Trump sees dead people. And they talk.

The next time you are about to ridicule something seemingly foolish that President Trump has said or done — and there were many instances in the past week — be forewarned: He has supernatural powers. He sees dead people.

He doesn’t just see them. He talks to them and relays their thoughts back to the living. This president may do things large, but I’ve been noticing with increasing frequency that he is also a medium.

A few weeks ago, while posthumously honoring a World War II hero, Trump gave the man’s family a report on their departed loved one. He was “looking down from Heaven, proud of this incredible honor, but even prouder of the legacy that lives on in each of you. So true.”

A few weeks before that, at what was billed as a celebration of patriotism at the White House, Trump reported to the crowd that fallen soldiers are pleased with his economic policies and increases in the stock market. “Many of them are looking down right now at our country, and they are proud,” he said.

Sometimes, Trump pinpoints the location of the deceased, using some psychic GPS. At an outdoor Medal of Honor ceremony in May for soldiers lost at a battle in Afghanistan, Trump pointed at a location in the sky and said, “They are looking down right now.” A week before that, outside the Capitol, Trump pointed to a point in the sky over his head and told the family of a slain police detective: “So she’s right now, right there. And she’s looking down.”

Well, technically, he would be looking up at you, but the reality is that he looked down on you when he was alive and that part is still the same.
