Washington Mafia 2.0: Uglier and More Destructive

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

If you thought that Trump’s first administration was filled with the worst, most incompetent, unqualified, and corrupt men and women in the world, you were right. That is, until the Washington Mafia 2.0 in 2025.

Let’s begin at the top. Trump is now a convicted felon, committed treason on January 6, 2021, violated the Espionage Act, and became the most hated man in the world. However, he is your illegitimate president once again since January 20, 2025, and is even worse than he was four years ago.

He is spending your tax money like a drunken sailor on leave. Unnecessary placement of two flagpoles on the White House lawn, and now the construction of a 200+ million-dollar ballroom, are nothing more than efforts to placate the ego of a raging malignant narcissist. Like 2017, he fails to keep a single promise, adding ill-advised tariffs to the unnecessary harm affecting 340 million people. Did I mention that six members of the Supreme Court anointed him as America’s first dictator?

Now for just a few of his woefully unqualified administration.

J.D. Vance, Trump’s sad vice-president, once called Trump the “new Hitler,” which was accurate. He is now kissing his boss’s humongous derriere without shame and without end.

Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, was known as one of the most ineffectual senators in history. He was the laziest and least informed member of the upper house of Congress. No one I can think of could be a worse choice for such an important position.

Pete Hegseth is by far the worst choice for Secretary of Defense in history. It seems that Trump actually made some effort finding the most corrupt and unfit man possible to lead our military forces. Not only is Hegseth a confirmed alcoholic and womanizer, he embezzled funds from a military charity he once led. Trump is surrounding himself with fellow criminals.

Pam Bondi was the Attorney General for the state of Florida. Bondi never encountered a bribe she didn’t accept, including one for your illegitimate president. Now she is our country’s highest-ranking law enforcement officer. Although the AG of the US is supposed to be independent from the executive branch, when Trump screams, “do it,” she jumps as high as possible and immediately acts as ordered.

Kristi Noem murders domestic animals for fun, has no morals, and no compassion or concern for the American people. Her loyalty is to Trump alone, and as the Director of Homeland Security is making our nation a more dangerous place to live. She is more interested in spending time on raids executed by Trump’s Gestapo than doing her job.

Tom Homan leads Trump’s personal Gestapo, formally known as “ICE.” When Trump gave him the position, he was under investigation for accepting $50,000 in bribes from an undercover FBI agent. Trump’s Department of “Injustice” forced a halt to the investigation.

Homan’s “Alligator Alcatraz,” approved by Trump, is costing taxpayers $450 million each year. And, let’s not pretend this has anything to do with immigration. This is nothing less than ethnic cleansing.

Last, for now, is Robert Kennedy Jr. This man is a disgrace to the name he possesses. His father, wherever he may be, is definitely ashamed of his fat, old son. Kennedy is a science denier in all matters related to healthcare. If he is allowed to continue as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, he will be responsible for as many deaths as Trump who failed to lead our nation in the fight against Covid-19.

Seven members of Trump’s administration are billionaires. It is an irrefutable fact that most billionaires achieved such outrageous wealth through illegal and immoral actions. The biggest problem for you and me is that billionaires are totally out of touch with the majority.

These are some of the people who are ruling over you and your future.

If you voted for Trump, congratulations. ‘You ‘got what you paid for.’
