Is Trump’s Illness More Serious, and Is There Hope for Us?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I am the perfect person to confirm that Trump is far too old to be your president. The orange buffoon is older than me by three weeks. If we both live another year, we will be octogenarians.

A few facts only those of us who reach such a ‘venerable age’ think about and understand.

At the age of 79, I have surpassed the average life expectancy of an American male. The average age in 2025 is 76.1. I would be lying if I told you that mortality is never in my thoughts. I’m not obsessed or greatly concerned with that fact, but it is reality.

Every human being has an expiration date. Unlike fresh fruit at the grocery store, we do not know what that date might be. I do know that I am at an age when the basic joys of life have become fewer, or non-existent. All I can do is deal with it and enjoy what life continues to offer me.

All that aside, I know that neither I nor Trump should be America’s president. Age is a factor when your responsibility is the welfare and safety of 340 million people. Trump has additional physical and mental impairments. Doctors lie. Trump is obese, has an unhealthy diet, refuses to exercise, (he drives his golf cart onto the greens), and is clearly suffering from dementia.

On Thursday, your illegitimate president was diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency.’ This condition allows blood to pool in the lower extremities causing discoloration and swelling in the ankles and feet.

This disease is not life-threatening. However, without proper treatment and exercise, it can progress and become fatal.

His “doctors” claim that he is in ‘excellent health.’ Anyone who watched Trump stumble down a ramp, or attempt to climb the stairway onto Air Force One would not agree.

I admit one hope I have harbored for 10 years. Everyday I wake up hoping that Trump is no longer among the living. He and his fascist party have caused more damage to our nation than any other disaster in history.

Learning about this new physical problem, I will continue to have that dream every morning.

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 ...

This Supreme Court Did Something Right

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that I have been a frequent critic of the Supreme Court since 2020. I have good reason and a huge responsibility to criticize it for its corruption and political bias. However, when it does the right thing, I also have a responsibility to praise them for their actions. Thanks to a poorly written Second Amendment, which is ambiguous and lacks definition, the NRA gun lobby, paid for by gun manufacturers and gun sellers, has used this one amendment to the Bill of Rights for their own benefit. Gun violence began to escalate in America in 1976, the same year the NRA ceased its purpose as a gun safety organization, and aligned itself with the corporate world. The most recent statistic I found was from 2022. In that one year, 48,117 men, women, and children lost their lives from the use of a gun. Firearm suicide: 26,993 people. Firearm homicide: 19,592 people. Unintentional gun injury: 472 people. Fatal shooting by law enforcement: 649 peo...
