Trump’s Ignorance and Apathy for Others Explain his Historically Low Approval Ratings

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump claims that he “has a very good brain.” That may be true, but there’s a problem: it’s also very small and of no use to an 80-year-old man. After five years and nearly seven months pretending to be your president, Trump has accomplished nothing of importance; nothing to improve the lives of 340 million people. However, he can brag about one thing: he has the lowest approval ratings of any president in history. REASONS FOR HIS “SUCCESS” How did one old, obese man come to be disliked and even hated by millions of people, not only in America, but around the world? It all began in June of 2015 and a ride down an escalator. But let’s focus on what he has done and said since January 20, 2025. From the first day of his second illegitimate term, his focus was clearly not on keeping his promises and addressing our nation’s most serious problems. Instead, the malignant narcissist concentrated on taking revenge. Trump intentionally divided our country’s people between...

I Shouldn’t Be Writing About This Shit

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last 45 years, nearly one-fifth of America’s existence, our government, our leaders, have failed to accomplish anything which positively affects all 340 million Americans. Nothing proves this with greater significance than failures across the nation last Saturday. Gun violence continues to escalate across America and this situation could easily be controlled if our government had the courage to do the right thing. This was supposed to be the 250th celebration of our nation’s Declaration of Independence from England. In a normal year, Thomas Jefferson’s eloquent and heartfelt message would have been read out loud at every gathering in the country, giving every American a reason to be proud of his or her origin. Not this year: not in Trump’s America. WORDS INTENDED TO INSPIRE A NATION If these few words in the Declaration of Independence don’t make your hear flutter just a little, you have no idea what our nation was meant to be. [We hold these truths to ...

Another Failure for the Man Holding the Record for the Most Failures in a Single Lifetime

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A celebration devoted to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, will also be remembered for a fire on the Brooklyn Bridge, a debacle in San Francisco, cancelled parades, the longest and most boring fireworks display in history, and a mass shooting on Coney Island. BEGINNING AT THE TOP What should have been a promise to renew the intent of the Declaration of Independence became another politically motivated Trump hate rally and turned a celebration into a memoriam for what America once strived to become. A few words to remind all Americans why we celebrate the 4 th of July. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” This one sentence was a summation of the core values the New Nation would stand upon. I can understand why Trump failed to refer to the document which in...

Grading the First 18 Months of Your Illegitimate President and His Administration

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our country has survived 66 months of Trump’s illegitimate rule over 340 million people. It hasn’t been easy. His regressive and destructive policies and words challenge even the most patriotic men and women in America. Truth be told, his old age, combined with an historical level of incompetence, allowed our nation to celebrate 250 years of existence today. PROMISES UNKEPT, FAILURES ABOUND, THE RESULT OF OLD AGE AND DEMENTIA? All politicians are liars. Trump is not only the worst president in history by far, he holds the record for telling the most outrageous lies imaginable. During the 2024 campaign, Trump made multiple promises, as do all professional politicians. However, three of his guarantees to the voting public contributed to his controversial victory. Trump stood before his cult and millions of uninformed Americans promising that he would end Greedflation and the invasion of Ukraine on day one. He also promised that with him in the White House, there w...

Joe Lombardo is a Fraud and a Liar

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, is a Trump Lacky. He is also, like his handler, a tool of the super-rich. If you live in Nevada, you have likely watched his expensive and professionally produced commercials. In them, professional actors claim that Lombardo has improved our state’s healthcare, schools, and made housing affordable. Here are the irrefutable facts. FOUR YEARS LATER, NEVADA IS IN A HEALTHCARE CRISIS Joe Lombardo became Nevada’s governor in 2022. Like his hero, Donald Trump, he has accomplished nothing. The truth reveals that the Silver State is in crisis when the subject is healthcare. MY ADVIDE: DON’T GET SICK IN NEVADA [In 2026, Nevada consistently ranks near the bottom for overall healthcare and health system performance. Key indexes place the state as 31st, 42nd, and 50th nationally. Nevada struggles with a severe shortage of primary care providers and frequently ranks second in the U.S. for residents avoiding care due to high costs.] I can attest...

