Bragging About Non-existent Successes, Without Admitting Actual Failures, is Exclusively the Action of a Mentally Incompetent Old Man

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Intelligent humans learn as much or more from their mistakes than they do from their successes. Contrary to claims by the orange buffoon, pretending to be your president, no one is or ever has been perfect. As he did between 2017 and 2021, he constantly brags about accomplishments which are clearly non-existent. What Trump has “accomplished” in his first year as your illegitimate president are all destructive and will require decades to undo. Here is a short list of his failures. Sadly, there is not a single positive success to find. A failure to end Inflation/Greedflation. The problem has been escalated by his ill-advised tariffs. Unemployment is rapidly rising across the nation. This situation is the result of his failed economic policies. The opinions of our allies are critical. In the 21 st century, the future of every nation is only sustainable if it has loyal allies. Today, in 2026, America is no longer a respected and revered nation. Trump’s actions, com...

Something Trump Can Legitimately Brag About: He is a Perfect Hypocrite

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The mainstream media is constantly hiding facts from the American people. I will never offer less than the truth to my readers. Trump sent National Guard Troops to Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago for one reason, and one reason only: to prevent the “No Kings” protests against his authoritarian and fascist actions by true and patriotic Americans. As America’s leading hypocrite, he is taking action to protect protestors, albeit in a Muslim nation. Protests against the failure of Iran’s leaders based on a declining economy, have turned deadly. “If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” Throughout our nation’s 249 years, our federal government continues to interfere with events occurring in other nations. We are not a “great nation,” and we are not the “world’s police force.” We have no right to impose our beliefs on other nations...

John Roberts Tries to Bullshit the American People: Hint: He Failed

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Darkest Day in American History happened on January 6, 2021. My wife and I watched all three hours of an event planned, organized, and executed by a sitting president. It was an attempted coup, although it has been represented as a lesser crime by those who support Donald John Trump. The second darkest day happened in October of 2020. Breaking his own unconstitutional rule, Moscow Mitch McConnell’s choice to complete the nine-members of the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed by the Senate just weeks prior to the presidential election in November. Moscow Mitch and Trump succeeded in their efforts to stack the Supreme Court of the United States with three additional right-wing extremists, created a super majority by 6-3. Their first notable and destructive effort occurred on June 24, 2022. Six fascist-leaning justices overturned a 49-year-old decision by a legitimate Court known as Roe v Wade. This action removed the rights of all women to make de...

I Choose to Die But Once as a Free Man, not a Little with Every Breath I Take Under the Rule of a Treasonous and Ruthless Dictator

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As an original baby boomer, patriotism was all around me. My father had returned from a ship in the Pacific in 1945. He had survived the war to prevent the spread of fascism. I was born in Lewiston, Idaho, in 1946. With jobs now plentiful in Los Angeles and other major cities, my maternal grandparents, me, my mother, father, my little brother, and one of my uncles moved to the City of Angels in 1952. In the fall, I was sent to St. Mark’s Elementary School to attend 1 st grade. Every morning our teacher, a nun, had us face the American flag standing in the corner and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Those words, and their meaning, will live inside my head for the rest of my life. However, in 2025, they mean nothing to the orange buffoon defiling our White House. Today is the first day of 2026: a new beginning which offers hope for the return of democracy, and freedom to all people living inside the United States of America, regardless of race, sex, religious pre...

In Nine Days Trump Will Have Been Your Illegitimate President for One, Very Long Year: These Are His “Accomplishments”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Between 2017 and 2021, Trump nearly placed our nation in another Great Depression. Over one million Americans lost their lives from the effects of Covid-19 while Trump told us, “it will just go away.” However not a single positive accomplishment can be found over those four, long years. In 2025, your illegitimate president is once again ignoring the needs and wishes of America’s majority while he pretends to be the leader of 340 million people. In just nine days, the orange buffoon will have completed the first year of his four-year term. I know it seems much longer because the damage he has caused to our nation is 100 times worse than the first. Trump began his attack on America with the creation of DOGE, Department of Government Efficiency. To lead this new and unnecessary department, he chose a billionaire with no experience in government but had donated more than 350 million dollars to his campaign; Elon Musk. In Nine Days, Trump Will Have Been Your Illegiti...

