Jinkx Monsoon says she ‘hexes’ Donald Trump whenever she passes Trump Tower

Jinkx Monsoon has revealed that she puts a hex on US president Donald Trump every time she passes by Trump Tower in New York City.

The actress and RuPaul’s Drag Race double winner shared the habit on a 7 May episode of podcast Monét Talks, which is hosted by fellow Drag Race champion Monét X Change.

“If hexes are real, why hasn’t Donald Trump died yet?” Monét asked.

“Because sometimes things take time,” Jinkx began. “Donald Trump represents something so much bigger than him… his cult-like following is what’s protecting him. That energy is what’s protecting him.”

She continued: “But that means the cataclysmal shift away from him is going to be so big, and because he represents the most appalling, disgusting toxic amalgamation of everything we want changed in our country and in the world, it’s, like, gonna take a big cataclysm to shift that. But I think that’s right around the corner.”

Monét went on to say that she herself purchased two hexes against Trump from Etsy witches but they were not fulfilled, causing her to wonder if she should get her money back.

“Well, you can’t put a timeline on magic,” Jinkx added.

“They guaranteed me a timeline!” joked Monét. “I was guaranteed two weeks!”

Jinkx replied: “Well, first of all, I don’t know about all this mail order witchcraft. I’ve never heard a witch say, ‘I guarantee two weeks.’ That sounds like some Miss Cleo stuff. Too good to be true, all you have to do is fork over this money and this person will just do it for you.”

The Oh, Mary! actress went on to share how she believes that magic comes from the effort you put into it.

“Yes, you could outsource that effort maybe,” she continued. “Lots of modern witches go out and purchase the herbs rather than growing them themselves or foraging for them, so we all take our shortcuts. But if you want the magic to be effective, you’ve gotta get in there.”

When Monét expressed a desire to learn how to hex, Jinkx shared some suggestions.

“Every time you see his image, come up with your own… the evil eye is a powerful thing but come up with your own,” she said.

“I flash the horns. Every time I walk past Trump Towers in New York I’m just like, ‘Grrrr,’” she continued, making the sign of the horns with her hands.

“You ever seen Hereditary?” she asked Monét, before doing an impression of Toni Collette’s character Annie Graham. “‘Hello! You’re not welcome! I banish you!’ That’s me outside the Trump Towers. ‘I banish you!’”
