Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The not so well-kept secret that Trump is a fascist dictator is not a surprise. Trump hates America and what most of our nation’s people support: celebrating our diversity, inclusion for all, and complete equality regardless of your ethnic origin, color of your skin, religious affiliation, sex or sexual orientation. He is the leader of the Nazi movement in America. [Fascism: a far-right, authoritarian political ideology and system of government characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized autocratic government, and the forcible suppression of opposition. It is marked by extreme nationalism, a belief in the supremacy of the nation over the individual, and often a cult of personality around the leader. Other common features include militarism, suppression of dissent, and a rejection of democratic liberalism.] Convince me that the above is not an accurate definition of Trump and his party. Senator Bernie Sanders is the champion of the majority: the working ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Exit polls taken in swing states on November 5, 2024, revealed how uninformed the average American voter truly is. When asked why they voted for Trump, the reply was always similar to, “I think he’ll be better for the economy.” They were obviously unaware that Trump’s failure to lead our nation in the fight against a deadly coronavirus, combined with his failed fiscal policy, nearly created a second Great Depression in 2020, and added eight trillion dollars to the national debt. “What their responses said to me was, “how bad can he be?” Those same voters are suffering from how bad the orange buffoon has become. All politicians make promises. During the 2016 campaign, Trump made promises about a wall, which would have failed, and how great the economy would be if he was elected: and many, many more. He kept none of these promises. During the 2024 campaign, his biggest promises were to end the war in Ukraine on day one, as well as the current “Greedflation.” As of...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In every administration in my lifetime, the position of Secretary of Defense, now labeled the “Secretary of War,” by your illegitimate president, was critical to our nation’s future and to our relationship with our allies from nearly every other country in the world. As a pollical reporter, I remember the worst. Robert McNamara was hated by nearly every young man in my age group. Those of us who never served on the ground in South Vietnam constantly questioned the justification for a war halfway around the world and felt great anger as we watched our family, friends, and acquaintances arrive home in body bags. Even more evil was George W. Bush’s Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. It is an undeniable fact that he was incompetent, but the fact that he displayed a total lack of concern for the lives of our military in Afghanistan and Iraq earned him the title of worst of all time. This and other actions, approved by Bush, confirmed their attacks by the World Co...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s no secret: Trump is not the sharpest tool in the shed. His economic policies have proven disastrous. On his report card, Foreign Relations receives an F-. Trump is not a leader, as we learned during Covid-19. More than one million American lives were lost, while he told us, “it will just go away.” What is most obvious, but goes unreported by the mainstream media, is that Trump is a dictator. However, the New York Times recently talked to younger voters who voted for Trump in 2024. Asked to describe Trump’s actions over the last eight months, they called him “aggressive,” “overpowering,” and “reckless.” Mustafa, a 28-year-old Republican from Georgia, didn’t hold back. “The way that he’s been handling things recently, dictatorship,” he said. There is little remaining in the base for right-wing politicians. The group Trump and I belong to, septuagenarians, is dying off. Educated Americans reject Trump and his party. Trump is losing the support of rural voters....

