A combination of narcissistic rage at being criticised by a loathed rival and knee-jerk diversionary tactic sent Trump into a 100-a-day twitter frenzy attacking Obama, as the US virus death toll reached 80,000. He charged Obama with ‘the biggest political crime in American history’ though it’s not clear what he’s supposed to have done. Obama in a leaked private support-Biden conversation with Democrats had warned “the rule of law is at risk” over the decision to drop the criminal case against Michael Flynn for lying to the FBI.
The relationship between Trump and Obama has always been fraught with a composite deeply-suspicious Saturn opposition Neptune in a fanatical, high-tension square to Uranus opposition North Node. Their connection is under heavier pressure this year and next with tr Pluto square the composite Saturn and conjunct North Node. Which may not mean much in terms of predicting Trump’s likely departure date since relationships continue on even after splits, no contact and even death.
But Obama’s personal chart looks ominously downbeat in 2021 and 2022 with tr Neptune in a disheartening opposition to his Mars from April 2021 onwards till early 2023; and even before then he has a discouraging tr Pluto conjunct his Saturn from late January onwards till late 2022. He’ll be in better fettle come 2023/4 with tr Pluto conjunct his Jupiter; and tr Pluto sextile his Midheaven. He will get some uplift from tr Uranus opposition his Sun/Jupiter midpoint and that’s around over the 2021 Inauguration but he looks exceptionally nerve-stretched over the November election date with tr Uranus opposition his Neptune and tr Uranus then moves to square his Sun from late May 2021 – so not an easy transition into the new presidency. Though there could be other non-presidential factors at play.
Michelle Obama is also heading into stressful times with tr Saturn conjunct her Capricorn Sun over the election and tr Pluto conjunct her Sun in 2021/22. Like Obama she does have some Jupiterian rays of sunshine but more downers than uppers. Her relationship chart with Trump has active dislike written all over it with a composite Saturn Venus opposition Mars which is being triggered with tr Uranus in hard aspect through this year and the next two. She also looks uncertain about Joe Biden this year and in 2021/22 with tr Pluto square their composite Neptune and then tr Neptune square the composite Mars.
I cannot believe that even the United States with its tolerance for corrupt and wayward politicians could stomach another four years of Trump or even a Trump replacement given how complicit the GOP have been in his aberrant behaviour. And that’s not a partisan thought, just common sense. But the thick-as-a-brick, true-believing Trumpers tapped their approval of his twitter-mania in their millions. So who would know?
