Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump owns a record which will never be broken: not a single attempt to accomplish something of value in 80 years has become a reality. His economic policy of placing tariffs on every nation is ludicrous and making the lives of about 320 million people miserable, unimagined in America’s 250-year history. In addition to his ill-advised and failed tariffs, he failed to keep another campaign promise and end greedflation, while he spends hundreds of millions of dollars on personal, unnecessary, and unwanted projects. He completely demolished the East Wing of the White House to build a ballroom, spent millions of dollars on unnecessary revisions to what is left of the People’s Home, golf excursions and trips to Mar-a-Lago, at the cost of more than 10 million dollars each month, a planned archway in his honor, and alterations to the reflecting pool on the National Mall, which destroyed what had been repaired by President Obama, and is now experiencing another rebuild,...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Three of the most useless men on the planet. Three “know nothings” who are completely unfit to hold their positions in Trump’s failed administration. Three men who have not surprised any real American, proving that they are using their jobs to enjoy luxury and privilege they do not deserve, at taxpayer expense. Never forget; excrement runs downhill. TO SAY THAT HEGSETH IS AN ABJECT FAILURE AS HE ATTEMPTS TO RUN TRUMP’S ILLEGAL WAR IS BEING KIND Pete Hegseth is the worst Secretary of Defense, (not “Secretary of War”), in history. He was somewhat good at a few things: getting drunk, embezzling money from charities, and sexually harassing women: but a complete failure as he attempts to lead our nation’s incompetent military. Hegseth is the only man I have ever heard say things which should cause him great embarrassment more than the orange buffoon. He is a joke who has aided in our Pentagon’s efforts to lose a fifth war, three in the Middle East. We could exp...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart A bribe from Qatar in the form of a new and more expensive to operate Air Force One. An unnecessary ballroom, no one wanted but Trump. A planned arch to honor the “greatest president of all time:” according to Dementia Donny. A costly and tacky birthday party pitting street fighters against each other. A huge failure labeled as the “Great American State Fair,” intended to celebrate our nation’s 250 th birthday. Now his latest vanity project, an unnecessary helipad on the White House grounds. SHITTING ON ANOTHER REVERED TRADITION The first presidential helicopter landed on the White House lawn on July 12, 1957. President Eisenhower, a real Republican President, used it to travel from Air Force One after landing at Joint Base Andrews in Camp Springs, Maryland. Using the helicopter saved two hours wasted in traffic. The aircraft was shared by the Army and the Marine Corp until 1976, when it officially became "Marine One." It has been the president’s pers...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This story sounds like a fairytale. However, there is no damsel awaiting her prince charming to take her away. Instead, there is an old, obese, schoolyard bully who is raping the treasury of the United States of America. Trump is living like a king while more than one-half of all Americans struggle to survive. Greedflation has resulted in a huge decline in the quality of life for most of our nation’s people, including yours truly. Three of the last four Republican presidents used their positions for personal pleasure, often watching television and taking long naps and longer vacations. None reached the level of waste comparable to Donald John Trump. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump averaged two trips to Mar-a-Lago each month, This continues today. When he’s not partying with his oligarchs in South Florida, he is golfing at one of his resorts, or opening a new golf course in Scotland. A few of the costs involved in a single trip to and from his billionaire’s playpen ...
