Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart According to the pastor of a church Trump claims to be his own place of worship, the orange buffoon has never once crossed its threshold. As the people of America and the world have learned over the last 10+ years, every action Trump takes is in direct opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. Posts on his personal propaganda machine, Truth Social, prove that he is indeed the Antichrist revealed in the books of John. It was announced a few days ago that other fake Christians will post readings from the Bible over the next week to 10 days from cover to cover. Trump will submit a reading from the Old Testament. For obvious reasons, he refuses to read any passages from the New Testament. It is no secret that the Old Testament is compiled from legend and fairy tales without any iota of proof. ALL PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS ARE BAD, SOME ARE JUST PURE EVIL I love satire, it makes me laugh. My favorite satirist is a writer by the name of Amb rose...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the time statistics were kept, the percentage of attempted voter fraud is .012 percent. With very few exceptions, all of these efforts were stopped before the votes were counted. After the historic results of the 2020 election were posted, Trump’s own Election Czar, Chris Korebs, told the press: “the 2020 election was the safest and most secure election in history.” Trump immediately fired him for telling the truth. After an investigation into the 2024 election, it is clear that voting by mail is much safer than voting on machines located in polling facilities across America. At least two or our nation’s most credible cyber security agencies claimed that Russian hackers accessed the voting machines in all seven swing states in the 2024 election, and once again Trump’s victory was illegitimate, rigged by Vladimir Putin. THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP’S EFFORT TO CEASE VOTING BY MAIL A fact your government and the mainstream media doesn’t want you to know is that when...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Joe Lombardo is the current Governor of Nevada. He is unfit for office and another Trump sycophant. He is up for reelection in November and has been placing expensive and fallacious ads on television, paid for by Trump’s oligarchs. He lied about his “accomplishments” in healthcare and reducing the cost of single family homes and apartment rentals. He is now doing the same about education in the Silver State. NEVADA HAS SOME OF THE WORST SCHOOLS IN THE NATION Fact: “Nevada ranks as the second least educated state in America.” Most jobs in Nevada are minimum wage or slightly higher, and those jobs do not require more than a high school diploma. Education has seldom been a priority for most of our state’s leaders. It is no secret that Las Vegas is our most populated city. It is also no secret that the University of Nevada at Las Vegas is one of the most poorly rated institutions of higher learning in the nation. The University of Nevada-Reno is a more respected ins...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Last Monday, a poll revealed that Trump’s approval rating dropped to 36 percent; the lowest for a second term president in modern history. As Trump’s War against Iran continues, and gas prices escalate, his very low numbers are expected to continue on a downward spiral. WHAT HAS TRUMP ACCOMPLISHED? All politicians make promises they know they’ll never keep. However, when the promises come from the man or woman the states choose to lead our nation, we pay attention. Trump promised to end inflation, more accurately known as “Greedflation,” on day one. He also promised to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine immediately, During his many hate rallies, he promised to end military conflicts around the world and prevent America from becoming involved in another unwinnable war. In January 2025, Trump and his campaign financier, Elon Musk, began taking revenge on anyone who disagreed with the orange buffoon’s fascist plans for America. Thousands of men and women who actually...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Like his Fuhrer, Nevada Governor, Joe Lombardo, has accomplished nothing for the people of his state, while lies, claiming successes which are in reality revelations of his support for millionaires and billionaires. Last year, Lombardo approved ads placed by real estate developers falsely claiming that with the increase in availability of new homes and apartments, housing costs and rental rates would be reduced. Less than 50 percent of all Nevadans can afford a new home. A large number of newly constructed single family homes are purchased by corporations who will overcharge their renters and make huge profits. Like the rest of America, in Nevada, it’s all about profits for the super-rich. [Many Nevadans cannot comfortably afford apartment rents, with the state ranking as the second most rent-burdened in the U.S.. In 2024, nearly 58% of Nevada renter households were cost-burdened (spending >30% of income on housing), and a minimum wage worker cannot afford th...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I wrote my first article about the harm a Trump presidency would cause the American people in 2015, the first thing I learned about the orange buffoon was how poorly educated he was. The second was a revelation that he had a very low level of intelligence. I also had suspicions about his mental acuity, which were soon confirmed. Early in 2017 dozens of reputable psychiatrists offered their joint opinion that Trump was afflicted with Malignant Narcissism. When he was awarded the presidency in 2016, his first actions surpassed my greatest fears. No one could have imagined the level of destruction one man could create. However, one year into his second illegitimate presidency, he more than tripled the damage done to our nation during his first four years. Prior to his huge loss in the 2020 election, Trump and his puppet, Moscow Mitch McConnell, destroyed the credibility of the Supreme Court. They added three unqualified justices who promised to support the pol...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Nothing irritates me more than listening to someone brag about their intelligence, and then make a huge mistake by attempting to say something, proving that they are “dumber than a bag of rocks.” This perfectly describes Trump and his entire administration. I am definitely not the only person in the world who is aware of how dangerous our nation has become. Whether you are a citizen, an immigrant, or a tourist, America has become a nation whose entire environment is composed of anger, extreme hatred, and escalating violence, most arising from within its own government. UNDER TRUMP, OVERSEAS TOURISM IS IN STEEP DECLINE Trump has intentionally placed a sign on every port of entry into the United States for all to see. It has a simple message which anyone can understand: “You Are Not Welcome Here.” Over Trump’s first year in office, tourism is down by 9.4%. That translates into a 29-billion-dollar loss for America’s economy. THE WORST ECONOMY IN MODERN HISTORY ONLY...