Body Bomb: The Secret Meaning of Donald Trump's Somatic Distress

Life makes shapes. These shapes are an organizing process that embodies emotions, thoughts and experiences transformed into structure. How we meet life molds and shapes our somatic world.

You’re reading WOODRUFF. I cover the convergence of pop culture, psychology, and astrology. Join my entourage of subscribers—you’ve been missed. My bio is here.

IN THIS WOODRUFF CAST video from last year, I analyzed what exactly is going on with Trump’s enlarged and forward-leaning body. I’ve discussed his chinless-jawless condition before, but this time I wanted to take in the entire ‘container.’ For the past year and a half, we’ve watched Trump’s health and appearance decline in an increasingly alarming way. When do we hit the tipping point?

Revisiting this video today, I was reminded of a meme I saw last week (below). And it is fascinating to consider, and to consider often, the implication. It’s as if the constant considering might have some kind of spellcasting attached to it. Wouldn’t that be wild?

In this episode I presented the work of Stanley Keleman’s pioneering study of the body and its connection to the emotional, psychological, sexual, and imaginative aspects of human experience.

My commentary and the illustrations accompanying the video are from Keleman’s book Emotional Anatomy: The Structure of Experience.
