“Everything I Need to Know, I Learn from Television”

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The above statement, learning everything you need to know from the “boob tube,” might suggest that anyone who believes this to be true is poorly educated, and probably cannot read. You would be right.

What you might not know, is this statement came from your illegitimate president in 2018 during his second year, and first term.

In 2025, nothing has changed. When Trump is in the White House, on rare occasion, he is sitting in a room adjacent to the Oval Office watching Fox Noise. His own words and actions prove that he believes the fallacious broadcasts from the original “fake news” network.

Trump’s latest focus evolves from a story on Fox. Fox leads the nation in Islamophobia. So when Trump watched a story about Islamic persecution against Christians in the African Country of Nigeria, Trump stumbled back into the Oval Office and placed a call to the Pentagon.

[US President Donald Trump has ordered the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle Islamist militant groups, accusing the government of failing to protect Christians.]

Here we go again? One of America’s greatest mistakes, and evils according to other nations, is attempting to be “the world’s policemen.”

Few of the 13 presidents I watched in my 79 years, sadly, one of them twice, placed the problems of our nation’s people, ahead of focusing on what happens on the other side of the world, and the demands of the super-rich.

Not one of those 13 men has been more guilty of making false campaign promises, and ignoring the problems facing the majority of 340 million people, than Dictator Donny Trump. Trump is the “do nothing,” illegitimate president.

Two of Trump’s 2024 campaign promises were to ‘end inflation and end the invasion of Ukraine on day one.’

More promise filled with nothing but hot air.

My bride and I are seniors, living on a fixed income. Our bills from the grocery store continue to be 60-70 percent higher, and growing. A few days ago, my wife returned from a shopping trip to a discount grocery store, where we bag our own groceries.

On her list was a bottle of one of my favorite alcoholic beverages, bottled in Canada. Trump’s ill-advised tariffs came home. The price had increased from $12.99, to $17.99.

I am not happy living in Trump’s America. He is without question the worst president in American history. Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement. He and his 902 oligarchs are in complete control of how my wife and I spend the remaining years of our lives. The truth is, he and his greedy oligarchs simply don’t care about the vast majority of our nation’s pepple.

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...
