What did Trump do after placing huge tariffs on 185 countries, with the exceptions of Russia and Saudi Arabia. He went golfing for the 21 st time out of 78 days in office. Each time he travels to one of his golf courses or to Mar-a-Lago, his personal pleasure costs taxpayers a minimum of $650,000. Therefore, although he is taking away your retirement funding, in less than three months he spent $13,650,000. Now to get down to reality: what is he allowed to do legally and illegally? Legally: ·        make treaties with the approval of the Senate. ·        veto bills and sign bills. ·        represent our nation in talks with foreign countries. ·        enforce the laws that Congress passes. ·        act as Commander-in-Chief during a war. ·        call out troops to protect our nation against an attack. · ...

  Yesterday President Musk held his first cabinet meeting. Donald Trump was also in attendance. Over the last 37 days a controversy existed in earnest. The concern was, “who is in charge in Washington?” Now we know. Co-presidents, Musk and Trump, were making the decisions. About that there was no doubt. However, it was clear that in every critical situation, Trump deferred to his brother from another mother. During yesterday’s meeting, Musk was in control, while Trump continued to mumble something on a few occasions. What makes this both interesting and disgusting is that every day Musk remains an active part of Trump’s administration is a violation of the Constitution. He is not an elected official, He has not been confirmed by the Senate. His “agency,” DOGE is non-existent. It is nothing but a fairy tale. Most importantly, Trump has given Musk access to classified information and Musk does not have a security clearance. None of this matters to Fuhrer Trump. By their words and act...

It’s “déjà vu all over again.” What Trump has done to our nation in just three days is far worse than his initial actions in 2017. He has undone many of the positive accomplishments of real presidents Obama and Biden. All of his actions support the current plutocracy and his 756 oligarchs. There is no doubt that his decision to pardon the traitors who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 is an act of pure fascism and revenge. Trump is not concerned about the brave capitol police who lost their lives or the more than 150 who were injured. These Neo-Nazis were tried for their crimes in a court of law and deserved to be punished more severely than they were. Treason is the most egregious crime possible in America. He is not interested in the fact that trying these men and women who hate my America cost taxpayers millions of dollars and law enforcement thousands of hours. More than 1500 anti-Americans who sought to overthrow our democratic government are back among those of us ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is the first man to “accomplish” several things in America’s nearly 248 years. Hopefully, no one will be the second person to constantly violate the Constitution and embarrass our nation. Trump was the first person in his party to seek the Republican Party’s presidential nomination without experience in any form of government and no verifiable proof that he ever worked in any profession for a single day in 77 years. He was also the first alleged draft dodger to believe he could gain the support of right-wing voters who generally favor war over peace. Trump was the first presidential candidate to win a major party’s nomination without taking a position on a single issue. Trump won by lying to voters, and hurling personal attacks against his rivals. He failed to receive the support of 90 percent of his party’s leaders. THE ILLEGITIMATE ELECTION OF 2016 Trump was losing in the polls prior to November 8, 2016. However, our government received verified informat...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Trump has grossly violated a judge’s “gag order” for the third time. To say he has no respect for any or our nation’s l aws is like saying he is “a little overweight.”   The judge presiding over Trump’s “hush money” criminal case, Juan Merchan, placed a gag order on anyone involved in the trial immediately . Trump has attacked not only the judge, but also the judge’s daughter at least three times, ignoring the authority of a judge to set standards for his court and p rotect the dignity of an upcoming trial.   Blame it All on Moscow Mitch McConnell   Moscow Mitch McConnell is one of the most corrupt professional politicians in American history. Th is trai tor to the Law of the Land told everyone that he would insure Trump’s acquittal after he was impeached twice for cause. Moscow Mitch did so with a very simple but   unconstitutional tactic: he refused to conduct a fair trial in the senate. This guaranteed Trump’s self-proclaimed ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If asked to describe Donald John Trump, the adjectives I would choose could not be flattering. He is not someone any normal person would like to know, or even be with in the same room. I am not qualified to psychoanalyze the orange buffoon, but it seems very clear that he is an unhappy old man without any self-respect. He knows that his life is a tale of failure and criminal activity. This is why his speeches are filled with attacks on other men and women who have achieved some success in their lives. He is jealous and aware that he will never have what they earned. Attempting to Discredit President Biden Proves that Trump Knows that he Could Never Accomplish What Mr. Biden Has Between 2017 and 2021, nothing positive was accomplished for the American people. The opposite is reality. Trump placed shame on our nation’s reputation around the world. He intentionally divided our nation’s people. For every day he pretended to be your president, he committed at least o...
