Trump's Got Staff or Servants? | Tarot Brief

Behind the political polish, there’s a different kind of story, one about control, ego, and how power is really used. In this Tarot Brief, we look at the energy around how one Donald Trump treats their staff, and what the cards reveal about leadership, loyalty, and the cost of demanding too much from those who serve.

Sometimes the real story isn’t in the speech, it’s in the silence of the people standing behind it.

and see what the cards reveal about the stories everyone's
talking about now on the headline in politics, images, everything,
but behind the podium and press releases, there's a whole

(00:21):
different kind of story unfolding. The way a person treats
their team says more about their leadership than any speech
ever could. Trump's first term left plenty of chaos in
the headlines, but behind the scenes, the energy told an
even sharper story. Former staffers described an atmosphere that felt
more like a luxury hotel than the White House. Service

(00:44):
over respect, obedience, over professionalism. There was even a button
on the desk for just diet coke, not exactly the
vibe of humble leadership. I love me a good die coke,
but good Lord, ask me nicely for one. Don't all
a button, and it's back again, if anyone was wondering.

(01:04):
So fast forward to today, the tone hasn't oftened, reports
of staff tension, public outburst, even a few unsettling moments
caught on camera. The energy feels heavy, commanding and cold,
it's the same pattern repeating power held tightly, loyalty demanded,
and empathy. It's optional. So we ask the cards about

(01:27):
how Donald Trump treats their staff. We're not just looking
at a workplace dynamic. We're looking at the deeper energy
of control, pride, and what happens when leadership forgets to
lead with humanity. And if you'd like a deeper dive,
check out my substack. That's where I write a little
more about how I really feel about these readings. They

(01:49):
are sure reads too. I find that I cannot stand
when someone doesn't get to the point. And speaking of that,
I ask the cards in the past, present, and future spread,
what's the energy, sir, how Trump treats his staff. For
the past, I got the Emperor upright. This energy is structured, disciplined,
and commanding, the kind of leadership that thrives on control

(02:10):
and clear hierarchy. In the past, this person may have
built their reputation on order and authority. Think my way
or the highway. But also I get results. There's respect here,
but it's respect that's earned through fear or consistency, not warmth.

(02:31):
For the present, I got the Night of Swords upright,
and right now, the energy feels impulsive, sharp, and mission driven.
This is someone who's charging ahead fast, expecting everyone to
keep up. The Night of Swords is the kind of
boss who doesn't slow down long enough to check for
anyone who's falling behind. It's mental over emotional and progress

(02:54):
over people. And for the future. I got the Night
of Cups reversed, and here's where the tension cracks. The
future suggests growing emotional disconnection. Promise is not kept, empathy
running dry. The reverse Night of Cups can be manipulative
or inconsistent, saying the right things for optics but not

(03:14):
backing them up with genuine care. Staff might begin to
question motives, feeling strained or disillusioned by the gap between
image and reality. So what's the takeaway for all of this?
The energy here isn't subtle. It's structured, moving fast and
emotionally cold. The kind of leadership that demands more than

(03:36):
it gives that mistakes control for strength. People can hold
power in many ways, but when it's built on fear
or exhaustion, it eventually turns inward. And that's the quiet
warning in this reading. Authority without empathy doesn't inspire loyalty.

(04:02):
It drains it. Are you listening Elon Musk? Maybe that's
the bigger message here. Real strength doesn't need to command.
It listens, it leads, and it remembers that the people
behind the scenes make the whole thing run. He's not
a boss I'd want, and I've had my fair share
of losers in the past. This has been terr brief

(04:25):
where the headlines meet the cards. Until next time, I'm
Cindy reminding you that the truth always finds its way
out one shuffle at a time, and I'll see you
in the next one.
