Real Reasons Trump Was Desperate to Become Your Illegitimate President: His Freedom and Money

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As you know by now, our Founding Fathers made mistakes. They knew it, but believed that their successors would make the necessary improvements. They expected others would be eager to follow them and serve their country, their people. However, they failed to foresee the weakness and lack of character we experience today. The federal government of the United States is the most incompetent and corrupt in the world in 2026. And their leader is the “Don” of the Washington Mafia.” “The president continues to find new, once-unimaginable ways to use the awesome powers of the federal government to enrich himself.” Michael A. Cohen, (author). HOW MANY OF OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED LEADERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY? The saddest and most important lesson I learned over my nearly 80 years as a patriotic American, is that in the 21 st century, no one with extreme wealth and/or power can be trusted. If I had to guess, I believe that about 80 percent of those who spend ...

Not Abortion Rights: Women’s Rights

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Women continue their fight for equality. Whenever a Republican is in the Oval Office, women’s rights take two steps backwards for every step they gained during a Democratic administration. Before I move deeper into my article, I feel that I must vent my frustration. This begins with one, simple fact: old, white men have no right to make decisions for women when the issue has any relationship to their ability to reproduce. The situation is unrelatable for men who continue to believe that women have a single purpose: to serve the needs of men. That said, let’s take a realistic look at an issue which should not be included in the many reasons we choose one candidate over another when we vote: abortion. WOMEN CONTINUE TO BE SECOND AND EVEN THIRD-CLASS CITIZENS In America, white women were not allowed to vote until 1920. Black women were forced to wait for their Constitutional right until 1965. For 49 years, women were protected by federal law when they decided to te...

How White, Fake Christians Participated in the Demise of the Grand Old Party

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: the Republican Party began to take its final breaths in 1981. Today, the Party of Lincoln is nothing but a memory. There are many reasons that this travesty occurred, but at the center are efforts by one extremist group of leaders calling themselves “Evangelicals.” [The term evangelical refers to a worldwide movement within Protestant Christianity that emphasizes the authority of the Bible, the "good news" (gospel) of salvation through Jesus Christ, and the personal experience of being "born”] IF YOU IGNORE THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN Growing up Catholic, and attending Parochial school, I read the Bible, and studied the basic concepts of Judaism, the Religion of Islam, and learned the beliefs of Buddhism, Sikhism, and other less popular faiths. For those of you who have never read the Bible, cover to cover, it is divided into two parts: the Old Testament, and the New Testament. The Old Testament is composed of lege...

Republicans Know the Right Thing to Do, but They Love Their Fuhrer, not Their Country

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In January of 2017, an entire political party, which was once known as “the Grand Old Party,” abandoned its morals, its self-respect, its principles, and its dignity, and surrendered its free thought and free will to an old, obese, and mentally deficient failed businessman who had renently been illegitimately sworn in as their president. The Party of Lincoln had taken its last breath. MOST “REPUBLICANS” KNOW BETTER I have no doubt that the majority of the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in Washington have at least average intelligence and are fully aware that Trump has become a dictator. They know that his policies are wrong for America, but with a shrinking voter base, they are desperate to receive the votes of his ignorant supporters. His failure to keep his promises, most notably ending inflation, ending the invasion of Ukraine, and keeping our nation out of another unwinnable war in the Middle East, are adding to the possibility of Democrats ...

The Antichrist Which Lost Its Mind

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one could write a movie this confusing. On every set is a person whose job is to ensure that the film contains continuity and makes sense from beginning to end. What’s left of Donald Trump’s little brain is a f**king mess. No one knows what he is doing, including Donald John Trump. The old, mentally disabled, obese man who is pretending to be your president revealed himself as the Antichrist years ago. When speaking to his cult, he exalts himself constantly. He easily brainwashes, his weak-minded followers who became convinced that Donald Trump is the Messiah: greater than Mohammad or Jesus Christ. TRUMP TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS THAT HE IS GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST “‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.” Trump is a fake Christian. The pastor of the Church Trump claims to be his place of worship, revealed that Trump has never crossed its threshold. It is obvious that he never read the bible, and definitely not the New Testa...

