Trump’s Plan is Working: The Rich are Getting Richer, and the Poor are Getting Poorer

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump told “his people” time and time again: “I love spending other people’s money.” Over the last 18 months we learned that for once he told the truth. His tacky remodel of the White House, a ballroom no one but he wants, the destruction of the reflecting pool, and an arch will cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Add to this the fact that his many trips on Air Force One to play golf, or travel to Mar-a-Lago are a waste of more than 10 million dollars each month. MORE PROMISES MADE, MORE PROMISES BROKEN Campaign promises which were actually lies: “I will end inflation on day one.” “I will end the invasion of Ukraine on day one.” “With me as your president, there will be no more wars in the Middel East.” There is one truth, one irrefutable fact involving everything Trump is doing while pretending to be your president. His 989 oligarchs are profiting from another Trump presidency, while the average American is struggling at the grocery store and the gas pump. Trum...

America in the 21st Century: The Nation Known for its Anger, Hatred, and Violence

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All prejudices are baseless and therefore displays of extreme ignorance. The primary reason the United States of America has never been a great nation can be found in the fact that racism and bigotry among millions of our nation’s people have never been addressed honestly or taken seriously. It is a fact that hate is a stronger emotion than love. For the informed American, it has been no secret that whatever the party on the right side of the aisle in the Capitol Building calls itself, it has been composed of men and women who are racists and bigots for more than 45 years. It is much easier to accept and understand how easy it was for Trump and his handler, Vladimir Putin, to take control of our nation’s government when we accept the fact that absolute power over this nation has been the goal of one-half of our country’s elected and appointed leaders for more than 45 years. These fascist-leaning members of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches ...

Lindsey Graham: an American Tragedy, but not What You Think

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There was a time when I held some respect for the late Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Grah am. Some of you might remember his close friendship with one of the greatest Republican senators in history, John McCain. They were inseparable, and frequently spoke the truth to the American people when no one else in their party would dare to rebuke the orange buffoon. However, after Senator McCain’s death on August 25, 2018, something happened to Graham’s mind. He turned from hero to traitor in less than a week. LINDSEY GRAHAM, PRIOR TO HIS HYPOCRITICAL SURRENDER TO DONALD TRUMP: A FEW COMMENTS FROM 2016 “This is not about who we nominate anymore as Republicans as much as it’s who we are. This is a fight for the heart and soul of the Republican Party,” Graham said. “What is conservatism? If it’s Donald Trump carrying the conservative banner I think not only do we lose the election, but we’ll be unable in the future to grow the conservative cause.”  “As much as...

“The Big Lie,” and Why Some Believe It Today

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For more than 10 years, I have been telling you that Trump was a huge fan of Adolf Hitler. Before going to sleep, he read his Fuhrer’s speeches over and over again. It is also fair to assume that he read “Mein Kampf” as well. Anyone with common sense is aware that if Trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying. However, some of his lies are laughable and others are extremely destructive. His lie about the 2020 election is not only the most infamous lie he ever told, but it also remains responsible for the great divide among our nation’s people. However, Trump did not create this lie. He learned it from Mein Kampf, Hitler’s own fascist manifesto. FROM HITLER TO TRUMP WITH HATE Hitler was a master manipulator. He knew one important fact about the average person. He was aware that if he was to be an all-powerful dictator, the people would need to believe that everything he said was fact and anything which opposed his ideas and beliefs was actually misleading and false. His...

Trump’s War is Also his Biggest Folly in 80 Years

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What do you get when you put together a mentally challenged, obese, old man, his criminal protégé, and a group of toy soldiers? Another lost war in the Middle East. There’s a lesson in this story for all the uninformed men and women who continue to support the worst man in the world, Donald John Trump. What is happening to our country today is the result of choosing a wealthy, wannabe playboy to lead the most diverse and complicated nation in the world. I could have titled this story, “The Fat Man, his Brother from Another Mother, and Their Toy Soldiers.” Whatever Trump claims he is accomplishing by unilaterally choosing to wage a deadly war against Iran is a lie. The truth: Trump is the biggest loser in America’s history. He has failed at everything he attempted to accomplish. With Pete “Dumbass” Hegseth carrying out his orders, and our incompetent military brass in the Pentagon, America has lost its fifth war since WWII, and its third in the Middle East. Not o...

Is Moscow Mitch Still Alive?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Moscow Mitch McConnell was the worst Senate Majority Leader in history. His record proves that he never accomplished a single thing in his lifetime which improved the quality of life for the average American. Everything he did was designed to enhance his personal life and increase his failing party’s power. It was Moscow Mitch who broke his own rule in 2020 and placed Amy Coney Barrett in the Supreme Court. This gave the Trump-supporting Supreme Court a super majority. With this super majority, MM accomplished his career goal. On June 24, 2022, six corrupt justices removed a woman’s right to make decisions about her own mental and physical health. Roe V Wade was overturned by a vote of 6-3. REPUBLICANS ARE HIDING THE TRUTH Moscow Mitch has been hospitalized for more than three weeks. No one can verify his condition, although some fake Republicans claim that they have spoken to the 84-year-old traitor. Personally, I hope he is no longer among the living. Like Don...

Too Old, Too Stupid, and Too Ill to Remain in Our White House

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  After 5 years and 7 months of Trump’s destructive and illegitimate presidency, I have experienced many emotions, including anger, disgust, shame, fear, sorrow, shock, and I am ashamed to admit it, but I have learned to hate. It is unnecessary and redundant to state the fact that Trump will forever be remembered by historians as the worst president in America’s 250-year history. Not once during his time defiling our White Huse has he accomplished something positive for the people he is required to serve. His every attempt is focused on satisfying his own base desires as he violates the Constitution and attempts to destroy the core of why our Founding Fathers created the United States of America in 1789. THIS WEEK I ACCEPTED THE TRUTH Trump is the stupidest man to ever hold public office. The reason I finally accepted this fact was the realization that the orange buffoon is too ignorant to realize that many of the battles he is fighting are unwinnable. Wise m...

Everything is For and About the Orange Buffoon

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A bribe from Qatar in the form of a new and more expensive to operate Air Force One. An unnecessary ballroom, no one wanted but Trump. A planned arch to honor the “greatest president of all time:” according to Dementia Donny. A costly and tacky birthday party pitting street fighters against each other. A huge failure labeled as the “Great American State Fair,” intended to celebrate our nation’s 250 th birthday. Now his latest vanity project, an unnecessary helipad on the White House grounds. SHITTING ON ANOTHER REVERED TRADITION The first presidential helicopter landed on the White House lawn on July 12, 1957. President Eisenhower, a real Republican President, used it to travel from Air Force One after landing at Joint Base Andrews in Camp Springs, Maryland. Using the helicopter saved two hours wasted in traffic. The aircraft was shared by the Army and the Marine Corp until 1976, when it officially became "Marine One." It has been the president’s pers...

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...