The Pentagon Loves Its Soldiers Until They Return From the Battlefield

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: the citizens of every nation in the world have never declared war against any other country. Governments are responsible for every war in history, and governments force their nation’s people to fight their battles. Our military leaders in the Pentagon and our government love our soldiers until they come home. When they have been seriously wounded, physically or mentally, they and their families become a nuisance. WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT I’m sure you have seen the commercials for an organization called the Wounded oWarrior Project. It is admirable to care for the men and women who fought for our country and arrive home with serious physical and/or mental disabilities. My question is, “why does it exist?” It seems logical to me that the men and women who choose to engage in wars have a responsibility to care for anyone they sent into harm’s way. PENTAGON’S FINANCIAL FAILURES The Pentagon budget for 2027 is expected to surpass one trillion dollars. This is m...

Words Describing Trump: Traitor, Mentally Challenged, Don of the Washington Mafia, and Grifter, to Name a Few

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump can never be called “Mr. President.” He never has performed the duties required of our nation’s leader, and he never wanted to be a president in 2016. In 2024, things had changed. Trump was facing charges for treason, January 6, and violating the Espionage Act, January 20, 2021. He was also broke, having lost the money he profited illegally as your illegitimate president between 2017 and 2021. The irrefutable truth is that he did not become your president. Nothing he has done in 17 months can be called “presidential.” TRUMP WAS DESPERATE TO WIN IN 2024, BUT ONLY FOR REASONS IMPORTANT TO HIM Those of us who watched the darkest day in American history, January 6, 2021, know the truth, and it is undeniable. Trump organized, planned, and executed an attempted, violent coup just two weeks before he was evicted from the White House. Like everything else in his life, the event was another failure. He and his Nazi army should be in various federal prisons today. I...

The Fact That it Was Not Unanimous Confirms Massive Corruption and Incompetence on the Court

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Supreme Court did the right thing: at least most of them did. The 14 th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born in any of our 50 states. Your racist president demanded that the six justices he owns uphold his executive order and void this section of the 14 th Amendment. The only responsibility the Court has is to protect the Constitution. The vote was 6-3 with Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissenting. Kavanaugh voted with the majority, but agreed only that ‘federal legislation enacted in the 1950s grants automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S.’ It says a lot about America and our corrupt government in the 21 st century. There is no reason why it was not unanimous. NO ONE CAN PICK AND CHOOSE THE PARTS OF THE CONSTITUTION THEY SUPPORT, INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT You may have noticed that under Trump, his administration, his corrupt members of the legislative and judicial branches, America has become a lawless nation if you are not pure whi...

Not Sorry, Donny Dementia, We Are Laughing at You, not With You

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You lost a war, your reflecting pool turned “vomit green,’ and your Great American State Fair is already a bust before it begins. How can all real Americans not laugh at you? I have referred to Trump as the orange buffoon for more than a decade. The reason? Because he is. His 80 years on this planet are filled with failures. Many of them are moronic and laughable. How can I not laugh at an old, obese clown who lies constantly, although the truth is there for everyone to see? How stupid can one man be? Trump continues to believe that he can gaslight the American people. Everyone laughed at George W. Bush. Every day there was a new “Bushism.” Compared to Trump’s misuse of the English language, Bush was the new William Jennings Bryan. FOR 80 YEARS EVERYTHING TRUMP ATTEMPTED, FAILED When Trump chose his cabinet and closest advisers, if I didn’t know better, I would have thought that he was “punking” the American people. Kristi Noem, Robert Kennedy Jr., Marco Rubio, ...

The Promise Never Achieved by Those Who Succeeded Our Founding Fathers

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The greatest weakness in humans is the reason why America has never been a great nation. It is the most common evil inherent to every culture, every race, and every man and woman claiming to be religious. Prejudice in its many forms reveals ignorance and the need to feel superior to others. Prejudices including racism, bigotry, misogyny, and religious extremism prevent the most important promise in the first line of the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence: equality for everyone. A PREVIOUSLY INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT IS NOW THE MOST CORRUPT IN THE WORLD Our government has failed its people in many ways. A massive increase in gun violence began in 2017, could be ended with a single vote, and would in no way violate the Second Amendment. Our country has never demanded fair taxation. 95 percent of the 6,871 page tax code includes measures which allow the wealthy to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. As long as our nation’s big businesses continue ...

