Listening to Dr Jordan B Peterson describe what kind of architype President Trump represents

Foward video to 1:10:45 for the initial question, Peterson states :

"… there's a bit of a trickster about him,……. and from a Jungian perspective, the fool is a precursor to the saviour element because the fool is often the only person who can tell the truth"

And from further analysis of Jung's work:

"Tricksters are unpredictable combinations of gods and beasts and are among the oldest human images of the divine. Native American tricksters like coyote, were originally hunter-gatherer deities, kicked out of heaven by the better-behaved agricultural gods. Psychologist Carl Jung saw the Trickster as a collective shadow figure, an epitome of all the darker character traits, sent to remind us that we must experience the full range of behavior and emotions if we are to be free. Carl Jung said that the coyote is "a forerunner of the savior…a divine being."



He is cunning and sly; the wise man who acts as the fool. His very nature is contradictory because he is a bringer of both chaos and order. He is considered evil, but a necessary evil. Yet with all his enormous power he is enormously stupid, the fool of the ages, the epitome or personification of human absurdity."

Harsh words, but maybe this accurately describes Trump's current if temporary, and absolutely necessary role
