An Apology to Everyone Who Voted for Trump in 2024?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I apologize. It’s easy to understand why millions of Americans chose Trump over Kamala Harris in the November 5, 2024 election.

Who wouldn’t vote for an old, obese man who is in the early stages of dementia? His accomplishments are many. His father paid for deferments from the Vietnam War, and paid for his diploma from Wharton. After Wharton, he went to work for his fathers racist real estate business, refusing to rent apartments to Black Americans. He declared bankruptcy at least four times in the private sector, including an Atlantic City Casino. He continues his attempts to sell cheap merchandise for outrageous prices while wearing the title of President of the United States.

However, his greatest accomplishments involve his ability to evade punishment for his many crimes.

He was convicted on 34 counts of felony fraud: no punishment. He organized, planned, and exercised the failed overthrow of our government on January 6. He was never charged with treason, although anyone who watched all three hours of the darkest day in American history remains angry and in shock. On the day he was evicted from the White House, Trump violated the Espionage Act by stealing at least 14 boxes of national secrets. What a great, patriotic leader?

Multiple tech companies and other groups are investigating allegations of interference by hacking into the voting machines of all seven swing states by Russian agents.

Every promise made during the 2024 campaign was a lie. In private, he calls his supporters “basement dwellers.”

All this and a confirmation that he will never pay for any of his many crimes. The most corrupt six justices in Supreme Court history granted Trump absolute immunity placing him above the law, including his many Constitutional violations.

All this makes him the most qualified candidate in history?

What the fuck is wrong with this country? The answer is clear: uninformed and apathetic voters who learn everything they need to know on television.

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...
