Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump says that he refused to accompany Epstein to his private island. If you believe that, you are dumber than your illegitimate president. Remember, Trump had his own airplane, why would he need “a ride” from his best friend? Trump is a prolific sexual predator, and a serial philanderer. It is unbelievable that he would refuse a change to sexually assault a beautiful underage woman. Even Epstein’s brother claimed that Jeffrey found Trump to be a “very sic k person.” Here’s your laugh for Monday. Trump claims that his reason for ending a long relationship with Epstein was because “he stole people who worked for me.” Really? I would bet my life that he cannot name one maid, waiter, valet parking attendant, or groundskeeper who ever worked for him at Mar-a-Lago. If he did lose a chef or someone of importance, that individual had a good reason for leaving Trump’s employ and was never “stolen.” I tired of Trump’s lies before the 2016 election. Not once in his life,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before I begin, the truth. If hell freezes over, and President Obama was convicted of a crime related to the 2016 election, Trump’s Supreme Court has already given him immunity, although they intended their actions to exclusively benefit Trump. Okay, the facts. History proves that Barack Hussein Obama was not only the first Black President, he was the only President in modern history not to be accused of criminal actions, not investigated for an alleged scandal. Trump began his first full day in office in 2017 under investigation for multiple crimes against the American people and Constitutional violations. I’m not claiming that Obama was a perfect, or even a ‘great’ president, but he had my respect if not my trust. My complaints about him involve his lack of courage. There were several times when he could have informed the American people about corruption on the right side of aisle. However, he placed his party first, not the people of our country. One of those...

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 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 ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I was just a boy, the men in my life would read the newspaper every day. I often heard them say, “I don’t know why I read this shit, there’s nothing but bad news.” As I grew older, I began to read more than the “funny papers.” I read the sports page daily. By the time I was in high school we were required to read the front page. Then it was me who complained that there was nothing but ‘bad news.’ Today, July 24, 2025, it is not ‘bad news,’ everything I read is pure evil. Defiling our White House is one, obese, very old, man who is mentally ill. The entire focus of Trump’s illegitimate presidency is devoted to harming others. It pleases him to know that his actions are causing great pain and suffering for men, women, and children whose only crimes are attempting improve their quality of life. Malignant Narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a severe personality disorder characterized by a combination of narcissistic personality disorder traits, antisocial beha...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Historians will Remember Trump as many things: a fascist, incompetent, a destroyer of all things good, a sexual predator, a malignant narcissist, a failure in all things, a pathological liar, the most unqualified man in history to reside in the White House, and a convicted felon, a traitor, and a lifetime criminal. What he will never be known for is leadership. If you thought his ‘big lie’ about the 2020 election was as ridiculous a story as you ever heard in your life, Trump is making another attempt to redirect America’s intention from his sexual escapades with Jeffrey Epstein. It is no secret that Trump was, and probably is jealous of President Obama. His popularity was unmatched in the 21 st century, and he remains the only president in modern history not to face an investigation or a scandal. Trump has been under investigation since January of 2017. The fact that President Obama is a Black man is extremely upsetting to the Nazi in the White House. The atta...

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 Okay, don’t allow your emotions to override your intelligence and your logic. Think about my title and be honest about what is happening in today’s America. Our government is dysfunctional, not because the system is not workable, but because the men and women who are simply taking up space in Washington are incompetent, and refuse to listen to the needs and wishes of the majority. As far as the right to vote, just look at the results. In two out of the last three elections, the worst, least qualified, anti-American, fascist won although his victory was secured with the interference of the President of Russia. American voters are the least informed voters in the world. And while we’re discussing changing the way we elect our nation’s leaders, let’s include the Supreme Court. Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas have the intelligence of a dung beetle, and are five of the nine most powerful people in our country. Our nation has changed and the truth is fr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One year ago today, the media received a gift. A lone assassin allegedly attempted to take Donald Trump’s life. The story includes failures by the Secret Service, and a young man whose complete story has never been told. Another failure by the mainstream media. First, some questions. How was one man carrying a high-velocity rifle allowed to access a position from which he could have a clear shot at one obese old man? How was it possible that two attendees at the rally were killed, but the biggest, obese target, standing alone and unobstructed by other people or objects, escaped the assassin’s bullet? We know that the assailant had practiced using the rifle for several hours prior to his actions on that day. I continue to ask the biggest question of all, and have questioned the validity of the stories from many media outlets several times. I am not an expert on lethal weapons, but I do have the ability to research facts which add validity to my stories. A bullet ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In December of 2019, your illegitimate president was informed by an aide, whose responsibility it was to read the Presidents Daily Brief, that a “probable healthcare emergency was evolving in Asia.” Trump ignored the information. In January of 2020, when the press began to ask questions about a new coronavirus spreading across parts of the world, Trump’s response confirmed his lack of leadership. He stood before the television cameras and lied. “America is better prepared, and it will just go away.” That was his only response, “it will just go away,” until March when Americans began to lose their lives from the deadly effects of Covid-19. After a real President, Joe Biden, created a plan to distribute a life-saving vaccine, the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 exceeded one million. Healthcare experts claim that Trump’s failure to take immediate action in January of 2020 is responsible for at least 10 percent of those deaths. Trump became not only a white-coll...