In Buddhism, those who give themselves over entirely to greed are said to become hungry ghosts, unable to eat or drink normally. The Japanese word for hungry ghost, gaki, is commonly applied to spoiled brats like You-Know-Who and his entitled minions, whose lives are consumed by greed for money, status, and sexual dominance, and by fear and hatred for everyone who isn't just like them.
The extreme form is denial of karma, in particular the practice of trying to deal with one's own suffering by unloading it onto everybody else. This is the subject of Joshu's Mu, which is not about poochies. "Dog" in Buddhist Chinese referred to such karma deniers, who thus rejected their own Buddha Nature. So it is for Trump, and for vast multitudes of his cult-like followers.
About 30% of the US population professes to take the Bible literally, in the manner of Fundamentalism. There are far fewer Buddhist scriptural literalists, and it is usual to take Buddhist mythology as allegory. This includes stories of events in Shakyamuni Buddha's life, such as his supposed birth from his mother's side, and the predictions of Hindu sages that he would be the Chakravarti Raja, the universal ruler, or the Dharmachakravartin, the Buddha. It especially includes sutras composed after the Buddha's Parinirvana, that is, his death.
One such set of tales, told in the Petavatthu, is that the disciple Mahamaudgalyayana/Moggallana visited the Peta/Preta/Hungry Ghost realm, and that the mother of the disciple Shariputra got stuck there after her death, due to greed while alive, and needed help from the living to escape.
This has given rise to a richly varied set of further stories, customs, and ceremonies, in Buddhism, Daoism, and other religions of Asia.
It turns out that those who believe in literal ghosts are subject to hauntings. It's all in the mind, but you can't tell them that. You have to make their ghosts, that is, their own minds, behave by force-feeding them the truth.
Now, if only we could do that to living gakis, including ourselves.
