How do you Like your “Grifter-in-Chief” Now?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump has finally accomplished something, but not for the American people. In just over one year, Trump and his family have increased their personal wealth by about $1.4 billion. Trump continues to violate the Emoluments Clause with the use of his position as your illegitimate president. This number is near the amount he profited between 2017 and 2021 of $1.7 billion.

Trump has been licensing his name in multiple foreign nations. This is a direct violation of the Emoluments Clause and punishable by impeachment for a record third time. The orange buffoon has finally learned something about pretending to be your president: how to commit more crimes he hoped no one would discover.

47 WAYS TRUMP HAS MADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MOST AMERICANS WORSE

I won’t list them all: you can read them in the article I will refer at the end of my own. However, while Trump is stuffing his Gucci wallet with more illegal funds, most Americans are struggling more than ever before in the 21st century. Here a just a few of his 47 crimes against the American people.

Most grocery prices are still higher than they were a year ago.

Trump’s family businesses are making billions while small business owners see higher prices and smaller margins with wild tariff charges.

He’s making your streaming platforms more expensive by directing corporate mergers to favor his donors, especially in media. Less competition = higher prices for media + streaming services. 

While corporate media consolidates, public media was cut to the bone. 

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill slashed Medicaid and other social services – attacking seniors, people with disabilities, and working families.

Trump made your healthcare more expensive by blocking legislation to keep monthly premiums low.

He’s flooding our streets with armed ICE agents and the National Guard, turning our neighbors against us in our own streets.

I BELIEVE RONALD REAGAN WAS THE 3RD WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, HOWEVER, HE GOT SOME THINGS RIGHT

Reagan said: “Ask yourselves, are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

I will not pretend to speak for anyone else. However, my wife and I are on a fixed income and are forced to pay 60 percent more for our groceries, 20 percent more for energy, and about 40 percent more for gasoline. The federal excise taxes we pay will be used to construct Trump’s unnecessary ballroom, and fund another illegal and unwinnable war in the Middle East.

“If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it.” George Santayana

Trump never reads. He knows nothing about anything. He does not believe that the lessons we learn from the past are more important than those we learn from the present.

It is a fact that the United States is a very young country. Our leaders continue to make mistakes, big and small. It is fair that you and I have expectations that our elected officials will not repeat the mistakes made by their predecessors. How naïve we have become.

America’s government is the most corrupt in the world. Most of the men and women who receive our votes work for themselves, not for us. And Trump is the worst in history. For 80 years he has cared for only one person: Donald John Trump. He is not an American President.

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 ...

In the Most Diverse Nation in the World, DEI is the Right Thing to Do

Image
Why is Trump determined to crush any efforts to implement a policy of DEI in American business? Simple. He is a Nazi and the leader of the white supremacist movement in America. He was raised to believe that whites were the persecuted race and men and women of color were attempting to take control of our nation. Trump’s idols are the worst men in history, including Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the Cown Prince of Saudi Arabia; Mohammad bin Salman. He studied Hitler’s speeches every night. It is true that none of this can be proven. However, several individuals claimed that Trump’s father, “Fred Trump,” attended KKK rallies. What is undeniable fact involves Fred Trump’s real estate empire. Rental agents employed by Trump’s apartments were instructed to place a large red “C” at the top of any applications submitted by men and women of color. Trump worked for his father in these buildings after he received his diploma, obviously purchased by his father, from Wharton Business College. ...