Will Trump Ever Tell the Truth? Very, Very Unlikely

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump and the Trump Party are composed of liars, incompetents, and racists. I have said many times that “if Trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying.” Trump loves to brag about other Democratic president’s accomplishments, claiming them as his own. However, when he fails, which is every time he attempts to do anything, he blames his debacle on someone else. A FAILURE A MINUTE Like his lies, Trump’s failures have reached numbers too big to count. And the saga continues. First, and foremost, you must know that everything Trump attempts is an effort to satisfy his insatiable ego. This fact is the result of a lifelong mental disease known as “malignant narcissism,” combined with advancing dementia. His latest efforts, and therefore his latest failures, involve the reflecting pool on the National Mall, and his tacky plan to celebrate our nation’s 250 th anniversary. He is calling it the “Great American State Fair.” When it began this week, the water in the reflecting poo...

Don’t You Just Hate It When Siblings Can’t Get Along?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Since 2015, Trump and Tucker Carlson have been like brothers from another mother. They shared fascist beliefs, and constantly lied about what was actually happening in Washington and red states. However, as it happens in many families, these siblings have parted ways, and the split is filled with anger and accusations. REVEALED: THE REAL DONALD TRUMP Carlson told a reporter that Trump’s unilateral decision to begin a war with Iran, and the fact he and our incompetent leaders in the Pentagon failed to accomplish a single goal, and therefore lost the war, reveal the irrefutable fact that he is a “weak, old man.” He also referred to him as “buffoonish,” After Trump’s incessant posting on Truth Social, Carlson uttered the words, “Shut-up Bitch,” and offered his opinion of your failed and illegitimate president. “After the four hundredth Truth Social, they reached the same conclusion that everyone on the globe reached, which was, ‘This guy’s not strong, he’s weak.’ S...

Trump’s America is a Shithole

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The facts are irrefutable. Donald Trump is America’s greatest traitor, and its greatest enemy, equaled only by his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. To call him “America’s worst president in history” is redundant. Two impeachments, zero fair trials in the Senate: committing treason on January 6, 2021: violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021: responsible for many of the one-million-plus deaths from Covid-19 after failing to take immediate action: and placing our economy in proximity to a second great depression: these are the highlights of Trump’s first term between 2017 and 2021. From his first day in office until today, his second term is far, far worse. PROJECT 2025: 922 PAGES OF FASCIST DOCTRINE On January 21, 2025, Trump revealed his plans for the next four years. He began efforts to destroy the lives of his enemies: more than 200 million patriotic Americans. His early Constitutional violations were efforts to use his position as your illegitimate president...

Trump is a Liar, a Fraud, and he Cheats at Golf

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I find it ludicrous to believe that Trump and his propaganda machines, Fox News, News Nation, and the others, continue to repeat the biggest lie in history.  “The 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history.” This statement was made by Christopher Krebs after the election was confirmed. He was the man Trump selected to be his election czar. He was telling the truth. 60 state courts threw out Trump’s false allegations. His own, stacked Supreme Court examined the filings offered by Trump’s attorneys and refused to address his big lie. The truth is, Trump got his humongous derriere kicked. Suffering from a lifelong mental illness, his ego is incapable of accepting another defeat. RIGHT-WING VOTER SUPPRESSION Using Trump’s big lie, red states are once again engaged in actions which can only be called voter suppression. They are attempting to hide the truth, citing the “2020 rigged election.” Here’s the truth about voter fraud in the United States. Th...

Bernie Sanders is Right, and the American People Know It

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The term is “Democratic Socialism.” Read the definition and think about the biggest problems most Americans face today, and ask yourself if it makes sense. [Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that advocates for a decentralized, socially-owned economy operating within a democratically controlled political system. It seeks to dismantle corporate power, shift resources away from profit-driven motives toward social need, and empower workers in their daily lives.”] This IS the basic intent of our Founding Fathers: the people should have a voice in everything happening in our nation’s capital. The people support the change. Look at the results of yesterday’s New York primary elections. FROM CAPITALISM TO THE CURRENT PLUTOCRACY: MOST AMERICANS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN From 1789 through the end of the 2j0th century, America has been a capitalistic society. America’s largest corporations have controlled the economy and therefore the future of our nation...