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a very dumb man. If you don’t like my blunt words, stop reading now. By his own words and actions it is obvious that he did not earn his degree from Wharton. I have no doubt that Daddy Fred bought his diploma in the same manner he purchased deferments which prevented Trump from doing his duty and serving in Vietnam. This is why he had all of his academic records sealed in January of 2017. 99 percent of the world’s economists agree that placing outrageous tariffs on imports is moronic. However, there are two things everyone should learn about the old man defiling our White House. Trump has no idea how to administrate America’s economy. He is a serial failure in the business world, and a seven trillion-dollar budget is far beyond his comprehension. The second reason is based on his only tactic in the business world. Trump is a schoolyard bully. Tariffs are a tactic only a bully would use, not a man educated in an Ivy League business college. Trump’s tarif...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a bully. Using the largest non-nuclear bombs ever made in the U.S. was the ultimate act of a coward who has others do his fighting for him. Of course, there was a cost to the American people when our military dropped 14 bombs on Iran’s nuclear facilities. At more than $5,000,000 each, the cost was greater than 100 million dollars. It’s true that the older a man gets, the more expensive his toys become. Although Trump and his woefully unqualified Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, claimed that Iran’s efforts to construct nuclear weapons was “obliterated,” experts report that the military of the United States once again failed to attain its goals. [Rafael Grossi, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that US strikes on three sites a week ago had caused "severe damage" but it was not "total".] [Mr. Grossi told CBS News: "The capacities they have are there. They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I w...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, you know me, and if you read most of my rants, you know that I believe without a doubt that Trump is the worst president in history,  for the second time, and no one will ever take that title from him. You may also know that although Richard Nixon made a huge mistake, and deserved to be punished for his crime, I consider him one of the best Republican presidents in modern history. Now I’m going to tell you why. First, I offer you one fact which is irrefutable. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump failed to record a single positive accomplishment. In 2025 he has become more destructive and dictatorial than before. Unlike Nixon, Trump has not been forced to pay for his many, many crimes. That said, let’s compare Mr. Nixon’s accomplishments and how Trump has addressed the same issues today, or if he has simply ignored them. Although Trump expressed his feelings about our military personnel, calling them “suckers and losers,” what a draft dodger would say, he has ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Not one democratic government can exist with the existence of a single party. Without deliberation and compromise, democracy shrinks into non-existence and an autocracy is born. This is Donald Trump’s plan for America, and it has been fulfilled. Congress did not approve Trump’s declaration of war against Iran yesterday when he ordered our military to drop twelve 30,000-pound bombs on sites inside Iran which are allegedly dedicated to developing nuclear weapons. Not only did he refuse to follow the mandate of the Law of the Land, he ignored the entire Democratic Party. This essentially was a declaration that Democrats and Independents have no place in Trump’s new and devolved country. Only members of his American Fascist Party will be heard. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump pretended to be your dictator. In 2025 he is a dictator without opposition and therefore America’s Fuhrer. He has attained his “dream job:” Hitler 2.0. With that said, as long as Trump remains you...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The story of an “Antichrist” is found in the Old Testament in John 1, 2, and 4. However, John states that the Antichrist is not singular, but includes many who deny the teachings of Jesus Christ and seek to take his place on earth. I am convinced by his words and actions that Trump is indeed the Antichrist of the 21 st century. He opposes everything taught by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. [Love: Jesus' teachings place love at the very center, urging followers to love God and love their neighbors as themselves. This love extends to enemies, demonstrating a radical approach to compassion and forgiveness.] Trump preaches anger, hatred, violence in his name, and revenge. He has spent his first five months in office seeking revenge against anyone he perceives as his enemy. This need to spite those who disagree with his fascist policies is the direct result of his lifelong disease, Malignant Narcissism. Malignant Narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a form o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most Americans believe that Trump is a moron and his incompetence is why our nation is in a state of chaos. They are only partly accurate.  He is a moron: a braggart who believes he is intelligent and more important than anyone else in the world. His lifelong disease, malignant narcissism, makes him weak. However, our current government, 435 members of the House, 100 Senators, and six biased members of the Supreme Court are cowards and place the people of their country at the bottom of their “to do list.” Doing the right thing for God and Country is the missing ingredient in Washington today.  Our Founding Fathers made many mistakes between 1787 and 1789 during the Constitutional Convention. All of the participants were aware of this fact, and many admitted their failings in letters after the signing of the Law of the Land. Their most destructive error was their faith in human nature. They believed that their successors would improve upon what they had...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Contrary to Trump’s lie, Greedflation continues to grow. Domestic terrorism continues to escalate, making leaving your home a threat to your life. Protest against the fascist actions by Trump and Musk continue. Every day more Americans are losing faith in our government and find reasons to believe that our nation is broken beyond repair. Fear, despair, and mistrust have replaced any feelings of security the American people might have felt prior to January 20, 2025. Between 2017 and 2021, the Trump administration failed to present a single positive accomplishment for the majority of our nation’s people. To the contrary, the orange buffoon’s failure to take timely action when he was made aware of an approaching healthcare emergency, cost more than one million Americans their lives, and nearly placed our nation in a second Great Depression. Experts in healthcare claim that Trump is directly responsible for as many as 100,000 of those lives based on his failure to t...