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On Wednesday, Trump stood before the world and proved that he is a blithering idiot. He bragged about things he has failed to accomplish, called the leaders of the European Union morons, and claimed that only he could solve all of the world’s problems. It took him nearly an hour to embarrass our nation, and prove that our voters are uninformed and ignorant. I’m shocked that no one walked out on his moronic tirade after the first 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Standing in front of the entire world was a malignant narcissist suffering from dementia, who is the greatest failure in our nation’s history and offering proof with his own ludicrous and ridiculous speech. For your incompetent president, his greatest and most revealing statement was calling climate change caused by man, a “hoax.” This proved to the world that he and his American Nazi Party were born with only half a brain. They are the only people in all of developed nations who refuse ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last couple of weeks, Trump has ordered his oligarchs to fire two men who have been constant critics of his failure to lead our nation. Paramount, the parent company of CBS, fired Stephen Colbert. Disney Corp, the parent company of ABC, attempted to hide their ownership of several companies, including Nexstar, fired Jimmy Kimmel. The only crime committed by either late night host was speaking truth to power about your corrupt and incompetent president. They were exercising their First Amendment rights without malice, or slander. Their weapon was humor, and Trump is incapable of self-deprecation, or any other form of laughing at his expense. Let’s go back to January 20, 2025. [Partway through his second presidential inaugural address, Donald Trump boasted, “After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I also will sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, one more time. I condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk. However, he was a fascist, and I despise his politics, his hatred for everyone who is not pure white and wealthy, and most of all his desire to overturn our government and in its place install a fascist regime with Trump as his Fuhrer, was unacceptable and was, in fact, the actions of Neo-Nazi. I also condemn anyone who supported Kirk. They could not admire his position on everything without becoming members of the American Nazi Party themselves. If the men and women who fought in WWII, the war to halt the advance of fascism, were alive today, they would be grabbing their weapons and prepare to fight another revolutionary war. Kirk had a right to his opinions, and to voice those opinions. However, he had no right to encourage his ignorant followers to overthrow our government. Sedition remains a federal crime, and so does treason. His treasonous followers are calling him an “American hero.” In truth, he ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am a fortunate American. Born in 1946, I experienced post-war America. Only a very small number of my readers share what I felt, saw, and heard as I was growing up in the 1950s. I remember first grade. When all of the students had taken their seats, Sister Mary told us to stand, face the American flag in the corner of the room, place our right hands over our hearts, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. This may be a bit “trite,” but it was not uncommon to feel a few tears in my eyes. I believed in the words. However, our current federal government does not. oweHH “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” The truth is, our current, illegitimate president continues to intentionally divide the people of our nation. America is no longer a Democratic Republic, it is a fascist regime. Your “president” is attempting to end “liberty a...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am compelled to write about “the man who would be king” every day, but I take no joy in informing the American people about the most evil and destructive man in world history. I often fear that my readers “can’t handle the truth.” Between 2017 and 2021, Trump caused enormous and irreparable harm to my country. Trump 2.0 has been an effort to add every nation in the world to his plans for devastation. The people of the world are threatened by his foolhardy tariffs, and every resident of every nation is concerned about the end of world peace, fearing a third World War. The United States has not enjoyed a great leader since 1963. Without a great man or woman living in the White House who possesses great love for all the people of his or her nation, America cannot move forward. Being President of the United States demands patriotism, concern for the future of all Americans, a high level of intelligence, and sometimes good, old common sense. Trump fails to possess ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In October of 2024, Trump knew he would be given a victory on November 5 th . In 2016 he was honestly surprised that he had become our nation’s 45 th and first illegitimate president. He knew that Putin was behind the scenes, doing everything possible to guarantee a win for fascism, however, he did not know what Putin knew: he couldn’t lose. In 2024, he was aware of the truth: the fix was in. He would win all seven swing states and the popular vote. This all seemed impossible. His hate rallies were sparsely attended, and the results of the 2020 election revealed the fact that most Americans despised the worst illegitimate president in history. The second time around, Trump was prepared: not to lead our country, but to accomplish Putin’s goals for America’s future. He possesses a 922-page guide, which listed plans to destroy our democratic nation. It is called “Project 2025.” The following presents a small section of his agenda, written weeks before the election...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our Founding Fathers left the country of their origin for numerous reasons. However, the primary reason was far simpler than what is contained in the volumes written by historians. It comes down to one issue: human rights. Everything they accomplished at the Constitutional Convention between 1787 and 1789 was focused on the individual. The country belongs to the people. They choose their leaders who are nothing more than public servants. Their creation of a ‘check and balance system,’ three branches with equal but separate powers, would prevent what is happening today. There was never going to be king of the United States of America, or any other form of autocrat. However, one unconstitutional and immoral action by six corrupt members of the Supreme Court voided their intent. Our government is in chaos, totally out of control. Sadly, the men and women we elected to serve and protect us have become our enemies. If they are not working for us, they are worki...