Trump’s Very, Very Bad Decisions

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

No one in history has made more bad decisions than Donald John Trump.

After working in his father’s real estate business for several years, Fred Trump gave his son multiple properties whose estimated worth was $413 million dollars in the early 1970’s. However, they were not in Manhattan. Trump sold those successful buildings and invested in what he dreamed of. First, big mistake.

Without investments from Russian oligarchs and the Saudi Royal Family, Trump would have been penniless in the 1990’s.

Trump was unfit to be involved in any legitimate business. His only choice, another bad decision, was to cheat on his taxes and lie about information on loan applications to save his failing empire.

TRUMP’S CHOICE TO BECOME INVOLVED IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

In June of 2015, Trump stood before the television cameras inside Trump Tower and announced his intention to win the Republican Party’s 2016 presidential nomination. Another big mistake.

Although he defeated the other 16 members in the clown car during the primary season, by August of 2016, his campaign was broke.

Ted Cruz had withdrawn. Tech billionaire, Robert Mercer, moved his money, spin doctor Kellyanne Conway, and campaign manager, Steve Bannon, into Trump’s camp.

With the aid of Vladimir Putin and Mercer, Trump won his first rigged election. This was America’s biggest mistake. Every elected official in Washington knew the truth, but allowed Trump to be inaugurated on January 20, 2017.

This dark day in America’s history allowed Trump to make his biggest and most disgusting mistakes.

IN JUST MONTHS, TRUMP PROVED HE WILL ALWAYS BE KNOWN AS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Immediately after his illegitimate inauguration, and knowing that six members of a corrupt Supreme Court were loyal to him, and that he would always have the protection of Moscow Mitch McConnell, Trump ignored the Constitution and made his own illegal and immoral rules. Remember, he was impeached for cause twice.

Between 2017 his bad decisions became the norm. Trump completely removed Democrats from participating in the governance of our nation. His fascist policies removed Constitutional rights from true and loyal Americans. His most harmful decision was to ignore the coming health emergency in December of 2019. Covid-19 took the lives of more than one million Americans, and placed our nation in the direction of a second Great Depression, as he continued to claim, “it will just go away.”

But he wasn’t finished making horrific decisions which will continue to harm America forever.

After he was badly beaten in the 2020 election, he made another bad decision. He decided to make one last effort to remain in power.

Trump met with aids and by video with leaders of our nation’s Neo-Nazi movement at the Willard Hotel. His purpose? To plan and organize a coup. The date would be January 6, 2021, when Congress was in session to certify the Electoral College vote.

On that day, he marched to a hastily constructed podium and instructed his fascist army to march to the Capitol Building and halt the proceedings. He ordered them to capture and kill Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. My wife and I watched the darkest day in American history, all three hours of the violent insurrection.

When he was evicted from the White House on January 20, he made another decision to violate the Espionage Act with the theft of 14 boxes of national secrets.

BIDEN RETURNS HOPE AND NORMALCY TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Although Joe Biden displayed the fact that he was a working president by immediately creating a plan to distribute the Covid-19 vaccine, the jealous, fat, old man who was soundly defeated in the 2020 election continued to lie and disrupt our nation.

Trump was put on trial in New York. He was charged with falsifying New York business records in order to conceal his illegal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election. Guilty on all 34 counts. He is a convicted felon, but will never be punished for his crimes.

In 2024, several states decided to remove Trump’s name from their ballots. They claimed that the 14th Amendment prevented Trump from running for any public office. They were correct.

However, six corrupt and biased members of the Supreme Court forced these states to place Trump’s name on their ballots, claiming that the 14th Amendment did not apply to Trump.

As they did in 2000, the SCOTUS was taking control of our presidential election. Huge mistake.

During the 2024 campaign, Trump made two criminal decisions. He encouraged Elon Musk to give him millions of dollars, and participate in the campaign although history proved that he was a member of South Africa’s Nazi Party.

Once again he accepted assistance from his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. According to several of America’s most respected tech companies. Putin and Musk funded multiple hackers to take control of the voting machines in all seven swing states.

A LIST OF TRUMP’S POOR DECISIONS SINCE JANUARY 20, 2025

Trump has pretended to be your president for the last 15+ months. During that short period of time, the orange buffoon continued to make unwise and destructive decisions.

Trump decided to select his cabinet and leaders of several critical government agencies from a list of men and women who displayed loyalty to him, exclusively. None of them had or has a single qualification for his or her position.

Recently he fired his poor choices for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and for the head of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. Hopefully, HHS Director, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, will be next.

Against the advice of America’s leading economists, the failed businessman decided to place tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. The harm he caused affects every man, woman, and child on the planet.

Most recently, he, alone, declared war on the sovereign nation of Iran. On February 28, 2026, Trump and the cowardly leaders inside of the Pentagon began bombarding Iran with Tomahawk Cruise Missiles. Trump’s War continues today. This very bad decision is costing American taxpayers more than one billion dollars each day. So much for lowering the national debt.

WHY TRUMP IS FAILING MISERABLY, AGAIN

Trump has proven that he is poorly educated, has no knowledge about government and how to serve 340 million people, and he doesn’t care. The orange buffoon is unfit to hold any public office.

Voters make mistakes. The two greatest in my lifetime happened on November 8, 2016, and November 5, 2024. Trump never should have been allowed to become your president.

Not one decision in his life has resulted in positive results. Trump’s ambitions are totally focused on himself and no one else.