How do you Like your “Grifter-in-Chief” Now?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has finally accomplished something, but not for the American people. In just over one year, Trump and his family have increased their personal wealth by about $1.4 billion. Trump continues to violate the Emoluments Clause with the use of his position as your illegitimate president. This number is near the amount he profited between 2017 and 2021 of $1.7 billion. Trump has been licensing his name in multiple foreign nations. This is a direct violation of the Emoluments Clause and punishable by impeachment for a record third time. The orange buffoon has finally learned something about pretending to be your president: how to commit more crimes he hoped no one would discover. 47 WAYS TRUMP HAS MADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MOST AMERICANS WORSE I won’t list them all: you can read them in the article I will refer at the end of my own. However, while Trump is stuffing his Gucci wallet with more illegal funds, most Americans are struggling more than ever before in ...

Is it TACO Saturday? For Trump It Is

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is it just me, or did Trump actually say, time and time again, “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons?” I don’t watch television “news” broadcasts. I refuse to be lied to. However, I do read. Trump appeared on Sean Hannity’s right-wing propaganda broadcast Thursday, and once again proved that the term “TACO” definitely applies to the orange buffoon. Trump talks all the time, but his words are always filled with lies and baseless allegations. Read the exchange between Trump and one of Fox’ paid liars. Hannity asked Trump about the 970 pounds of enriched uranium possessed by Iran, which is necessary to make nuclear weapons. [Trump first said that if the U.S. tried to seize the stockpile, it would take “a week and a half” to extract using a ground operation. That is likely an underestimate; nuclear experts say such an operation would take weeks, and that’s assuming it goes smoothly.] But what Trump said next was a surprise. “I don’t think it’s necessary [to get the uran...

On His Trip to China, Trump Took Some of “His People” With Him

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In my nearly 80 years, I have learned that many of the sayings I heard from my grandparents, older relatives, and other individuals who were older than me are founded in fact, based on nothing more complicated than human nature. One of these is, “you can be judged by the friends and associates you choose.” As a man who had too many “careers” in his life, all involving working with the public, I have had many casual relationships. I referred to all of these people as “friends.” They were, to an extent. However, those I considered “true friends” cared about me as much as I cared about them. That number is small, as it should be. “TRUMP’S “FRIENDS” ARE THE SCUM AT THE BOTTOM OF A CESSPOOL Donald Trump has never had a true friend. He uses those he calls “friends” for personal advantage, and they use him to achieve their ambitions and increase their outrageous wealth. When he planned his trip to China, he invited a few of his oligarchs, his son, Eric, the worst Secre...

New Legacy for Trump: Destruction of America’s History and its Most Treasured Monuments and Buildings

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is Trump mentally ill? That is a huge understatement. Everything he says, everything he does, makes no sense. He is wasting billions, and possibly trillions of dollars waging wars, destroying national treasures and rebuilding them into what appear to be massage parlors and brothels: places Trump is obviously more familiar with. TRUMP’S CONTROVERSIAL 2024 VICTORY WAS ACHIEVED WITH LIES AND MISDIRECTION Trump attempted to make the 2024 election all about the economy. We now know that this was another attempt to gaslight the American people. It is a fact that America’s voting public is the least informed in the world, and therefore his tactics were successful, if the election was fair. Evidence proves it was not. However, millions of gullible Americans believed Trump’s promises: to end the invasion of Ukraine on day one; to end inflation/Greedflation on day one; to prevent another war on foreign soil; and to reduce the national debt. How’s he doing? Stop laughing. ...