Based on His Hatred for Anyone Who is not White and Supportive of his Fascist Policies, Trump Vetoes Two Bills Sponsored by Both Parties

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This story may not excite you or awaken your strongest emotions. However, it clearly reveals that your illegitimate president is void of concern for anyone but himself and the super-rich, and lacks integrity, undeserving of the respect of any true American. It concerns the first two vetoes of his second illegitimate presidency. The bipartisan bills are designed to make it easier to build a water pipeline in Colorado and give a Native American tribe more control over a portion of the Everglades. [One of the bills — the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act — would have added a small village called the Osceola Camp to a section of the Florida Everglades that the Miccosukee Native American Tribe has control over. It would also require the Department of the Interior to take action to protect structures in the village from flooding.] Trump gave his own reason for vetoing the bill, based on vengeance and hatred for anyone whose origin is now western European and whi...

Trump Colludes with the Banking Industry Again

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 50-year mortgages? Would you be willing to pay three times the cost of a new home and never live to see the loan marked “paid in full?” The American Dream has become just that: a dream. According to most leading economists, generation “X” and those who follow, will never have careers with an income which allows them to purchase a single-family home. In my area of the United States, Northern Nevada, new homes are under construction. However, the focus is clearly on building large apartment buildings. The average rent on a one-bedroom apartment in Reno, NV, ranges from about $1,350 to over $1,800 per month. The consensus is that the average salary in Reno is 35-36 thousand dollars per year. I am not a math wizard, but it appears that rental rates on a one-bedroom apartment in Reno are likely to be more than one-half of one month’s wages. The average price of a single-family home is between $545,000 and $578,000. Monthly payments range between $3,200, and $3,900. I...

Why It is of Ultimate Importance that Separation of Church and State Remain a Priority

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart At the end of the Constitutional Convention in 1789, our Founding Fathers were aware that their creation was imperfect. Unaware of the inherent evils of mankind, they mistakenly believed that their successors would make the necessary improvements which would make the United States a truly great nation. However, they also displayed great wisdom. The First Amendment is considered the most important declaration of human rights in history by Constitutional scholars. Allow me to refresh your memory. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” The first line was clearly the most important to every man attending the convention. Most of the men who signed the Constitution were Deists. A few were Christians. All of them were spiritual. What the...

Nobody Seems to Care: Trump is Waging a War Against Venezuela Without Congress: Another Constitutional Violation

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is obvious that Trump has never read the Constitution . Why should he? He has no respect for the Law of the Land , and proves this fact as he constantly violates the Constitution. He is waging a war against Venezuela right now without the consent of Congress. Why should he care? Six members of the Supreme Court are loyal to him, not to their country, and granted him absolute immunity. They are violating their only purpose as they evacuate their bowels on our nation’s most sacred document. [The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the exclusive power to declare war, found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, which states Congress can "declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water.”] What Trump is obviously doing involves a law passed in every state in the Union. He, his incompetent Secretary of Defense, and the Pentagon are committing first degree murder. There has been no due process as commanded by...

Why is the Nation of Israel Losing Support From Countries Which Once Eagerly Stood Behind It?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart His name is Benjamin Netanyahu, also known as “Bibbi.” It seems to me that he and your illegitimate president are brothers from another mother. Both of these old men appear to be related to Putin. The Nation of Israel was certified by the United Nations in 1948. When I read the story in history books in high school, I found it inspiring, heroic, and I knew it offered hope for all mankind who continue to search for freedom, and the guarantee of basic human rights. However, a large number of nations are controlled by unscrupulous men and women who are solely interested in their own lives, not the lives of the people they serve. Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is one of those evil politicians. Like Hitler, Trump, and Putin, he has a deep hatred for one group of people, not entirely based upon their religion. Hitler attempted to destroy every man, woman, and child who practiced Judaism. Only he knew the true reason for such a strong and deep hatred for ...

