pride, and self-exaltation. Belial is depicted as persuasive and resistant to authority — traits that match Trump’s defiant, anti-establishment streak.
3. Baal – Sometimes seen as a ruler of many, a commanding presence demanding loyalty and recognition. This could mirror Trump’s need for dominance and allegiance from followers.
4. Asmodeus – The demon of desire, arrogance, and pleasure — not a perfect fit but sometimes invoked for people driven by personal appetite and charisma.
If we take it metaphorically, you could say he’s “possessed” by the archetype of the King or the Trickster, depending on perspective — both powerful Jungian motifs that blend leadership with ego, showmanship, and chaos.
Excellent — diving into the imagery is where this gets rich. Each of those demons, if visualized, carries a long symbolic tradition that artists, occultists, and writers have depicted in fascinatingly different ways. Here’s how they’re often imagined — or could be, if you were building a modern symbolic portrait:
---
1. Mammon — The Devourer of Gold
Appearance: Corpulent, radiant with molten gold veins running under translucent skin; coins and jewelry embedded in flesh. His eyes glow with the shimmer of markets—cold and calculating.
Atmosphere: He sits atop a throne of crumbling skyscrapers, every breath smelling of oil and iron.
Symbolism: Beauty through corruption — wealth made monstrous.
---
2. Belial — The Defiant Prince
Appearance: Handsome yet unsettling, with perfect symmetry that shifts subtly wrong the longer you stare. Wears robes that flicker between regal and tattered.
Aura: Charisma turned weapon; his shadow moves independently, whispering persuasion into the ears of the ambitious.
Symbolism: Pride given form — the angel who refuses any master.
---
3. Baal — The Storm Sovereign
Appearance: Three heads (man, bull, and cat) atop a muscular body wrapped in stormclouds. Lightning dances across his crown; flies swarm where he passes.
Atmosphere: Thunder answers when he speaks; banners of black wind trail behind.
Symbolism: Command and dominion — power that demands submission.
---
4. Asmodeus — The Flame of Desire
Appearance: Smiling with three faces (one serene, one lustful, one wrathful), each eye burning differently—red, blue, and violet. His lower body coils into smoke and fire.
Aura: The air around him smells of perfume, wine, and ash.
Symbolism: Appetite made divine — every want made endless.
Smell is a great way to get at their essence.
Here’s how they’d rank, from foulest to least offensive:
1. Baal – Easily the worst. He’s long been linked with decay and rot (the “Lord of Flies” association). His presence would stink of sulfur, blood, and decomposing flesh carried on storm wind.
2. Mammon – Smells like wealth gone rancid: metallic tang of coins, sweat of overworked machines, oil, and old money that’s been handled by too many greedy hands.
3. Asmodeus – Not rotten, but overwhelming: heavy musk, burnt incense, and sweet rot like wine left in the sun. It’s intoxicating until it makes you sick.
4. Belial – Surprisingly subtle. His scent would be seductive: clean smoke, polished leather, and ozone. But if you stay too long, there’s an undercurrent of cold ash and something hollow.
So — Baal wins (or loses) the smell test. He’s the one you’d smell before you saw.
