Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret among informed American citizens that Trump idolized Adolf Hitler. He read the Fuhrer’s speeches over and over again, dreaming about the possibilities he might achieve in his own life. In 1987, Trump and his first trophy wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow at the invitation of the KGB. Vladimir Putin was its rising star. As you might expect, there are no records of their initial meeting. However, in 2013, while attending the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, compiled a dossier revealing secret meetings between Putin and Trump. Although the truth about Putin’s confirmed interference in the 2016 Presidential Election was not revealed until the election was certified by the Electoral College, it is now a proven fact that the Russian President’s interference was a factor in the results. Other reasons were misogyny among young male voters, James Comey’s 11 th hour announcement about a new investigation into Hillary C...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If your family is like mine, wanting to be informed about what is happening to our country every day, your day probably begins like this: someone says, “you have to see this.” You respond, “what’s the moron done now.” Trump is unpredictable because he has no idea what he is doing until he makes another stupid and destructive decision. His decisions fail to accomplishment anything of a positive nature. However, he always embarrasses himself, and causes more damage to our nation’s people. When he can’t have his way with something, he reverts to what he is, a spoiled, white, rich child, and “throws another tantrum.” This is typical for anyone who was raised without taking responsibility for his or her own actions or inaction. DJT uses his military like a toddler sitting on his bedroom floor, deciding which toy to play with, or destroy next. AS WE GROW OLDER, SOME PEOPLE BECOME CHILDREN AGAIN Trump is a very old man. He became an octogenarian on June 14, 2026. Altho...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As the midterm elections draw near, it’s time to rate your illegitimate president on what he has done, and what he has not done. First, the only thing he has done is to give additional tax breaks to the super-rich: his oligarchs/billionaires. That’s it. The issues he has either refused to address, or situations he made worse, are numerous. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the White House. He is building an unwanted and unnecessary ballroom. This fiasco will cost taxpayers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars if it is ever completed. During his administration, President Obama, spent about $34 million repairing the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Trump, attempting to undo another accomplishment of a real president, gave a “no bid” contract to a personal friend to make changes. It was a disaster, and remains incomplete. The cost, so far, is about $25 million. Trump’s celebration of our nation’s 250-year anniversary cost more than $150 million; most of it tax...

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 On February 28, 2026, Trump unilaterally began missile strikes against the sovereign nation of Iran, without provocation. Iran has responded with counterattacks, killing a reported 18 members of United States military personnel. Seven months later, there is no indication that Trump’s war will ever end. Trump claims that this is not a war, because if it is, he has committed another huge violation of the Constitution. The truth is, he chose to attack Iran to create a distraction from his close association with pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. Seven months later He is unable to find a way out of this mess and not be blamed for another failure in a life composed of losses and defeat. IF YOU CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE WORST MAN IN THE WORLD, YOU WILL NOT LIKE THESE FACTS War: a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations (2): a period of such armed conflict This definition confirms another constitutional violation by America’s most pro...

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 This story will be short. The facts are undeniable, and the truth is found in another failure by the world’s least successful man. Fact number one: Obama spent about 34 million dollars repairing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The job was completed during the Biden administration. Lie number one: Trump lied again, claiming that Obama and Biden spent “hundreds of millions of dollars on the project.” Fact number two: Since 2017, Trump has attempted to undo the many accomplishments of his predecessors. He decided to redesign the pool, “putting his name on it.” Lie number two: Trump claimed the project would cost 12 million dollars. His folly is reaching the 30-million-dollar mark. DETAILS ABOUT ANOTHER TRUMP FAILURE Trump had a “better idea.” The science denier wanted to paint the bottom of the pool “flag blue.” The pool is under the auspices of the Parks and Recreation Department. Any project under their control requires three bids by certified contractors. ...