Lindsey Graham: A Tale of Good, Bad, and Very Ugly

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This story is confusing, sad, and almost unbelievable. At the center of this tale is Senator Lindsey Graham, Rep., South Carolina. Arizona Senator John McCain lost his battle for life on August 25, 2018. He and Lindsey Graham were close friends, almost inseparable. Although my beliefs and those of Senator McCain were often in direct opposition, I admired him for the only reason which mattered: Mr. McCain always acted in a manner focused on doing what he believed was the right for the American people. I believed that he and Graham shared the same principles and morals. However, after Senator McCain passed, Graham became hypocrite number one. During the 2016 campaign Graham constantly criticized Trump: a couple of examples. In 2016, Lindsey Graham wrote, "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it." "The bottom line is I believe Donald Trump would be an absolute, utter disaster for the Republican Party, destroy conservati...

Trump Admits That He Doesn’t Give a Damn About You and Your Family

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It may be dementia, senility, or simply the fact that at nearly 80 years of age, Trump is too old to be your president. However, just before he boarded AF-1 for his trip to “Jina,” Trump told the truth for the first time in his pitiful life. A reporter asked: “When you’re negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are Americans’ financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” Without hesitation, Trump replied, “Not even a little bit.” He continued: “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.” “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.” It’s always about Donald Trump and no one else. The malignant narcissist is alive and unwell in our White House. YEARS OF RESEARCHING TRUMP AND HE FINALLY TELLS THE TRUTH ...

How Much Money Are You Paying for Trump’s Wasteful Spending?

Image
39  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart        The numbers I am going to give you may sound ludicrous and unbelievable. However, I want you to understand that they come from the GAO and other federal accounting offices. You may think that when I talk about “taxpayer money,” I am referring to income tax. This is far from the truth. We all pay federal taxes on gasoline, tobacco, alcohol, and airline tickets. These are known as excise taxes. Trump is using your money for his personal benefit while destroying our nation’s floundering economy. 3 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY The national debt has been rising steadily under Trump’s failed fiscal policy. It was about 36 trillion dollars in January of 2025, and is now nearing 39 trillion. It is also interesting that over that same period of time, the number of oligarchs in America has risen from 902 to 989. I ask: has your income increased dramatically over that time? Accounting for Greedflation and the effects of Trump’...

Republicans Cannot Win Safe, Secure, and Fair Elections

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart                                                            When elections are fair, when both parties are playing by the same rules, Republicans lose elections. The two Republicans who became your president since 2000 had illegal assistance from outside sources. The 2000 election between Democrat Al Gore, and Republican George W. Bush will forever be known as the closest and most controversial presidential election in history. On election day, November 7, 2000, the outcome of the presidential election was “too close to call,” and remained that way until December 12 th . With a recount being conducted in Florida, the United States Supreme Court abused its powers and ordered ...

It’s All About Trump: Fuck the People

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart His ballroom; his war, his golf excursions, and his trips to the Lago. This and giving tax cuts to his oligarchs are bankrupting Amrica. What Trump has done since January 20 2025. What has he done for the people? Zilch. Trump is the most expensive illegitimate president in America’s history. Although he is asking for an even larger budget for next year, his personal expenditures will continue to exceed our nation’s income. How will he pay for his evil and wasteful plans? WHERE HAVE YOUR TAX DOLLARS GONE SINCE JANUARY OF 2025? I won’t step around the facts. Since January 20, 2025, he has spent millions of dollars on vengeance. Trump considers anyone who disagrees with him an enemy. Trump’s golf “excursions,” combined with his many trips to the Lago, cost taxpayers more than 10 million dollars each month. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the people’s White House. He wants to build a garish and unnecessary ballroom. He lied, promising that his oligarch’s would pay ...

On This Mother’s Day, a Clear Message to Trump and His Misogynist Party: “Let Women Make Their Own Decisions About Their Personal Mental and Physical Health”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have had a very strong opinion about abortion long before I could vote. Decisions to terminate a pregnancy belong to women alone, with the advice of their doctors. Old, white men have no right to make that decision for them, including priests, ministers, pastors, Ra bbis, Imams, and especially not ambitious and corrupt politicians. When Trump’s corrupt Supreme Court repealed Roe v Wade, they made a decision which was nothing less than pandering to Christians, primarily Evangelical leaders. It had nothing to do with undeveloped fetus’, it was purely political and another attack on women’s rights. All humans must own the right to make decisions about their own mental and physical health. MORE FASCIST ATTACKS ON WOMEN FROM TRUMP AND HIS NAZI PARTY On April 28, 2026, Jessica Waters testified before the House Judiciary Committee. For two hours, Ms. Waters was questioned about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a federal law which Republicans want to rep...

