Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump promised to end the “war” in Ukraine on “Day One.” Six months and nine days later the invasion continues. During his golf excursion to Scotland a reporter asked him about his frequent trips to golf courses in America. His response was such a big lie, it made me laugh out loud. "We put out fires all over the world. We did one yesterday, as you know, we stopped a war, but we stopped about five wars,” Trump said, while standing on a golf green, Tuesday. “So that's ah, much more important than playing golf. As much as I like it, it's much more important." Although his official schedule has not been posted, on the rare occasion Trump was in the White House between 2017 and 2021 his “office hours” were between 11 in the morning and two or three in the afternoon. When he was in the Oval Office, he wasn’t. He was in an adjoining room watching television. The undeniable truth is Donald Trump has never worked a full day in his pitiful 79 years on t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Using an old term, few of you likely remember, Trump is a “cheapskate.” According to those around him, he has never left a tip for any service he received. We know he stole money from his own charity. The truth is, he has never done anything for another person unless it was mostly for his own benefit. The title of this article comes directly from the orange buffoon/con man. He told his supporters during the 2016 campaign that he is a user, an abuser, and a thief. Trump’s biggest thefts came while he was pretending to by your president between 2017 and 2021 and from January 20, 2025 until today. For four years Trump’s use of taxpayer funds for his personal pleasure averaged more than six million dollars each month. He made trips to his own golf courses at least 285 times. Nearly every weekend he was partying at Mar-a-Lago. He held his infamous hate rallies throughout his illegitimate presidency, averaging about two each month. For each of these excursions, the co...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Between 2017 and 2021, Congress, the DOJ, and a corrupted Supreme Court allowed Trump to violate the Emoluments Clause for 1,460 days. That’s every day he was your illegitimate president. Trump continued to maintain control of his personal business interests, both foreign and domestic. After four years, Trump’s business interests reported a 2.4 billion dollar profit. The problem is that no one cared that he was violating one of the oldest entries in the Constitution. The frame workers of the Constitution included the Emoluments Clause to prevent undo influence from businesses both foreign and domestic. No one, Democrats, or Republicans is concerned that Trump violates the Constitution every day he pretends to be your illegitimate president. “As the US president fires thousands in the name of preventing alleged fraud, he continues to spend taxpayer funds on his outings.” This is from the Guardian. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump used taxpayer money for his personal ...

When I was much younger and Catholic, Easter Sunday was a day for church and family. I will not lie; I did not enjoy all of my family, but no one does. However, we loved each other and those were special times, especially while my grandparents were alive. My maternal grandfather was the greatest role model a young man could have. This was normal in the mid-twentieth century all across America, and continues to be popular today with millions of Americans. But not for the Trump family. During the 2016 campaign, the pastor of the Christian church Trump claimed to be his own claimed that he had never seen him cross the threshold of his place of worship. No surprise there: the Antichrist is not welcome in a place of worship designated to honor the life of Jesus Christ. Trump owns the leaders of the Evangelical branch of the Christian religion. They continue to support him although he is a traitor to his country, a convicted felon, a confirmed sexual predator, a serial philanderer, and oppos...

If Musk wants to end government waste and remove government employees who fail to perform their jobs, he is looking in the wrong direction. In a building known as the “Capitol,” there are 535 men and women who do nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing for our nation’s people. Their base salaries cost taxpayers $90,090,000 each year. We don’t need any of them. Add Trump to this reality and another $400,000 could be saved each year, not counting the more than six million dollars he wastes each month golfing and partying at Mar-a-Lago. That would save our nation at least $162,490,000 every single year. Let’s stop the hypocrisy, Musk. You don’t give a fuck about our nation or our people.

Your obese old pretend president is working as hard as he did in his first term. He is spending taxpayer money to chase a little, round ball through the grass. He’s not keeping his biggest promise, to end inflation, he is living the life of a billionaire using your money. Although Musk and his fake agency, DOGE, are ignoring the truth, Trump has already wasted 10.7 million dollars golfing in 2025. Nine out of 30 days have been spent wasting time like most very old, fat, white men who are or should be retired. More hypocrisy about claims to reduce government spending can be found in the expense of traveling to and from Mar-a-Lago. Trump only lives part-time in the White House. Adding up all expenses beginning with Air Force One at $200,000 per hour, the cost of each trip to his millionaire’s playpen is $3,383,250. Your Nazi president is the most expensive in history. What did you expect. Wealth and white privilege allowed him to avoid working one full day in his pitiful 78 years on this...