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2025, your illegitimate president took an oath. Every word he uttered on those two dark days was just another Trump specialty: a lie. "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States". It is clear to me that Trump has never read the Constitution. It is also abundantly clear that every day he claimed to be your president, he violated the First, Fourth, or 14 th Amendments, and on some days all three at once. It makes me ill to hear the word “Constitution” come out of his mouth, and sickens me to see him hug the flag. America and the American people mean nothing to Donald John Trump. From the day of my birth until January 19, 2027 BT, (Before Trump), I knew my beloved country was not perfect, but overall, our people believed in compassion, understanding, to...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One thing all real Americans can agree on: Trump 2.0 is 100 times worse than he was between 2017 and 2021. Hopefully, two of the greatest disasters in our nation, Covid-19, and the attempted coup on January 6, will not be repeated. However, what he is doing every day, violating the First, Fourth, and 14 th Amendments, removing healthcare from tens of millions of Americans, and destroying the world’s free market economy, will have long-lasting effects. At the center of every crime he commits is vengeance. This childish effort by the schoolyard bully is proof that what was once a very low level of intelligence is now virtually defunct. His dementia is growing day by day. Some uninformed voters are disappointed that he failed to keep promises, promises which were at the forefront of encouraging “television voters” to surrender to the orange buffoon their precious votes. Trump promised to end inflation, which is actually “Greedflation,” intentionally caused by his ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart For years, red states, dominated by Republican legislators, have attempted to erase facts for which they do not approve from our history books and other publications containing the truth. They want no discussion about the fact that slavery remains our nation’s greatest crime, and pretend that racism is no longer a problem in America. They reject any reference to the LGBTQ community and its struggle to receive the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution. Blatant lies or attempting to hide the facts cannot prevent the truth from rising into the light of day, hopefully sooner than later. The American Fascist Party’s latest effort was revealed by the Nazi in the White House yesterday. The Trump administration will make decisions about items in the Smithsonian museums which are not “patriotic.” Like his hilarious red hats, what this really means is, “anything which reveals the crimes and sins of white Americans. Let’s get to the truth. Old, white men are the re...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Our Founding Fathers considered the First Amendment perfect and the most important paragraph written by man in history. It was the only amendment in the Bill of Rights which was not contested by a single member of the Constitutional Congress. It guarantees every person in the United States certain human rights which cannot be violated by the government or any other group or organization. However, it no longer exists. Trump continues to violate every sentence, every word written by the men who created our nation in 1789. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Every man and woman calling themselves a “Republican” makes no decision, votes for or against any law, without the approval of the Christian Religious Right. Trump is owned by...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is always fair to ask any professional politician one question: “what have you done for me lately?” They make promises during their campaigns they never intend to keep, and must suffer the consequences of those lies. No one has accomplished less than Donald John Trump, and no one has made more promises he never intended to keep. In 2020, Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell broke rules they made in opposition to the intent of the Constitution, and completed stacking the Supreme Court with a  ‘super majority,’ six supporting the right-wing’s extremist policies and three performing their jobs as required by the Constitution; all women from ethnic backgrounds not considered “pure white,” in other words, “real Americans.” Trump sought reelection for two reasons, neither of which involves caring for 340 million people. First, he was desperate to remain a free, old man. His many crimes, including treason and violating the Espionage Act, were under scrutiny and faci...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After four years and six months of Trump as your illegitimate president, I thought it was time to evaluate Trump’s performance. I will list some of the duties, responsibilities, accomplishments, and failures between 2017 and 2021, and his first six months of 2025, and honestly and accurately rate them as “true,” or “false.” Trump kept his campaign promises. False. His most important promises were to end “Greedflation,” and negotiate peace between Putin and Ukraine. The price of necessities continues to grow, and Trump’s ill-advised tariffs will soon force them to rise even higher. The invasion of Ukraine continues. There is no reasonable end expected in the near future. Trump claimed that the Biden economy was a failure, and he would ‘turn it around’ immediately. False. His failed fiscal policy of trickle-down economics has already increased unemployment, and his “big, beautiful bill,” will remove healthcare from millions or our nation’s most vulnerable citizens...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over four years, Trump appointed several federal judges loyal to him and his fascist party. Most importantly, he stacked the Supreme Court with three politically biased justices who obviously pledged their loyalty to the ‘greatest American traitor,’ Lady Justice is not blind and most certainly dead and buried somewhere on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago. Beginning on January 20, 2025, Trump began violating his oath of office and pissing on the Constitution. He replaced honest and patriotic federal employees with members of his Neo-Nazi army who are shredding the Law of the Land every day in increasingly vile and destructive ways. Your illegitimate president has become the nightmare America feared between 1941 and 1945. Now for the latest crime against justice for all in America. Trump nominated Emil Bove for a federal judgeship to the third Circuit Court of Appeals: a lifetime appointment. He is 44 years of age. Bove is Trump’s personal attorney. He is disrespected by...