Everything Trump’s Nazi Party is Attempting is Unconstitutional, Illegal, Immoral, and a Desperate Attempt to Remain in Power

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Gerrymandering, voter suppression, supporting Trump’s many crimes against the American people, and violating their oaths of office. These are some of the crimes committed by Trump’s Nazi Party. Fact: the former Grand Old Party became nothing but a memory on January 20, 2017. No man or woman on the right side of the aisle has the courage to do the right thing for the American people, fearing they will offend their Fuhrer. The base of the American Nazi Party is shrinking. They cannot win elections without the support of Trump’s ignorant cult. ROBERTS, THOMAS, ALITO, GORSUCH, KAVANAUGH, AND BARRETT MUST BE IMPEACHED Before right-wing extremists received a super majority on the Supreme Court, the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” in red states could not have committed the crimes of today. By redrawing districts, they are suppressing the rights of minorities and the working class to have their votes be significant in the outcome of federal elections. Th...

Once a Crooked Businessman, Still a Crooked Businessman

Image
Op-ed-by TheWiseOldFart The Emoluments Clause is an effort to prevent a sitting President of the United States from profiting from his or her position financially. It is primarily focused on the man in the White House doing business with foreign nations and giving their leaders access to our nation’s pretender-in-chief. Trump violates this clause every day, as he did between 2017 and 2021. During his first four years as your illegitimate president, he made a profit of 1.7 billion dollars. FOR TRUMP, IT’S ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY In 2026, he has a new scam. [Washington, D.C. (November 25, 2025)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released a new staff report revealing how President Donald Trump and his family have transformed the presidency into a personal money-making operation, adding billions of dollars to his net worth through cryptocurrency schemes entangled with foreign governments, corporate allies, and criminal actors.] Are you surprised?

Increase in Antisemitism Caused by Trump and Netanyahu’s War Crimes

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Without Netanyahu’s influence, Trump would never have had the cojones to wage his war against Iran. Getting Trump to participate in his efforts to exterminate all Muslims was a coupe for himself and his hatred of all members of the Religion of Islam. Netanyahu’s Islamophobia is the primary reason there has never been peace in the Middle East. For two decades Netanyahu has refused to negotiate a permanent peace with Israel’s Palestinian neighbors. GROWING IN AMERICA AND ESCALATING IN GREAT BRITAIN In the last 2 ½ years, England’s Jewish community has experienced an increase in hate crimes. The situation has escalated rapidly over the last few weeks. Anti-Israel sentiment has grown in the U. S. and around the world after Netanyahu ordered the murders of more than 60,000 Palestinian men, women, and children in Gaza. Ice has chosen to challenge students in our universities and colleges as they exercised their First Amendment rights. VIOLENCE AND MURDER POSING AS PAR...

Greatest Danger to America’s Future: Six Corrupt Supreme Court Justices

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Denial, lies, rewriting the Constitution, massive corruption. These are accurate terms to describe six members of the current Supreme Court. I have been a political writer since 2012. Regardless of the failures of the executive and legislative branch, I always had faith that the Supreme Court would save our nation from complete destruction. That was until October of 2020. Crooked Moscow Mitch, Roe v Wade, June 24, 2022, voting rights, placing Trump above the law, this is Fuhrer Donald Trump’s Supreme Court. GASLIGHTING AND CATFISHING The two articles which inspired me to write this were about John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and their attempts to both gaslight and catfish the American people. They are attempting to blow smoke up our asses about how far to the right six members of the Court have become, and how they are “just doing their jobs.” Bullshit. Let’s look at their first crime against all women, and a serious violation of the intent of the Constitution. On...