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The mainstream media is constantly hiding facts from the American people. I will never offer less than the truth to my readers. Trump sent National Guard Troops to Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago for one reason, and one reason only: to prevent the “No Kings” protests against his authoritarian and fascist actions by true and patriotic Americans. As America’s leading hypocrite, he is taking action to protect protestors, albeit in a Muslim nation. Protests against the failure of Iran’s leaders based on a declining economy, have turned deadly. “If Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which is their custom, the United States of America will come to their rescue. We are locked and loaded and ready to go.” Throughout our nation’s 249 years, our federal government continues to interfere with events occurring in other nations. We are not a “great nation,” and we are not the “world’s police force.” We have no right to impose our beliefs on other nations...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The Darkest Day in American History happened on January 6, 2021. My wife and I watched all three hours of an event planned, organized, and executed by a sitting president. It was an attempted coup, although it has been represented as a lesser crime by those who support Donald John Trump. The second darkest day happened in October of 2020. Breaking his own unconstitutional rule, Moscow Mitch McConnell’s choice to complete the nine-members of the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett, was confirmed by the Senate just weeks prior to the presidential election in November. Moscow Mitch and Trump succeeded in their efforts to stack the Supreme Court of the United States with three additional right-wing extremists, created a super majority by 6-3. Their first notable and destructive effort occurred on June 24, 2022. Six fascist-leaning justices overturned a 49-year-old decision by a legitimate Court known as Roe v Wade. This action removed the rights of all women to make de...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Anyone who is honest with themself knows that Trump’s history is filled with tales of extreme racism, sexual depravity, and white-collar crime. After he declared his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in June of 2015 he exposed the “real Donald Trump.” We learned that he has no concern, no compassion, for anyone other than himself. As more information was released in 2017, his lifelong mental affliction of malignant narcissism was revealed. He actually enjoys his ability to make the lives of others more difficult. As your illegitimate president, he is following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, word for word. His ultimate goal is to become our nation’s dictator for the remainder of his disgusting and pitiful life. Democrats refused to agree to plans ending the recent government shutdown until millions of Americans covered by the Affordable Care Act, and receive subsidies, were protected. However, eight cowards, including both ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is an ‘equal opportunity bigot:’ he hates everyone who is not pure white and wealthy. Knowing this, I was not surprised when he called all immigrants from Somalia “garbage.” [In a xenophobic rant during a cabinet meeting, Trump went off on Somalis and Ilhan Omar, the congressional representative who is from Somalia and is a US citizen. He said Somalia “stinks” and is “no good for a reason”. [“They contribute nothing. I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” he said. He called Omar “garbage” and said, “we’re going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country”.] I would like to define “garbage” when the word is used to describe another human being. I do not believe in using terms which demean other men and women. However, your illegitimate and immoral president proves his lack of average intelligence every day when he calls his enemies by names he believes define them as inferior. Let’s look at reality and the hi...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you ask any working-class person in any democratic nation, “what is the most important issue in any election,” the answer will always be “the economy.” Uninformed voters believed Trump’s baseless braggadocio between 2017 and 2021. He claimed that America’s recovering economy was his accomplishment, although facts prove that every positive action began during President Obama’s administration and was responsible for the growth of America’s economy. The choice to choose ignorance over fact was a critical fact in Trump’s illegitimate victory in 2024. A little history ignored by voters who, like Trump, “learn everything they need to know from television.” In 1992 Bill Clinton was elected. The primary reason for his victory was the fact that the fiscal policies of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush greatly diminished the quality of life for the majority, and increased the national debt by more than a trillion dollars. When Clinton left office in 2001, the economy o...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are at least two Americas. One is composed of about 95 percent of citizens who work hard to make better lives for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. My America is grateful for its diversity. We are a nation of immigrants. We are not perfect, but most try to be. We never ask for much, and we usually get less. The other America is occupied by men and women who came into great wealth at birth. Some obtained great wealth when offered “once in a lifetime opportunities” not available to the majority. As a small child, I never knew that I was poor. I remember my childhood as “great.” I didn’t have money in my pockets, I had “treasures” which were worth little or nothing but had meaning for me. I look back on my younger years and have mostly fond memories, although I understood the struggle my mother faced every day, worrying that her children might not have enough to eat. We always did, somehow. Trump and his oligarchs never faced “worry.” Their...