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 Trump told “his people” time and time again: “I love spending other people’s money.” Over the last 18 months we learned that for once he told the truth. His tacky remodel of the White House, a ballroom no one but he wants, the destruction of the reflecting pool, and an arch will cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Add to this the fact that his many trips on Air Force One to play golf, or travel to Mar-a-Lago are a waste of more than 10 million dollars each month. MORE PROMISES MADE, MORE PROMISES BROKEN Campaign promises which were actually lies: “I will end inflation on day one.” “I will end the invasion of Ukraine on day one.” “With me as your president, there will be no more wars in the Middel East.” There is one truth, one irrefutable fact involving everything Trump is doing while pretending to be your president. His 989 oligarchs are profiting from another Trump presidency, while the average American is struggling at the grocery store and the gas pump. Trum...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Moscow Mitch McConnell was the worst Senate Majority Leader in history. His record proves that he never accomplished a single thing in his lifetime which improved the quality of life for the average American. Everything he did was designed to enhance his personal life and increase his failing party’s power. It was Moscow Mitch who broke his own rule in 2020 and placed Amy Coney Barrett in the Supreme Court. This gave the Trump-supporting Supreme Court a super majority. With this super majority, MM accomplished his career goal. On June 24, 2022, six corrupt justices removed a woman’s right to make decisions about her own mental and physical health. Roe V Wade was overturned by a vote of 6-3. REPUBLICANS ARE HIDING THE TRUTH Moscow Mitch has been hospitalized for more than three weeks. No one can verify his condition, although some fake Republicans claim that they have spoken to the 84-year-old traitor. Personally, I hope he is no longer among the living. Like Don...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, is a Trump Lacky. He is also, like his handler, a tool of the super-rich. If you live in Nevada, you have likely watched his expensive and professionally produced commercials. In them, professional actors claim that Lombardo has improved our state’s healthcare, schools, and made housing affordable. Here are the irrefutable facts. FOUR YEARS LATER, NEVADA IS IN A HEALTHCARE CRISIS Joe Lombardo became Nevada’s governor in 2022. Like his hero, Donald Trump, he has accomplished nothing. The truth reveals that the Silver State is in crisis when the subject is healthcare. MY ADVIDE: DON’T GET SICK IN NEVADA [In 2026, Nevada consistently ranks near the bottom for overall healthcare and health system performance. Key indexes place the state as 31st, 42nd, and 50th nationally. Nevada struggles with a severe shortage of primary care providers and frequently ranks second in the U.S. for residents avoiding care due to high costs.] I can attest...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump and the Trump Party are composed of liars, incompetents, and racists. I have said many times that “if Trump’s lips are moving, he’s lying.” Trump loves to brag about other Democratic president’s accomplishments, claiming them as his own. However, when he fails, which is every time he attempts to do anything, he blames his debacle on someone else. A FAILURE A MINUTE Like his lies, Trump’s failures have reached numbers too big to count. And the saga continues. First, and foremost, you must know that everything Trump attempts is an effort to satisfy his insatiable ego. This fact is the result of a lifelong mental disease known as “malignant narcissism,” combined with advancing dementia. His latest efforts, and therefore his latest failures, involve the reflecting pool on the National Mall, and his tacky plan to celebrate our nation’s 250 th anniversary. He is calling it the “Great American State Fair.” When it began this week, the water in the reflecting poo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Since 2015, Trump and Tucker Carlson have been like brothers from another mother. They shared fascist beliefs, and constantly lied about what was actually happening in Washington and red states. However, as it happens in many families, these siblings have parted ways, and the split is filled with anger and accusations. REVEALED: THE REAL DONALD TRUMP Carlson told a reporter that Trump’s unilateral decision to begin a war with Iran, and the fact he and our incompetent leaders in the Pentagon failed to accomplish a single goal, and therefore lost the war, reveal the irrefutable fact that he is a “weak, old man.” He also referred to him as “buffoonish,” After Trump’s incessant posting on Truth Social, Carlson uttered the words, “Shut-up Bitch,” and offered his opinion of your failed and illegitimate president. “After the four hundredth Truth Social, they reached the same conclusion that everyone on the globe reached, which was, ‘This guy’s not strong, he’s weak.’ S...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The facts are irrefutable. Donald Trump is America’s greatest traitor, and its greatest enemy, equaled only by his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. To call him “America’s worst president in history” is redundant. Two impeachments, zero fair trials in the Senate: committing treason on January 6, 2021: violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021: responsible for many of the one-million-plus deaths from Covid-19 after failing to take immediate action: and placing our economy in proximity to a second great depression: these are the highlights of Trump’s first term between 2017 and 2021. From his first day in office until today, his second term is far, far worse. PROJECT 2025: 922 PAGES OF FASCIST DOCTRINE On January 21, 2025, Trump revealed his plans for the next four years. He began efforts to destroy the lives of his enemies: more than 200 million patriotic Americans. His early Constitutional violations were efforts to use his position as your illegitimate president...