Of Course, This Story is Composed of Lies and Hypocrisy, but it is Kind of Funny

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Anything Trump or one of his cronies, past, or present, tells the press is a lie. The break-up between Trump and his political concubine, Marjory Taylor Greene is hilarious. However, nothing either of them says has even a morsel of the truth. The following statements from Greene are very funny if you know the facts behind the lies. “I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them,” Trump said. Greene said: “That was absolutely the worst statement. It just shows where his heart is. And that’s the difference, with her having a sincere Christian faith, and proves that he does not have any faith.” It gets even better, but I love the remark about Christianity. Not a single right-wing politician is a true Christian. All of them reject the teachings of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. “As a Christian, I don’t believe in doing that,” she said. “I agree with Erika Kirk, who did the hardest thing possible and said it out loud.” Greene said she later told a friend...

Is Trump Representing Putin or Himself? He is Definitely not Concerned About the People of Ukraine

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What is Trump really doing? You probably don’t want to hear the truth, and the mainstream media will never tell the truth. Trump is following orders from his handler. He and Putin are complicit and whatever Putin wants, Putin will get. We’ve all listened and read about previous meetings between Trump and Ukraine President Zelinskyy. Trump manhandles him and refuses to respect his position and his efforts to save his country. The schoolyard bully is acting as we might expect, making a complete ass of himself. If you think I am creating a conspiracy theory, read the following. It doesn’t require a cryptologist to understand what this actually means. [Trump's "peace efforts" after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to the White House on Sunday to discuss a possible peace deal to end Russia's full-scale invasion of the country. ["The whole world appreciates President Trump and his team's peace efforts," Dmitriev, who als...

Living Life Purely for Self-Pleasure Made Trump What He Isn’t Today

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Everyone’s life is a process, a process of learning from our experiences, our successes, and our mistakes. Nearing the age of 80, I hope and believe that I have learned many things about myself and the world in which I live. I cannot hide my physical disabilities. However, I believe that my mind is intact, and although I am nearing the definition of “octogenarian,” my memory of the last eight decades is clear. I am who I am because I followed the rules. I worked hard to care for myself and my family, and although I had my share of failures, I always tried to do the right thing. I am what it means to be an average American. Trump was born into a world which can only be described as “ultimate white privilege.” Not once in his life has he worked a full day. Studying him for the last 13 years, it is obvious that he never attended his classes at a military boarding school, Fordham, or Wharton. He knows nothing about anything, including the English language. Over the ...

Trump is the Definition of Malignant Narcissist and Insanity

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have offered proof multiple times that Trump suffers from Malignant Narcissism and has for his entire life. In 2025, we can add the definition of insanity: “doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” Trump savors texting more than sleep, which contributes to his frequent naps during important government meetings. Old men need their rest, I have learned that from experience. What he chooses to tweet about is repetitive: how bad everyone is who criticizes his fascist policies and whining about the fact that he is the most hated man in the world. On Christmas Day, Trump, who may be the only participant on his failed social media platform, “Truth Social,” sent more than 150 messages to his cult. The subjects were the usual: the 2020 election conspiracy theories to false claims about Somali immigrants. Trump put particular focus on the release of the Epstein files, posting: ["The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Repu...

Trump Continues to Suffer from Penis Envy

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am definitely not a psychiatrist. However, I read a lot about the failure of our nation to address the many mental health issues affecting hundreds of thousands of Americans, if not millions. Most insurance companies refuse to cover the cost of long-term care. One stands out above the rest: your illegitimate, mentally ill, and self-absorbed fake president. Let’s take another look at his lifelong ailment. Malignant Narcissism: [In the popular conception, malignant narcissism is a form of narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire. [Campbell’s Psychiatric Dictionary suggests that malignant narcissism includes traits of narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorderTrusted Source causes a person to seek constant acclaim ...