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here’s the latest from the biggest liar in world history. Trump says that he will authorize $2,000.00 checks to all working-class Americans. However, one of his top aides reports the facts, the truth. You and I will not receive “checks.” His form of aid for the majority. His “gift,” will be in the form of “tax breaks.” He knows that one-half of all Americans pay little or no taxes. We are in the “low-income,” or “poverty” brackets in our nation’s economy. We will continue to struggle every time we go to the grocery store. Trump lies and brags about everything, which is nothing. The problem for him is the fact that everything he “accomplishes” harms the majority and increases the outrageous wealth of his oligarchs. Want proof? Look at Trump’s reason for his “gift.” [Donald Trump has vowed to pay a $2,000 (£1,520) “tariff dividend” to American households in a radical stimulus package that could trigger a stock market boom.] Only the wealthiest Americans are heavil...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s personal beliefs: white supremacy, fascism, the repeal of the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendments, and rule by the super-rich. What he does not believe: freedom and justice for all, due process, tradition, history, the rule of law, complete equality for all, diversity, inclusion, free thought, doing the right thing, and the New Testament of the Bible. Trump’s fascist administration, whose only “gods” are power and great wealth, consistently brag about ‘protecting religious freedom.’ Their actions prove that this only applies to Christian extremism, and their support for the  Old Testament: a collection of fairy tales and fables . They reject your right to practice the Religion of Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or any other faith not controlled by priests, ministers, pastors, and most significantly Evangelical leaders.    Their leader, Dictator Donny Trump, has never been a “Christian.” During the 2016 campaign season, he offered t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Power is mostly about control. It is also about pleasing oneself while the masses suffer. Malignant Narcissist Donald John Trump takes great pleasure knowing that his actions are harming America’s poor, especially minorities and all non-Christians who are not pure white. Trump is enjoying his government shutdown. He has never been and never will be a “working president,” but without all members of Congress in session, even less is required of him. Thank you to the cowardly Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. Trump continues to receive his salary and benefits, but the most wasteful and excessive privilege is his use of Air Force One, and the Secret Service, costing taxpayers millions of dollars for his personal enjoyment. Trump is golfing incessantly. He recently returned from an unnecessary trip to Asia, avoiding the demands to release the Epstein files, and seriously addressing his government shutdown. He continues to party with his oligarchs at his personal pl...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What Trump is, is not news. He is your illegitimate president, having won two “rigged” elections. He is the leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America. He staged a fake assassination attempt to improve his declining approval ratings. Trump is destroying our nation piece by piece. He is a confirmed sexual predator and undoubtedly a pedophile. What Trump is not is intelligent, or a man who cares about the 340 million people he was illegitimately elected to serve. However, two recent illegal and immoral actions by the orange buffoon are really pissing me off. My wife and I often discuss one of America’s greatest failures. Unlike Europe and Asia, our country’s greediest men and women are constantly destroying everything old instead of renovating some of our most beautiful architectural creations of the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Newer is not always better. Fortunately, every city and town in America declares the original area of their communities historical sights...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s easier to list the traits which do not apply to your illegitimate president based on a life filled with failures than positive qualities. However, I can find adjectives and nouns which expose the real con man who has fully revealed himself over the last 10 years. He was born into a very wealthy family deeply embedded in white privilege. He was never required to perform anything which might be defined as “work” throughout his pitiful and useless life. Listening to and reading his rambling, incoherent, and often illiterate speeches offer irrefutable proof that although he has a diploma from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business College, he attended very few classes, if any. Because of his mental diseases, malignant narcissism, and escalating dementia, his mind is a virtual “wet rag.” His thought process is uncertain, ranging from rage and a desire for revenge against anyone he perceives to be an enemy, and his need for adulation and relevance. At ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Beginning in June of 2015, not a single day has passed without the name “Trump” appearing in every legitimate and illegitimate news service, or his old, ugly face appearing somewhere on television and the internet. He and I are the same age, and I have a reason to outlive the old bastard. I want to live long enough to read the news and not see the name ‘Trump’ or his picture anywhere. I truly don’t understand. There is no legitimate reason for the least intelligent, and least accomplished old man in the world to be covered constantly by the media. He cannot put two sentences together. He slurs and rambles. Not once in his pitiful and far-too-long life has he spoken the truth or offered one idea which would be beneficial for the American people and the world. Trump is the source and the example of why America’s people have become ignorant sheep marching to the slaughterhouse. A few, recent lies and irrational thoughts from your illegitimate president. I begin wit...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Of course, my title’s question is facetious. Trump has never done anything for anyone else in his life. Afflicted with malignant narcissism, he is incapable of having normal feelings of empathy and compassion. Trump has proven one thing over his 79 pitiful and useless years on earth, he has a narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire. Every human being asks his or herself one question, multiple times in their lives: “what if I had taken the left fork in the road instead of the right?” As a political writer, having written thousands of articles exposing the “real Donald Trump,” I look back at the 2000 election, the 2016 election and the 2024 debacle. I begin with the 2000 election. Some of you may be too young to remember the contest between Clinton’s Vice-President, Al Gore, ...