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I find it ludicrous to believe that Trump and his propaganda machines, Fox News, News Nation, and the others, continue to repeat the biggest lie in history.  “The 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history.” This statement was made by Christopher Krebs after the election was confirmed. He was the man Trump selected to be his election czar. He was telling the truth. 60 state courts threw out Trump’s false allegations. His own, stacked Supreme Court examined the filings offered by Trump’s attorneys and refused to address his big lie. The truth is, Trump got his humongous derriere kicked. Suffering from a lifelong mental illness, his ego is incapable of accepting another defeat. RIGHT-WING VOTER SUPPRESSION Using Trump’s big lie, red states are once again engaged in actions which can only be called voter suppression. They are attempting to hide the truth, citing the “2020 rigged election.” Here’s the truth about voter fraud in the United States. Th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There is no vandalism. For once in your waste of human life, admit that you fucked up. You gave a friend a “no bid” contract for an unnecessary rebuild of the reflecting pool, and it is clear that he had no idea what he was doing. It appears that he took some of the Hispanic employees you have at Mar-a-Lago to do the job. Big mistake. It turned vomit green as it was being filled, and I assume he used regular house paint to cover the bottom instead of marine-quality paint. SAD, SO SAD The irrefutable truth is that Trump’s life story is a tale of abject failure. He has never accomplished anything of value in 80 years. He has made many mistakes, although he continues his lie: “I have never done anything wrong.” He attempts to justify the fact that he is a draft dodger. He also refuses to admit that when Covid-19 became deadly in America, his claim that “it will just go away” resulted in more than a million deaths In 2024, uninformed voters gave Trump a second chan...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yes, I am a wise old fart. I have lived in my beloved country for nearly 80 years. That is why what I see happening in my nation of choice is so upsetting and even incomprehensible. My articles are often repetitive, and I am fully aware of this fact. Sometimes I think that I’m attempting to wake up and find that this is all a nightmare. Maybe it’s the memory of a bad movie I watched 40 years ago. Unfortunately, our elected officials are so cowardly and incompetent that what I am experiencing is reality. WAS I BRAINWASHED? I think back to my younger years when I was growing up in the post war era and how I viewed my country. I might have been brainwashed as I review my thoughts and beliefs as a young American. However, by the time I was partially an illusion, manufactured by the politicians in Washington. OUR LEADERS HAVE EMBARRASSED OUR FOUNDING FATHERS When I compare the courage and dedication of our Founding Fathers to what has happened to my country over the ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Whoever came up with the idea to have a national holiday to celebrate all 47 of our nation’s presidents was an idiot who obviously never read the history of our country. Most of the men who were given the opportunity and privilege to lead America’s people were complete failures, and some caused harm to our nation’s future. Only a few should receive such an honor, because only a handful performed the duties required of an American President. When I was a young man, our nation celebrated the lives of two Presidents, Abraham Lincoln on February 12 th , and George Washington on February 22 nd . They were deserving of the honor. I would have added Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose birthday is January 30. “The People’s President” was the greatest of all time for a single reason: he was the only man to place all Americans in priority number one. MY AMERICA TOOK ITS LAST BREATH ON JANUARY 20, 2017 On January 20, 2017, not only was the worst president in history  inau...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart As you know by now, our Founding Fathers made mistakes. They knew it, but believed that their successors would make the necessary improvements. They expected others would be eager to follow them and serve their country, their people. However, they failed to foresee the weakness and lack of character we experience today. The federal government of the United States is the most incompetent and corrupt in the world in 2026. And their leader is the “Don” of the Washington Mafia.” “The president continues to find new, once-unimaginable ways to use the awesome powers of the federal government to enrich himself.” Michael A. Cohen, (author). HOW MANY OF OUR ELECTED AND APPOINTED LEADERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY? The saddest and most important lesson I learned over my nearly 80 years as a patriotic American, is that in the 21 st century, no one with extreme wealth and/or power can be trusted. If I had to guess, I believe that about 80 percent of those who spend ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart No one could write a movie this confusing. On every set is a person whose job is to ensure that the film contains continuity and makes sense from beginning to end. What’s left of Donald Trump’s little brain is a f**king mess. No one knows what he is doing, including Donald John Trump. The old, mentally disabled, obese man who is pretending to be your president revealed himself as the Antichrist years ago. When speaking to his cult, he exalts himself constantly. He easily brainwashes, his weak-minded followers who became convinced that Donald Trump is the Messiah: greater than Mohammad or Jesus Christ. TRUMP TOLD HIS FOLLOWERS THAT HE IS GREATER THAN JESUS CHRIST “‘Do not turn to idols or make metal gods for yourselves. I am the LORD your God.” Trump is a fake Christian. The pastor of the Church Trump claims to be his place of worship, revealed that Trump has never crossed its threshold. It is obvious that he never read the bible, and definitely not the New Testa...
