Trump Was Emphatic About the Fact that He Doesn’t Care About You, Why Should You Care About Him?

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The entire job of a president is to serve and care for the needs, wishes, and safety of his/her people. Donald Trump is not an American president by any stretch of the imagination. Over his nearly 80 pitiful years, his only concern has been himself. This malignant narcissist takes pleasure in the pain of others. That’s the one thing he is good at.

LOOKING AT HIS MANY CRIMES, TWO STAND ABOVE ALL THE OTHERS

When Trump committed treason on January 6, 2021, my wife and I were two of the few who actually experienced the darkest day in American history.

When Trump unilaterally decided to wage a war on the sovereign nation of Iran on February 28, 2026, he not only violated the Constitution, he committed a war crime. A part of this story includes the pain he inflicted on the American people. Not only has his illegal and immoral war cost taxpayers at least one billion dollars each day, the cost of essentials, including gasoline, continue to reach prices no one has experienced previously in our nation’s 250-year history.

A REAL PRESIDENT WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS/HER PEOPLE

I experienced 14 presidents in my lifetime. All of them would admit that the pain their citizens are experiencing was of great concern. They would have had a plan to reverse the problem asap. Not Donald Trump.

[Speaking on the White House South Lawn before departing for a diplomatic trip to China, Trump was asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations” were motivating him to make a deal with Iran.

[“Not even a little bit,” Trump replied. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran — they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing — we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.”]

I HATE THE FACT THAT EVERYONE I KNOW IS MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THEIR ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT

It appears to me, and most other Americans, that Trump woke up on February 28 and thought: “I’m not golfing today, what can I do to entertain myself and distract the fact that Jeffrey and I shared everything for 15 years? I know: I’ll order my idiotic generals to attack Iran.”

What is happening today, May 23, 2026, is obvious. The Pentagon is losing another war: its fifth since WWII.

Trump has never learned from history that a war in the Middle East is unwinnable. Buildings might be destroyed and innocent people murdered, but the people will never surrender to outside forces. Trump is a godless heathen and fails to understand the importance of religion to true believers.

It is hard to believe that after Russia’s huge defeat in Afghanistan between 1979 and 1989, waging war in the Middle East is futile.

Just look at Bush’s two failures in Afghanistan and Iraq. Thousands of lives were lost and trillions of dollars wasted and not a single positive result was achieved.

TRUMP LISTENS TO NO ONE

It’s clear that Trump has no interest in serving all 340 million Americans. Although his approval ratings are at an all-time low, and continuing to move in the wrong direction, he simply doesn’t care. He has become a dictator and not a very intelligent tyrant.

“Recent polling indicates that 60% of Americans oppose the current U.S.-Israeli conflict in Iran, with only about 30% supporting it. Furthermore, when specific escalations are considered, 74% of voters oppose deploying U.S. ground troops to the region and 62% oppose a U.S. ground invasion.”

History proves that no one “wins” a war. Although the United States was forced into WWII, more than 400,000 Americans lost their lives. The two nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to abruptly end the war in the South Pacific took the lives of about 250,000 innocent men, women, and children. Every nation involved sacrificed the lives of their finest young men and women in numbers which are unimaginable. The economic cost of the war cannot be accurately estimated.

One fact must never be forgotten: During the 2024 campaign, Trump promised the American people that, “there would be no more wars on foreign soil when he became president.” And yet, here we are in the third week of May and no end is in sight.

Sadly, that was just another lie from the mouth of your illegitimate president.
