All Signs Point to Trump’s Inability to Complete Four Years

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

If you read me regularly, I frequently offer my opinion that Trump would not complete his second term as your illegitimate president just weeks after the inauguration. I am no longer alone. Other political writers are noticing a steep decline in his physical and mental abilities.

What did you expect? Although I expected the truth to come into the light of day, confirming that the 2016 and 2024 elections were “rigged by Putin,” Trump is the oldest man ever elected, legally or illegally, to the presidency.

If we look at Trump’s “second coming” on January 20, 2025, it was immediately clear that Trump lacks any ability to think clearly. Bringing Elon Musk into his administration was ignorant and irresponsible. Musk, like Trump, had no experience at any level in government. Trump claimed that he would reduce the national debt by at least two trillion dollars. He did not

At the same time, Trump was planning to place tariffs on everyone, including our closest allies, destroying the efforts of his predecessors to encourage free trade and strengthen the world’s economy. He was warned that this failed policy would add as much as 10 trillion dollars to the national debt, contradicting his decision to create the “Department of Government Efficiency.”

However, for me, this is old news. What might interest you are opinions from trained medical personnel.

Their observations include tales which were clearly fantasy. Trump claimed that his uncle knew the Unabomber. On another occasion be told reporters that he knew a great deal about science because he had an uncle who graduated from MIT and was the greatest scientist in the world. And of course, his biggest lie, claiming that he won the 2020 election, although more than 60 state courts and his own stacked Supreme Court threw out his court filings, citing no evidence.

In 2015 Trump allowed the press and everyone else to learn about his private life. Over the last 10 years the orange buffoon confirmed his affliction with malignant narcissism.

Malignant Narcissism: “A term for an extreme, destructive form of narcissism characterized by a combination of narcissistic traits (grandiosity, entitlement) with antisocial behaviors, sadism (delighting in others' pain), and paranoia. Unlike other forms of narcissism, malignant narcissists actively seek to harm, manipulate, and control others for their own gain, often showing little to no remorse. While not a formal diagnosis in the DSM-5, it's recognized by mental health professionals as a severe and dangerous manifestation of narcissistic personality disorder.”

Physical decline: We have all watched Trump attempt to walk on uneven surfaces. We watched him fall asleep at his own criminal trial. After pictures of his ankles were revealed, showing serious swelling and discoloration, his staff admitted that he is suffering from “chronic venous insufficiency,” a disease common among men over the age of 70.

I am three weeks younger than Trump and suffer from a similar problem.

Another sign of old age was discovered in the Oval Office. His right hand was marred with a large, red bruise. He tried to cover it up, but failed.

I have experienced the same problems. At 79, I bruise very easily and often.

All of these physical problems are not serious by themselves. However, I can tell you that added together, they can become extremely dangerous and debilitating as the months and years race by.

The real problem is simple: No man or woman nearing the label “octogenarian” should become our nation’s president. The aging process is normal and inevitable. Trust me: I hate the problems I face every day.

Reality: the average age of all Americans in 2025 is 38.7 years of age. Trump and I more than double that number. It is a display of great ignorance that anyone believes this young nation can be effectively governed by an elderly, inexperienced, obese man who displays a growing, disabling malady, like dementia.

Over the last seven months and nine days, every action, every word originating from Trump has been destructive. The term is “you get what you paid for.”