Trump’s Obstruction of Justice has Become Standard Operating Procedure

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nothing about Trump’s self-created persona is real. There are irrefutable facts on full display that the orange buffoon is a very old, obese, mentally deficient pretender who is desperate to remain relevant and powerful. He is intentionally destroying the core fabric of American values. The truth is that Trump’s mental acuity is in steep decline. A combination of his lifelong affliction with malignant narcissism and escalating dementia are apparent for everyone to see and he must be removed from the presidency if our nation is to be saved from extinction. THE UNTOLD TRUTH Trump’s Nazi Party is in chaos. Without his supporters and the reality of a growing number of Republicans who are deserting the once Grand Old Party, right-wing politicians are existing in an atmosphere consisting of uncertainty and fear. Not a single man or woman calling themselves “Republican” today, is concerned about anything other than reelection. The midterm elections are critical for Tru...

Someone Needs to Tell the Truth: This is What’s Wrong With America

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The hidden list: Healthcare, education, income inequality, racism and bigotry, religious persecution, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and an illegitimate and fascist president who hates his own country. Trump has been allowed to be your illegitimate president for five years and five months. He failed to take his job seriously between 2017 and 2021, and is once again refusing to serve the American people in 2026. Trump is the ultimate, professional politician. He made hundreds of promises over the last eleven years, and failed to keep one of them. President Biden spent four years repairing the damage caused by the orange buffoon. Therefore, not a single effort to solve our nation’s growing problems has been addressed since President Obama left office in 2017. Let’s look at each of the biggest problems facing America, many of which began in 1981, and have only become more problematic over the last 45 years. THE WORST AND MOST EXPENSIVE HEALTHCARE IN ALL DEVELO...

Admit it Donny Dementia: You Fucked Up: No more Attempts to Gaslight the American People

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is no vandalism. For once in your waste of human life, admit that you fucked up. You gave a friend a “no bid” contract for an unnecessary rebuild of the reflecting pool, and it is clear that he had no idea what he was doing. It appears that he took some of the Hispanic employees you have at Mar-a-Lago to do the job. Big mistake. It turned vomit green as it was being filled, and I assume he used regular house paint to cover the bottom instead of marine-quality paint. SAD, SO SAD The irrefutable truth is that Trump’s life story is a tale of abject failure. He has never accomplished anything of value in 80 years. He has made many mistakes, although he continues his lie: “I have never done anything wrong.” He attempts to justify the fact that he is a draft dodger. He also refuses to admit that when Covid-19 became deadly in America, his claim that “it will just go away” resulted in more than a million deaths In 2024, uninformed voters gave Trump a second chan...

The “Can’t Do Anything Right” Administration

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As a political junkie and a lover of history, I am aware that most American presidents and their administrations were nearly worthless. I have experienced 14 of them, and only four made an effort to improve the lives of the people: John Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden. Every man calling himself a “Republican” was only concerned with the welfare of the rich and powerful. None of these men reached the depravity and incompetence of the least qualified man in the world, Donald John Trump, and his useless administration. EVEN WHEN HE TRIES TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIMSELF, HE FAILS Immediately, when he walked into the Oval Office on his first day, he created the Department of Government Efficiency. Even the title was a joke. Then he placed the wealthiest man in the world in control of DOGE. Elon Musk is a Nazi from South Africa, and knows nothing about America and its method of governing 340 million people. Trump promised to reduce the national debt by ...

When the Plague Comes, Thank Robert Kennedy Jr. and Trump

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I have been trying to understand why Trump chose the least qualified men and women to be on his cabinet and lead our nation’s most critical agencies. I finally realized that this is another display of his lifelong mental illness: malignant narcissism. Trump knows nothing about anything. Therefore, choosing men and women who are even dumber than he is seems normal. FIRING NOEM, BONDI, AND GABBARD WAS A GOOD BEGINNING Real Americans celebrated when Trump fired Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Three other names came to my mind immediately: Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, (not “of War), FBI Director, Kash Patel, and most importantly Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr. It appears to me that Kennedy is attempting to kill as many of our nation’s people as possible. He is nothing less than a witch doctor who makes things up as he wakes up each mornin...