The Do Nothing and Illegitimate President?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that after nearly five years as your illegitimate president, Trump has accomplished nothing of a positive nature. The reasons for this are many, but I have no doubt it began before the orange buffoon reached puberty, if he ever did. There is no information about Trump’s childhood. What we do know is that his parents no longer wanted him in their home and placed him in a local military boarding school at the age of 13. I have no doubt that it was during this time that he became a schoolyard bully. He is a coward, and all schoolyard bullies are cowards, ordering others to do his fighting for him. This continues today. His success as a Manhattan real estate mogul is a fable. The New York business community tells tales of his bribing public officials in charge of inspecting his construction projects, and threatened anyone who attempted to expose his crimes. At least six bankruptcies, and bailouts by Russian oligarchs and the Saudi Royal Family saved ...

Ego, Pride, Revenge, and a License to Kill

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Can you trust your president? Only if you can pick up 300 pounds of lard in one hand and toss it across the ocean. Trump constantly lies. He is incapable of telling the truth because the truth is his greatest enemy. But, he is not alone. The Pentagon is by nature a fascist group of old men and women who enjoy playing with their very expensive toys. They realize that in peacetime, they are useless. Therefore, it is no surprise that they are obeying orders from their Fuhrer and murdering dozens of people off the coast of Venezuela, claiming they are transporting illegal drugs. They have no proof, there has been no due process. This is not important for Trump and his “Wehrmacht.” Trump and Hegseth are committing murder in the first degree. Our military leaders are guilty of war crimes, and violations of the UCMJ: the Universal Code of Military Justice. The question I have is “why has the mainstream refused to do the right thing and tell the Truth about the criminal...

A Christmas Day Message for Scrooge McTrump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You may not understand the importance of Christmas Day to real, normal people. Like the character in Charles Dickens 1843 “A Christmas Carol,” you are the most hated man in the world. Unfortunately, your lifelong affliction with malignant narcissism will not allow you to accept this fact. You lack the compassion and intellect to understand the importance of living a life worth living. You will die a man filled with anger and hatred for everyone but yourself. Because of your actions, millions of people around the world are experiencing a lesser Christmas than they deserve. You are the ultimate ‘Scrooge,’ and after your demise, you will be remembered only for the evil you spread around the planet. Your greatest problem is founded in the fact that you have never matured. You remain a spoiled child, born into the world of extreme white privilege. You have no knowledge of what it is like for most of our nation’s people, and the saddest fact of all is, you don’t care....
Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As the Antichrist, Trump hates Christmas, almost as much as he hates all non-white people. Today is Christmas Eve, and I think it’s time to review the many “gifts” the majority of Americans received from your illegitimate president in 2025. While running for office in 2024, Trump made promises he never intended to keep, and he kept his “word.” Greedflation is growing and prices on all commodities, including toys for Christmas are far more expensive this year, and the culprit is clearly Trump’s ill-advised tariffs. Tariffs always fail, with a couple of minor exceptions. Doubt my allegation. Look at 1930 and what happened when tariffs added additional grief to the Great Depression. To understand why a second, illegitimate Trump presidency is 100 times more destructive than his first, we must return to 2016 and the truth about his rigged victory and his many failures over the next four years. Insiders with access to Trump and the reality of the 2016 election claim ...

Trump is Admitting the Truth, Why Won’t the Mainstream Media?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every twisted decision Trump makes adds to a long list of proof that he is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. His most recent action makes no effort to hide the fact that your illegitimate president considers anyone who is not white inferior to himself and his fascist party. [Andrea Lucas, head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, released a video last week calling for white men who claim they’ve been hurt by diversity policies to file claims to potentially “recover money under federal civil rights laws.”] If this was not so obviously supercilious, I would be laughing right now. As a child, my single mother and her small family were poor. However, we lived in an area of Los Angeles which benefitted from white privilege. Although I was unaware of how racist my country was until the age of 12 or 13, I watched the news and I learned that most Black Americans were not only poor, but disenfranchised by those in power. In 1962, I escaped from my Ca...
