Trump Becomes the Most Expensive President in U.S. History

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump knows absolutely nothing about economic security. This is not news. In the private sector he declared bankruptcy four times, including an Atlantic City casino, which is nearly impossible. He failed at every business venture in his 79 years and was “bailed out” by Russia and the Saudi Royal Family.

What Trump believes and practices is “spending other people’s money.”

Between 2017 and 2021 Trump averaged more than six million dollars each month pretending to be a real billionaire. All of his golf excursions, trips to and from Mar-a-lago, and holding his hate rallies were at taxpayer expense. So far, after pretending to be your president for seven months and 22 days, he is wasting more than 10 million dollars each month.

Now for the important facts. Trump has big plans, plans which would benefit him and add billions if not trillions of dollars to the national debt.

Recently he used 10 million dollars or your money to play golf in Scotland. He lied, claiming that the trip was ‘government business,’ but there is no record of a single positive engagement with a leader of a foreign nation. It was unnecessary, but he had two huge flagpoles installed on the White House lawn. His latest and most ridiculous and wasteful idea is the construction of a ballroom in the White House. It would cost between 200 and 400 million dollars.

And don’t forget his bribe from Qatar. In May the Trump administration officially accepted a 747-8. The plane costs an estimated 400 million dollars. The plan is to remodel the jumbo jet  and use it as Air Force One until he is once again evicted from the White House. The first estimate of the cost to retool the plane into Air Force One is at least one billion dollars.

Are you ready for Trump’s biggest economic boondoggle?

During his first four years, Trump added eight trillion dollars to the national debt. One year ago, the national debt was 34.4 trillion dollars. Today it has reached 36.99 trillion dollars. What will it be on January 20, 2029 when Trump is no longer a burden to his country?

Meanwhile, “Greedflation” is on the rise, and over the next few weeks it will increase exponentially as Trump’s ill-advised tariffs take effect. Did I warn you that Trump would be a disaster?

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...
