Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s entire life has depended on making complete fools of others. Not once in his life has he found it necessary or convenient to tell the truth. The orange buffoon is the ultimate con man. Those of you who continue to support him, those he refers to as “basement dwellers,” are the biggest fools of all. If you believe he will do anything he says if elected, there is something seriously wrong with your thought process. The evidence is undeniable, and to choose ignorance is purely moronic. Without his “basement dwellers,” Trump would be nothing but a cartoon, a caricature in the New Yorker Magazine. However, Trump would never see it: he is not intelligent enough to read the magazine, if he can read at all. BE HONEST: NOT A SINGLE PROMISE TRUMP MADE IN 2016 WAS REALIZED Trump does nothing because he knows nothing. Not a single accomplishment was recorded between 2017 and 2021 with the exception of tax cuts for the super-rich and huge corporations. In his campaig

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s former White House Press Secretary, Stephanie Grisham, told participants at the Democratic National Convention that in private Trump refers to his own supporters as “basement dwellers.” This fact should surprise no one. Trump has no interest in anyone other than himself. I feel a little sadness for the men and women who continue to support the orange buffoon. They obviously choose to ignore the real Donald Trump who has been totally exposed since his huge loss in the 2020 election. Listening to comments from some of those attending his hate rallies, they share one belief with the old, obese man who leads their cult: they are all racists and bigots, and now that Kamala Harris is the Democratic candidate, misogynists.. Like Trump, who is the leader of the white supremacist movement in America, they firmly believe that pure whites should rule our country. They are adamant that whites are superior to all other races and ethnicities. TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS SHOULD

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Sounds like it could be the name of a 1960’s band, but it’s not. “Basement Dwellers” is what Trump actually thinks about his most avid supporters when he’s not on stage telling them to hate everyone who disagrees with him. On Tuesday evening, Trump’s former press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, revealed his true feelings during a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. She resigned her post on January 6, 2021 after watching Trump’s failed coup attempt. Her speech was not vengeful, but a warning for anyone who refuses to see the real Donald Trump. The message was clear and 100 percent accurate: Trump is not interested in anyone but himself. TRUMP’S REASONS FOR SEEKING THE PRESIDENCY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PATRIOTISM Trump has his own reasons for seeking a second term in Washington. However, none of them involve moving our nation forward, or enhancing the quality of life for all of our nation’s people. First, he needs praise from his handler, Vladi

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You might remember the heavy criticism Hillary Clinton received from the right when she called Trump’s cult “a basket of deplorables” during the 2016 campaign. Although it has become clear that she was not wrong, her opinion is of little importance. What is of interest is what Trump thinks about his most avid supporters. Stephanie Grisham is a former Press Secretary for Donald Trump. However, like many mainstream Republicans, she has endorsed Kamala Harris in 2024 and appeared at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday evening. She resigned on January 6, 2021, immediately following the violent insurrection. [Grisham’s admission that Trump referred to his supporters as “basement dwellers” when the cameras were off is a shocking but not entirely surprising revelation. This term, dripping with disdain, reveals the deep-seated contempt Trump holds for the very base that has idolized him. This base, largely composed of working-class Americans, has been manipula
