Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump made another rambling,  boring speech yesterday at the United Nations. As expected, it was mostly about him. What he apparently did not understand is that the leaders of every other nation were laughing at him, not with him. When the men and women who lead other nations receive criticism from their citizens, they will likely respond with six words: “at least I’m not Donald Trump.” I am aware that Trump’s lifelong mental disease, known as malignant narcissism, prevents him from accepting reality, but with 71 percent of all Americans registering their displeasure with the orange buffoon, how can he possibly believe that his actions are acceptable? Most of those expressing their disapproval of Trump’s failed policies admit that they hate the worst man in the world.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In our nation’s 250-year history, only one man will be known as the worst in our nation’s history. The damage he intentionally caused to our country’s future is irreparable and unforgivable. Trump began his endless lies with a baseless claim in 2011 that President Obama was not a natural born citizen, and was an illegitimate president. Although members of his staff claimed that he had no interest in becoming our nation’s president, after a documented meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, during the Miss Universe Pageant in 2013, Trump was ordered to seek the 2016 presidency by his handler. After he was declared the victor in a rigged election, this is what Trump has done to our nation in five years and nine months. The orange buffoon committed too many Constitutional violations to count. However, the two most egregious, both punishable by death, are treason and violating the Espionage Act. JANUARY  6, 2021 After Trump’s stacked Supreme Court gave him uncond...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Midterm elections are less glamorous, less exciting, than general elections. However, they have an even greater importance than ever in 2026. On November 3 rd , the American people will vote for all 435 members of the House and one-third of the Senate. Pay great attention to this singular fact. In 2020’s historical election, a vote for Joe Biden was a vote against the worst president in history, Donald John Trump. Although President Biden became a very good, very effective president, most Americans simply wanted to evict our nation’s biggest mistake. A VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICAN IS A VOTE FOR TRUMP The Republican Party began its demise in 1981, and completely disappeared on January 20, 2017. Every man and woman running for office under the banner of the former Grand Old Party exists for one reason, to serve their king, their Fuhrer. Free thought and any form of opposition to Trump’s evil agenda is forbidden. Today, both houses of Congress are controlled by Trump’s ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump wants to have his name, the most hated name in the world, on everything. I share the feelings of millions of other Americans who cherish the Constitution, and want to see Trump’s name on a single place:  a tombstone. Fred Trump should have pulled out in 1946. Trump is the most destructive American in history. He has intentionally divided our nation’s people, destroyed America’s economy,, and the White House, and is makiing the world a more dangerous for more than four billion people. AN OCTOGENARIAN SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS AND PHYSICAL DECLINE Trump’s mental acuity is in steep decline. Malignant Narcissism, combined with dementia, prevents him from performing his duties. Falling asleep during important meetings in the White House, and swelling and discoloration in his extremities offer undeniable proof that his physical status is tenuous at best. This mentally deficient old man actually believed that he could change the names of the Gulf of Mexic...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Man cannot exist without humor: life is too difficult to survive without it. Regardless of your race, sex, religious affiliation or none at all, or your economic status, it is a fact that we all face more difficulties than pleasure in a lifetime. Humor in its many forms provides an escape from the harshness of our very existence. Movies, television, books, and stand-up comics provide a little respite from the challenges we face every day. In my 80 years there has been one person above all others who provided a source for comics, writers, and water-cooler chuckles: the President of the United States. THE MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE I ENCOUNTERED IN MY LIFE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR I liked “Ike,” but the first American President I remember well was John F. Kennedy. His speeches inspired young Americans to become involved in their nation’s governance, and instilled a feeling of patriotism none of our nation’s leaders accomplished since. JFK used humor to hold the att...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over an 80-year span, I have heard many speeches. Most are boring and without substance. Only a few of our presidents had the ability to inspire emotions of hope and feelings of trust from their audience. Most were in the same category of what I call “politispeak.” None of them resorted to name calling or complained about “how badly they were treated by the press.” None of them preached and incited anger, hatred, and the commission of violence until Donald John Trump. He is not “different,” he is disgusting and an embarrassment to every true American. WHAT THE HELL DID HE EXPECT? Trump chose himself to be the “key speaker” at last Friday’s Correspondents' Dinner (2). Big mistake. Trump has no sense of humor, but he tried to be funny. He was attempting to be funny in front of people he chose to constantly berate and insuledt. What did he expect? I admit that I have called “Dementia Donny” names for 11 years. He earned every one of them. During the 2016 campai...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart  After 5 years and 7 months of Trump’s destructive and illegitimate presidency, I have experienced many emotions, including anger, disgust, shame, fear, sorrow, shock, and I am ashamed to admit it, but I have learned to hate. It is unnecessary and redundant to state the fact that Trump will forever be remembered by historians as the worst president in America’s 250-year history. Not once during his time defiling our White Huse has he accomplished something positive for the people he is required to serve. His every attempt is focused on satisfying his own base desires as he violates the Constitution and attempts to destroy the core of why our Founding Fathers created the United States of America in 1789. THIS WEEK I ACCEPTED THE TRUTH Trump is the stupidest man to ever hold public office. The reason I finally accepted this fact was the realization that the orange buffoon is too ignorant to realize that many of the battles he is fighting are unwinnable. Wise m...