Once the World’s Champion for Civil Rights, America now Believes Human Rights are Exclusively for the Super-Rich

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Change is mostly good, as long as it moves a nation forward and increases the quality of life for all people.

However, Trump and his administration are regressive, and what they are doing to America is criminal and in direct opposition to the intent of the Constitution.

As you well know, I constantly criticize Trump, and make jokes about him. The truth is, he deserves it. He was a terrible man in 2016, but in 2025, he has become the worst person on the planet.

I consider myself a patriot, strongly believing in the words of satirist and comedian, Mark Twain.

"Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it".

Over the last 45 years, it has been rare for our government to receive any praise for its actions, and has become deserving of its condemnation for its failure to do the right thing.

As I child in the 1950’s and 1960’s, I imagined our government as a group of men who spent their days attempting to find ways to improve our nation and the quality of life for everyone. Then I left Catholic high school, and attended a public school. Thus began my real education.

Studying history, I learned a very important and irrefutable fact: “all governments are bad, some are just worse than others.”

I learned about the failures of fascism and communism. Countries whose governments adopted these extremist philosophies were all ruled by vile and ruthless autocrats; dictators who ignored their people and placed their own wishes and desires in priority.

Most of their people struggled as they lived in poverty. Human rights, the very value of human life, is of no importance for tyrannical dictators. This is the ‘real Donald Trump’ today.

Trump is a Nazi. You will never hear or read that from anyone in the mainstream media. They decided to reject facts and the truth the minute Trump received the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016.

They profited from covering Trump’s campaign far more frequently than all other candidates combined. Sensationalism increases viewership, and results in increased advertising revenue.

Add to this the fact that the owners of all major news organizations are part of Trump’s oligarchy, and be aware that nothing you see or hear on television news is reality.

What is happening is the destruction of my America. The “land of the free and the home of the brave” left the building in 2016.

Over the last ten years, Trump proved that he hates my America. The final act which forced me to hate the orange buffoon happened when he destroyed the East Wing of our White House. He does not own the people’s White House and had no right to make a unilateral decision to destroy history and tradition without our approval.

Trump is an ugly, obese, hate-filled, fascist tyrant who cares about nothing but his personal pleasure and need for relevance and importance.

Our country; the world; would be a far better place if Fred Trump had used a condom on the night Donnie Boy was conceived.
