How the Media Created “Trumpenstein”

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

Trump is not a smart man, and I’m being very kind. In 2023/24, he appears to be in early stages of senility. There is no possible way his low level of intelligence orchestrated his success in politics.

Before Trump, George W. Bush was undoubtedly the worst, least intelligent president in American history. However, it took less than six months for Trump to prove that he would forever be the worst man to ever reside in the White House. However, he had a great deal of help.

His incompetent party, led by the old man in the Senate, Moscow Mitch McConnell, covered up his many crimes, proved he was above the law, and offered unfettered loyalty, although in private they despised the weak-minded old, obese, white man who failed at everything in his 77 years. Trump remains the least qualified presidential candidate to seek either major party’s nomination. However, it was the press, the once respected Fourth Estate, which aided his and Vladimir Putin’s efforts to win the Electoral College.

I totally agree with an article in the Daily Kos. He has been allowed to break all the rules and avoid all the norms of our national elections.

{• Let Trump opt out of the Debates, with no consequences      — Check!

• Cover Trump like he’s still a credible candidate      — Check!

• Ignore Trump’s threats and ramblings as quaint     — Check!

• Treat Trump’s tweets as ‘just Trump being Trump’    — Check!

• Fail to put 2 + 2 together, 4 what it means for the nation, if Trump actually wins   — Check!

You’ve done everything in your power, to just let Trump skate back into the Office, that he belongs nowhere near.

With very few exceptions, you keep giving Trump a pass on his behavior — out of some warped, misplaced sense of respect for him, simply because the Office he once held (and trashed).}

Since 2015 the media displayed favoritism for Trump, giving him five-times more coverage than all other candidates combined. The reason? “Sensationalism sells advertising.” America’s only true “god” is money. The once respected Fourth Estate quietly passed away in the 1980’s.

Anyone who supports Trump is either a traitor to our nation’s principles, or has a brain composed of corn nuts: or both. He has never been a patriotic American and never should have been our nation’s 45th president.

If in the most insane of all possibilities Trump should win in November, our nation will become nothing but a memory. Everything being an American meant for me in my 77 years will have meant nothing. I am so pleased that I am not a young man in 2024.

I Want You to Think About the Reasons for, and the Reality of Domestic Terrorism

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   From FBI Director Christopher Wray: “Domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to the American people.” Everyone remembers the name Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19, 1995 where 168 innocents were murdered, 19 of them small children. The media reported stories about Ted Kaczynski, dubbed “The Unabomber,” for 17 years, beginning in 1978. However, domestic terrorism is much more common in our country than reported by the media. Large events receive the headlines, but mass shootings continue to happen more frequently than the number of days on the calendar. After the cowardly attacks on 9/11, Republican politicians misdirected the facts related to domestic terrorism and focused their attacks on all Muslims, insinuating that they were all enemies of the United States. The truth is that the greatest danger lies within our own people, and it is related to uncontrolled gun violence and the greed of those involved in their manufacture and sales

One Very Serious and Critical Question: Why Do Republicans Hate America?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   It is an irrefutable fact that today’s pseudo-Republicans hate the principles of our Founding Fathers, and have no interest in the future of the American People. Studies prove that they are opposed to every issue favored by the majority. The leader of their party is a lifelong criminal, a sexual predator, a fascist, the biggest traitor in American history, and the worst American president by far. I couldn’t make this s**t up. The truth is that the real Republican Party began to implode in 1981. Trump and his followers completed its demise in 2017, and it will never return. The ideals and principles of the former Grand Old Party are dead and forgotten. Today’s group has moved so far to the right they have embraced the ideas of fascism. Human rights, liberty and justice for all, and the ideals of understanding and compassion have long been forgotten. Money is their only god, and support from the wealthiest five percent of our nation’s people is priority number o

Why my Wife Wants to Move to Canada

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I continue to claim that after four years of an illegitimate Trump presidency, the United States is one election away from becoming a fascist regime. A Republican win by any of their unqualified men or women in 2024 would signal the end of my America. Our neighbor to the north is already making preparations for the time when our government surrenders 330 million people to a dictator. [Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada has been considering a "game plan" for how it would respond if the United States takes a far-right, authoritarian shift after next year's presidential election.] If I haven’t reported enough information to create an atmosphere of fear over the last 10 years, my efforts have failed. Maybe the fact that Canada is taking steps to thwart the effect of an autocratic society to its south will awaken some of the uninformed. Here’s the way I see it, tell me if I’m wrong. About 30-40 percent of all Americans c