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our country has survived 66 months of Trump’s illegitimate rule over 340 million people. It hasn’t been easy. His regressive and destructive policies and words challenge even the most patriotic men and women in America. Truth be told, his old age, combined with an historical level of incompetence, allowed our nation to celebrate 250 years of existence today. PROMISES UNKEPT, FAILURES ABOUND, THE RESULT OF OLD AGE AND DEMENTIA? All politicians are liars. Trump is not only the worst president in history by far, he holds the record for telling the most outrageous lies imaginable. During the 2024 campaign, Trump made multiple promises, as do all professional politicians. However, three of his guarantees to the voting public contributed to his controversial victory. Trump stood before his cult and millions of uninformed Americans promising that he would end Greedflation and the invasion of Ukraine on day one. He also promised that with him in the White House, there w...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump can never be called “Mr. President.” He never has performed the duties required of our nation’s leader, and he never wanted to be a president in 2016. In 2024, things had changed. Trump was facing charges for treason, January 6, and violating the Espionage Act, January 20, 2021. He was also broke, having lost the money he profited illegally as your illegitimate president between 2017 and 2021. The irrefutable truth is that he did not become your president. Nothing he has done in 17 months can be called “presidential.” TRUMP WAS DESPERATE TO WIN IN 2024, BUT ONLY FOR REASONS IMPORTANT TO HIM Those of us who watched the darkest day in American history, January 6, 2021, know the truth, and it is undeniable. Trump organized, planned, and executed an attempted, violent coup just two weeks before he was evicted from the White House. Like everything else in his life, the event was another failure. He and his Nazi army should be in various federal prisons today. I...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Do you remember “Bushisms?” There were many and they were never-ending in the early 21 st century. Our nation’s 43 rd president either failed or refused to attend English classes in high school or college. It was common for the late-night talk shows to poke fun at George W. Bush’s ability to mispronounce or misuse words when he addressed the American people. His most frequent and most remembered was “nucular” instead of “nuclear.” He never learned to pronounce the word correctly. NO COMPARISON Trump is an absolute embarrassment for any man or woman who has English as their primary language. It is this fact alone which convinced me that there is no way Trump earned his diploma from an Ivy League College. He was very likely the focus of many jokes at Wharton. I admit that much of his inability to speak in clear, coherent, and meaningful sentences is related to dementia and the fact that he will be an octogenarian in one week. However, his thousan...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On Thursday, Trump was examined by doctors at Walter Reed for the third time in just over one year. Today, Saturday, his personal doctor claimed that Donny Dementia is “in perfect health.” Really? Let’s see an unredacted medical report. Just looking at the old man, watching him fall asleep during meetings, his face, which has turned into a map of mountains and valleys, his purple hands, and his swollen ankles, it is clear that “perfect health” is a huge exaggeration. That word applies to Trump in many, many ways. A more accurate assessment would be “pretty good for an octogenarian.” WHO SHOULD WE BELIEVE? In the past, Trump’s personal physicians lied about the old, obese, orange man shamelessly. On one occasion his doctor claimed that he was six-foot, three-inches tall, and weighed 175 pounds. Just by looking at him, it was clear that he was well over 225 and maybe 240 pounds. Trump will be 80 on June 14. I will become an octogenarian on July 7. We are both too ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today, May 26, 2026, your illegitimate president is going to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for the third time in the past 13 months. Listening to his incoherent speech, it is clear that Trump’s mental abilities are in steep decline. I assume that he will receive another cognitive test, and he will claim that “I aced it,” once again. I say, “so what?” However, Trump is suffering from something physical as well. His hands and ankles continue to show discoloration and swelling. THE OLDEST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY In just two weeks and five days, Trump will become an octogenarian. If he survives his full term, he will become the oldest president in American history. Just three weeks later, I will join Trump as an 80-year-old man. On July 6, George W. Bush will complete eight decades on this planet and on August 19 th , Bill Clinton will join us. The truth is simple: all four of us are too old to be the President of the United States. Times have changed, a...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is it just me, or did Trump actually say, time and time again, “Iran cannot have nuclear weapons?” I don’t watch television “news” broadcasts. I refuse to be lied to. However, I do read. Trump appeared on Sean Hannity’s right-wing propaganda broadcast Thursday, and once again proved that the term “TACO” definitely applies to the orange buffoon. Trump talks all the time, but his words are always filled with lies and baseless allegations. Read the exchange between Trump and one of Fox’ paid liars. Hannity asked Trump about the 970 pounds of enriched uranium possessed by Iran, which is necessary to make nuclear weapons. [Trump first said that if the U.S. tried to seize the stockpile, it would take “a week and a half” to extract using a ground operation. That is likely an underestimate; nuclear experts say such an operation would take weeks, and that’s assuming it goes smoothly.] But what Trump said next was a surprise. “I don’t think it’s necessary [to get the uran...