WASHINGTON, DC: An ancient Hopi prophecy predicted the rise of a mysterious figure known as the “true White brother,” marked by a red cap, who would change the nation forever.

A website called Charisma News recently published a story about a Hopi prophecy involving this mysterious figure, described as wearing a “red hat, red cap, or red cloak.” According to the website, the prophecy is believed to represent President Donald Trump following his election victory.

The prophecy itself is said to be centuries old and originates from the Hopi tribe of the Southwestern United States.

Link between Donald Trump and ‘man in red hat’

Charisma News covered an ancient Hopi prophecy describing a figure wearing a “red hat, red cap, or red cloak,” which many interpret as symbolizing Donald Trump after his election victory. 

In 1972, Hopi elder Thomas Banyacya brought the prophecy to the United Nations, warning that during a time of great upheaval and rapid technological change, an individual bearing a symbolic red hat would emerge and shape the fate of the world.

Banyacya said. “Out of a new generation is coming stronger, much better equipment, everything, powerful things [are] going to be developed by these two people. Then the third one that will finally bring about purification of this land in this continent would be a man with [a] red cap, red hat or red cloak. Now, we do not know who that nation is or what people. But they say those people will have a large population and they will also have much scientific inventions of all types.”



 

He also added, “We were told that three helpers who were commissioned by the Great Spirit to help Hopi bring about the peaceful life on earth would appear to help us. So we have been waiting all these years.”

The prophecy gained attention on the 'SundayCool' podcast, which explores fascinating stories and conspiracy theories. Co-host Josh Hooper read the prophecy for listeners, “It is known that our True White Brother, when he comes, will be all-powerful and will wear a red cap or red cloak.”

Hooper displayed an image of President Donald Trump wearing his signature MAGA hat as an example. He added, “He will be large in population and belong to no religion but his own,” explaining that the True White Brother would be joined by two wise and powerful helpers, whom he speculated could be JD Vance and Elon Musk.

The prophecy also describes the two helpers, one associated with the swastika, representing purity and female life-giving energy, while the other is linked to the sun, symbolizing wisdom and power.

Another symbol, the moja or cross, might actually be an X, Hooper suggested, possibly connecting to Musk’s social media platform, X.

Hopi prophecies warn of 'Great Purification' driven by greed and corruption

The Hopi teachings describe a time of major upheaval and cleansing, called the “Great Purification” or the “Third Shaking,” caused by humanity’s greed, corruption, and neglect of nature. The prophecies also mention signs in technology, disasters, and the eventual rise of a Fifth World.

The red-capped figure is said to appear during this Fourth World to guide humanity through the chaos. The red cap is an important symbol, showing the figure’s significance in fulfilling the prophecy. The True White Brother is sometimes described as a messenger whose presence could influence humanity’s choices and help bring about the Fifth World.

Banyacya also warned that those who harmed his people would face consequences. “They will say, well those people have destroyed my people, they have to take care and they have taken everything from my people. Land, rivers, and hunting rights and everything that I use. They just took it away from me against my opposition, then those that have done that, what we call purification, will be the real wicked people.”
