It Has Become a Tale of the Bully vs a Man with True Power

Anyone who understands the intricacies of international economics will tell the same story: tariffs are a bad idea and generally ineffective. Tariffs are the enemy of free trade, a system which encourages and enables economic growth among all nations.

However, your ignorant president, who knows nothing about anything with the exception of failing at every business venture he attempted, loves the idea of increasing prices on everything for his nation’s people, the same people he promised to better their lives by ending Greedflation.

Although Trump has partially reduced most of his moronic ideas, he continues to bully China. Big mistake.

Unlike Trump, President Xi is a very powerful and very rich man. He will not back down from a man he knows is extremely inferior to himself. Although your mainstream media fails to offer the American people the entire truth, I will tell you about Trump’s extreme disadvantage.

America is in debt. Thanks to the fiscal policy of trickle-down economics, used by the last four Republican presidents, the super-rich pay little or no taxes. This is why the United States Tax Code is 6,871 pages long, Most of the document offers ways in which taxes can be avoided entirely.

The national debt is now estimated at more than 35,000,000,000,000 dollars. Until I first wrote that number, I never knew that many zeros existed. This is unforgivable. It is important to know that America owes hundreds of billions of dollars to China. Either Trump is unaware of this fact, or he is dumber than I thought.

Trump has a small brain which works backwards. In the 21st century, no nation can exist by itself. While every other president since Eisenhower encouraged a system of free trade, guaranteeing the continued success of our nation’s largest corporations, Trump is crushing every small business in America, and creating fear among his oligarchs.

Since I could first vote in 1968, I made two rules for myself. I would always be an Independent, and I would never vote for any man or woman who I believed possessed lesser intelligence than me. It won’t surprise you that I did not vote for George W. Bush or Donald John Trump.

I do not mean to suggest that all of the 43 men who wore the label of President of the United States were smarter than you or me. I am saying that in the communication age, Bush and Trump were fully exposed for anyone who was willing to see the truth: this excludes the brainwashed viewers who watch the right-wing propaganda machine calling itself Fox News all day long.

If you understand the importance of history, the truth, not the censored versions offered by fascists on the right side of the aisle, you are aware that America has not always had the best men available leading our nation. Most of our presidents were “adequate,” some slightly better, and some slightly worse. A surprising number have been more interested in their personal agendas and failed to perform the job for which they were elected, and only a handful can be considered “great.’

Over the last 100 days, Trump cemented his place in history. For eternity, Trump will be known as the worst president to ever claim the title of President of the United States. The primary reason? He has never acted like a truth American president. He uses his position to enact revenge on his critics and to improve his own life. He has absolutely no interest in the welfare of 340 million people. Add to this his support of fascism, and there is no possibility that he could ever lose his place on the list.

President Xi is a tyrant, and made himself ‘dictator for life.’ Trump wants to be him, but lacks the intelligence and the energy to become a powerful dictator like his heroes, Adolf Hitler, and Vladimir Putin. The truth is he would be nowhere without his puppeteer.

Trump has chosen to engage in a battle of wits and courage totally unarmed. He will call President Xi and anyone else who stands up to him names, and that’s the only thing which will happen.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

“The Economy is in ‘Pretty Good Shape?’”

Image
Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