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As a political writer, I have covered Trump since 2015. For more than ten years, I have informed my readers about the “real Donald Trump.” I have found nothing which might offer a positive or even patriotic side of the old, obese, ignorant man defiling our White House today. As disappointing as this is, it is the truth, and I kept one promise for more than ten years: the truth lives here. WHEN THE PRESIDENCY IS INVOLVED, AGE IS A FACTOR Trump, his party, and the late-night television shows discussed President Biden’s age ad nauseum. However, these same or similar comments have not been directed towards the orange buffoon pretending to be your president today. On June 14, Trump will become an octogenarian. He is far too old to lead a country or even a Boy Scout Troop. Three weeks after we mourn his birthday, I will have completed 80 years on the planet. I guarantee you that my mental acuity far surpasses that of your illegitimate president. MEMORY AND THE ABILITY...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am definitely not a psychiatrist. However, I read a lot about the failure of our nation to address the many mental health issues affecting hundreds of thousands of Americans, if not millions. Most insurance companies refuse to cover the cost of long-term care. One stands out above the rest: your illegitimate, mentally ill, and self-absorbed fake president. Let’s take another look at his lifelong ailment. Malignant Narcissism: [In the popular conception, malignant narcissism is a form of narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire. [Campbell’s Psychiatric Dictionary suggests that malignant narcissism includes traits of narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorderTrusted Source causes a person to seek constant acclaim ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is an irrefutable fact that Trump is the Definition of the mental disease, malignant narcissism. When he receives undeserved praise and worship from his cult, and his ego is satisfied, the old man is less likely to slip into one of his infamous fits filled with rage and violence. Ten years of studying the worst man in the world has convinced me that with his position as your illegitimate president, one man’s huge ego is in complete control of our planet’s future. 10 months into his second controversial presidency, he has once again accomplished nothing of value. He gave additional tax cuts to his 902 oligarchs, continues to take revenge on his enemies, and is currently destroying our nation’s most sacred building, the people’s White House. Trump’s little brain is fragile. It is very apparent that he not only suffers from malignant narcissism, he is in the middle stages of dementia. This makes him an even greater danger to the safety of the world. My question ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s easier to list the traits which do not apply to your illegitimate president based on a life filled with failures than positive qualities. However, I can find adjectives and nouns which expose the real con man who has fully revealed himself over the last 10 years. He was born into a very wealthy family deeply embedded in white privilege. He was never required to perform anything which might be defined as “work” throughout his pitiful and useless life. Listening to and reading his rambling, incoherent, and often illiterate speeches offer irrefutable proof that although he has a diploma from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business College, he attended very few classes, if any. Because of his mental diseases, malignant narcissism, and escalating dementia, his mind is a virtual “wet rag.” His thought process is uncertain, ranging from rage and a desire for revenge against anyone he perceives to be an enemy, and his need for adulation and relevance. At ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On Wednesday, a 79-year-old man walked up a broken escalator, made his way to the main floor of the United Nations building, and proceeded to filibuster the leaders of 189 nations for almost one hour. It was a very sad experience for the delegates. They were very respectful as an obese old man with a cheap toupee rambled on about nothing and bragged about things which never happened. See if you can make sense of some of his illiterate rants. “I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell.” “They were going all green. All green is all bankrupt. That’s what it represents, And it’s not politically correct, I’ll be very badly criticized for saying it, but I’m here to tell the truth. I don’t care, it doesn’t matter to me.” “If you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail. And I’m really good at predicting things, you know?” he said. “They actually said during the campaign, they had a hat: the best-selling hat, I was right a...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It has always been a term in flux. It changed with generations. However, there are some qualities consistent with “being a man.” Real men are capable of a wide range of emotions. They have complete control over those emotions, and refuse to be affected by the opinions of others. They know themselves and are always trying to be better. Your illegitimate president is not a ‘man.’ He is afflicted with a disease. Malignant narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a psychological disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-worth, a need for admiration, and a disregard for others. Key characteristics of malignant narcissism include paranoia, feeling threatened or persecuted without proof, aggression, manipulation, and lack of remorse.” One more: “Malignant narcissism is a personality type that causes extreme narcissism, aggression, and, sometimes, abuse of others. A person may use manipulative means or violence to enhance their own sense of wellbeing.” Every ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you read me regularly, I frequently offer my opinion that Trump would not complete his second term as your illegitimate president just weeks after the inauguration. I am no longer alone. Other political writers are noticing a steep decline in his physical and mental abilities. What did you expect? Although I expected the truth to come into the light of day, confirming that the 2016 and 2024 elections were “rigged by Putin,” Trump is the oldest man ever elected, legally or illegally, to the presidency. If we look at Trump’s “second coming” on January 20, 2025, it was immediately clear that Trump lacks any ability to think clearly. Bringing Elon Musk into his administration was ignorant and irresponsible. Musk, like Trump, had no experience at any level in government. Trump claimed that he would reduce the national debt by at least two trillion dollars. He did not At the same time, Trump was planning to place tariffs on everyone, including our closest allies, d...
