  What is the role of a U.S. President? Until 2017, this was what was expected from our nation’s leader. [The authors of the U.S. Constitution only sketched a loose outline of the presidency when they defined the federal government in 1787. They expected the first presidents to work out the details of the job with Congress and the Supreme Court. As a result, the first officeholders helped shape the way presidents make decisions, fight wars, work with Congress, add territory to the country, and even entertain.] Let’s begin with his personal life. Trump is a man without morals or principles. He is a registered serial philanderer, having cheated on all three of his trophy wives. It was recently revealed and confirmed that he attended parties with his “best friend,” Jeffrey Epstein, for 10 years. This proves that Trump is one of the most disgusting sexual predators of all time. Trump operated his businesses in the same manner as his marriages. He lied, cheated, and stole among other

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Truth Lives Here If Trump and Putin rig another election, America will lose and our nation’s future is in serious jeopardy. However, if the election is just and fair, and most voters realize that Trump’s tactics filled with lies, his horrific record between 2017 and 2021, and his billionaire supporter loses his bid to buy votes, our country will have its first woman president, and America will move proudly forward into the 21 st century.

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Truth Lives Here Trump has many deserved nicknames. Old ones include the “orange buffoon.” “Trumpenstein,” and “Putin’s Puppet.” However, he has earned more over the last four years, including “world’s biggest whiner,” the “Coronavirus Killer,” “world’s biggest liar,” “leader of America’s white supremacist movement,” “traitor,” “fascist,” “convicted criminal,” and “sexual predator.” Guess what, and you won’t believe it: this obese old man is running for president on Tuesday.

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We all know that Trump is Putin’s puppet, although some deny the truth in public. However, I read a story a few months ago that you will never see or hear from the mainstream media. Trump’s first wife, Ivana, told several of her friends that her husband read Adolf Hitler’s speeches every night before going to sleep. From my research, the orange buffoon adopted a number of Hitler’s tactics during his speeches attended by men and women who share his anger and hatred for anyone who refuses to agree with their dark views of our nation’s future. Trump’s endless rants about the “fake news” was a thinly guarded effort to ensure that the right wing propaganda machine, Fox News, was the only fake news network they would listen to. Fox constantly hides the real Donald Trump from the public. Another of Trump’s tactics comes directly from Hitler’s manifesto. “If you tell weak-minded and uninformed men and women a lie often enough, they will eventually accept it as the truth

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   I can’t help but think, “what would Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and John Kennedy be thinking today about the worst government in the world?”   For the first time in my life, I know that all three branches of our government are corrupt, and nothing will change without courage and determination by our nation’s people. However, If I can j udge today’s America by the polls, the dream of our Founding Fathers is about to take its last breaths.   All of our nation’s great leaders would be shocked to know that a man who attempted to overthrow our government was allowed to run for office, and even more so that he had millions of supporters.   WORSE THAN ANY THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY   Let’s look at this year’s election honestly, not politically.   I remember my first presidential election. I turned 21 in 1967, and in 1968 I would be voting for the man who would lead my beloved country for the ne xt four years. It was difficult.   My

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here’s the headline that inspired me to write this article: [ Driven by Republicans, most Americans are concerned about fraud in the 2024 election ] Let me offer you a statistic which is also an undeniable fact. The percentage of voter fraud in modern elections is .012. In the 2016 and 2020 election, the few situations when voter fraud was suspected and confirmed were committed by Donald Trump supporters. When the 2020 election was complete, Trump’s own Election Czar told reporters: “this election was the safest and most secure in history.” Just yesterday information hidden from the American people since 2021 confirmed that on November 23, 2020, Trump was aware that there was no proof that massive fraud in any form had been discovered and he would lose any court case he filed to change the results. What happened later were criminal actions attempting to illegally overturn the results. One more fact. Mail-in voting is the most secure option available. Many Americ

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart History will never see a more effective conman than Donald John Trump. For 78 years he made fools of thousands and even millions of Americans for his personal benefit. Yes, it is a fact that Trump is mentally ill. He is the definition of a “malignant narcissist.” Listening to part of his speech today, he is undoubtedly suffering from dementia or a normal but substantial decline in his mental abilities. He is an old 78. However, he continues to lie and create conspiracy theories that are so unbelievable Walt Disney would reject them. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A NOTICABLE DECLINE, TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS REMAIN LOYAL Trump respects no one. He has no interest in anyone other than himself. Recently it was revealed that he despises those men and women who stood by him through every lie. In private, he refers to them as “basement dwellers. You might remember the uproar Hillary Clinton created when she called them “a basket of deplorables.” It is now apparent that Trump and Hillary

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Recently, Trump appeared before the Israeli-American Council National Summit in Washington. He claimed to support Israel in the current, controversial military action against Hamas. However, he couldn’t end his lie and simply leave, he made another moronic statement prior to his departure. [Israel would likely cease to exist within two years should Harris win the election, and Jews would be partly to blame for that outcome because they tend to vote for Democrats, Trump argued.] On the reverse side, he doesn’t give a damn about the Palestinian people. Trump wants your vote, regardless of your concerns. Donald John Trump is a man without morals, principles or compassion for anyone other than himself. LET’S SWITCH TO UKRAINE Trump continues to praise Vladimir Putin and supports his illegal and immoral invasion of the democratic country of Ukraine. Under his demands, the Freedom Caucus has attempted to block every aid package for Ukraine. He and his peop

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s entire life has depended on making complete fools of others. Not once in his life has he found it necessary or convenient to tell the truth. The orange buffoon is the ultimate con man. Those of you who continue to support him, those he refers to as “basement dwellers,” are the biggest fools of all. If you believe he will do anything he says if elected, there is something seriously wrong with your thought process. The evidence is undeniable, and to choose ignorance is purely moronic. Without his “basement dwellers,” Trump would be nothing but a cartoon, a caricature in the New Yorker Magazine. However, Trump would never see it: he is not intelligent enough to read the magazine, if he can read at all. BE HONEST: NOT A SINGLE PROMISE TRUMP MADE IN 2016 WAS REALIZED Trump does nothing because he knows nothing. Not a single accomplishment was recorded between 2017 and 2021 with the exception of tax cuts for the super-rich and huge corporations. In his campaig

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you watched the “debates” between Hillary Clinton and Trump, or between Joe Biden and Trump, why would you be looking forward to tonight, 9/10/24, and the “debate” between Kamala Harris and Trump? Trump either doesn’t understand the meaning of what a debate is intended to be, or he doesn’t care. I vote for the former. In 2016, 2020, and in 2024, any “debate” in which the orange buffoon participated was a farce. The intent is to learn the position of each candidate on the important issues. Every time Trump opens his piehole, it is clear that his diploma from Wharton is undeserved. Daddy Fred most certainly paid for the sheepskin his son never earned. This is why in 2017 Trump ordered all of his transcripts from any institute of education to be sealed. Therefore, he lacks the ability to speak with the knowledge and experience needed to discuss any subject. I am still not convinced that he has the ability to read. I trust no man who has never read a book. Trump’
