DJT’s Administration of Fraud, Graft, and Corruption
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Liars, fraud, massive corruption, graft, and incompetence:
these are part of the list of negative attributes which compose the Trump
administration.
Recent surveys reveal one critical fact about the upcoming
midterm elections: all Americans, Republicans and Democrats alike are fed up
with Trump and his anti-American administration.
Let me set the record straight: I consider the leaders of
our military sitting on their fat derrières in the Pentagon a significant part
of Trump’s fascist army. If I believed that before, I am 100 percent convinced
after the firing of employees working for “Stars and Stripes.”
MILITARY BRASS, LIVING LIVES OF LUXURY AND PRIVILEGE, WHILE
REGULAR MILITARY PERSONNEL STRUGGLE WHEN THEY RETURN HOME
Stars and Stripes began publishing its magazine in 1861. The
following is its mission statement.
[Core Purpose: The sole mission of Stars and Stripes is to
provide first-hand reporting from bases around the world and unbiased, credible
news to America’s military
[Editorial Independence: Its guiding framework emphasizes
that it operates as an independent news organization "editorially
independent of interference from outside its own editorial
chain-of-command" and is uniquely governed by the principles of the First
Amendment while serving U.S. service members and their families.]
One fact cannot be reputed or denied: all military
organizations are fascist by necessity. They are authoritarian in nature. Power
is achieved through rank, and orders from a higher-ranking officer must be
obeyed without question, without dissent. There is no room for free thought or
independent action.
Trump is the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement.
Yesterday, a federal judge upheld the Pentagon’s right to
fire multiple Stars and Stripes’ employees for exercising their First Amendment
rights and informing members of our military about the truth their leaders hide
from them.
It is easy to understand why recruitments in several
branches of our military are in decline.
VAST MAJORITY OF ALL AMERICANS OPPOSE THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION’S UNAMERICAN POLICIES AND ESCALATING CORRUPTION
A recent poll, which included Democrats, Republicans, and
Independents, is the “tell all” which reveals how the voting public views Trump
and his fascist army.
[ A new poll from Gallup finds that “Americans’ perceptions
of government corruption in the U.S. are at their highest level in 20 years,
with 89% of U.S. adults saying it is widespread.” An estimated 91% of
Democrats, 90% of independents and even 83% of Republicans agreed with that
assessment.]
“IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID”
The details of Trump’s corruption and graft are far too
lengthy for me to list every one of them. However, let’s look at a few of the
facts, the truth about Trump’s unconstitutional and self-serving actions.
The Trump family has experienced additional profits of more
than four-and-one-half billion dollars over the last year and eight months.
Your illegitimate president has violated the Emoluments Clause with every
breath he takes.
His “redo” of the White House East Wing, the Reflecting
Pool, a planned arch outside of Arlington National Cemetery, and his renaming
of the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Ontario, and the Kennedy Center, are efforts to
keep his name in the history books, while wasting billions of taxpayer dollars.
For the vast majority of all Americans, the most important
issue is the economy.
Trump failed badly between 2017 and 2021, and the situation
is far more dire in 2026.
His failure to “end inflation on day one,” a unitary
decision to place tariffs of virtually every import from every nation, have
added enormous pain for any American considered a member of the working class
and even more so for seniors.
The media and all who call themselves “Republicans,” are
hiding the most frightening fact of all. When Trump was inaugurated on January
20, 2025. The national debt was $36.2 trillion. It is now more than $40
trillion. It required all four years of his first term to add four trillion
dollars to the deficit.
America has already lost its place as the world’s second-largest
economy, and today our nation is in great danger of falling into a second, and
even “Greater Depression.” Look at this outrageous number; it’s impossible for
the average American to understand how unrealistic this amount of money
is. $40,000,000,000,000.00.
Our great, great, great, grandchildren will be paying the
debt created by incompetent and corrupt politicians in the early 21st
century.
Let’s rid our nation of the word “incumbent,’ and elect
people who will force the super-rich to pay they fair share of taxes, and place
people before profits.
