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 You do not need to read the news to know what Trump’s reaction will be to the November 4, 2025 elections. No old man in the world is more predictable than Donald John Trump. His own words: “I have never done anything wrong,” speaks volumes. “A man who refuses to learn from his own mistakes is a fool.” No elementary school teacher, high school teacher, or college professor is a better teacher than the past, including our own actions and words we may regret. World War II was a joint effort by nations who believed in democracy and basic human rights and freedoms to defeat the ambitions of a tyrannical and vicious madman seeking world domination. In 2025, the old, obese, mentally deranged man defiling our White House is closely following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025. Trump has physically destroyed a huge part of the home he has been privileged to occupy until January 20, 2029. A very old man who lives in the past, who has no “taste” and no respect for our...

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 I’ve said it all. I know everything about Trump, all of it bad, and anyone who doesn’t see what I see is choosing to be ignorant. Trump lacks everything needed to be an average president because he is void of the qualities necessary which compose a good person. It doesn’t take a genius to see that all of his problems are related to the irrefutable fact that he has less than average intelligence, was poorly educated, and possesses absolutely no common sense. I grew up in Los Angeles in the 1950’s and 1960’s. My brother and I were latchkey kids, and most of our entertainment at home came from a 19-inch black-and-white television. Even when doing homework, the television was on. Therefore, I often think of people I know as characters I saw in movies and on sitcoms. Trump reminds me of the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz. The only thing he wanted was a “brain.” However, unlike Trump, he learned that he possessed common sense, and made good decisions most of the time. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Exit polls taken in swing states on November 5, 2024, revealed how uninformed the average American voter truly is. When asked why they voted for Trump, the reply was always similar to, “I think he’ll be better for the economy.” They were obviously unaware that Trump’s failure to lead our nation in the fight against a deadly coronavirus, combined with his failed fiscal policy, nearly created a second Great Depression in 2020, and added eight trillion dollars to the national debt. “What their responses said to me was, “how bad can he be?” Those same voters are suffering from how bad the orange buffoon has become. All politicians make promises. During the 2016 campaign, Trump made promises about a wall, which would have failed, and how great the economy would be if he was elected: and many, many more. He kept none of these promises. During the 2024 campaign, his biggest promises were to end the war in Ukraine on day one, as well as the current “Greedflation.” As of...

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 Trump’s supporters are suffering from Trump’s many failed and destructive policies. Most remain loyal members of his cult. These are “Trump’s people,” and the only men and women in America who do not reject his attempts to replace democracy with fascism. I doubt most Americans are aware that today the United States is a plutocracy/oligarchy. Trump and his 902 billionaires/oligarchs control everything in America today, without exception. Fact: a plutocracy cannot be sustained in a democratic society. Only a fascist regime can maintain the status quo. This is why Trump fears and even hates well-educated and informed Americans. The truth is his greatest enemy, and only those who choose ignorance over fact could possibly support Trump after all the damage he has done to their futures. We cannot forget the facts. In 2020, Trump was solely responsible for the massive number of American lives lost related to Covid-19. His ignorance and apathy could have prevented the l...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is not concerned with the welfare of most of our nation’s people. His focus is solely on seven percent of all Americans: billionaires and multi-billionaires. Multiple promises were made to the working-class in 2024. But, as it was in 2016, they were all lies. Greedflation continues to grow here in Nevada and across the United States. The invasion of Ukraine continues to escalate, and taxes have been raised on working Americans, and lowered for the super-rich. Unless an Act of God happens in the next three days, our federal government will shut down on Wednesday. America is the only nation which passes an annual budget, and later requires an agreement on the “debt ceiling,” and how those funds are allocated. In 2025 our government is undoubtedly the most corrupt and incompetent in the world. A couple of days ago, a meeting between your illegitimate president and leaders of the Democratic Party was scheduled to discuss a possible prevention of that shutdown....

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On Wednesday, Trump stood before the world and proved that he is a blithering idiot. He bragged about things he has failed to accomplish, called the leaders of the European Union morons, and claimed that only he could solve all of the world’s problems. It took him nearly an hour to embarrass our nation, and prove that our voters are uninformed and ignorant. I’m shocked that no one walked out on his moronic tirade after the first 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. Standing in front of the entire world was a malignant narcissist suffering from dementia, who is the greatest failure in our nation’s history and offering proof with his own ludicrous and ridiculous speech. For your incompetent president, his greatest and most revealing statement was calling climate change caused by man, a “hoax.” This proved to the world that he and his American Nazi Party were born with only half a brain. They are the only people in all of developed nations who refuse ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that Trump is the most hated man in the world. His ‘guaranteed to fail’ tariffs are causing distress in every nation on the planet. The question is, how did this 79-year-old man earn the criticism and hate of billions of people? Although this short article will not explain what happened inside Trump’s little brain, we do know what happened to him physically. Trump was born in New York on June 14, 1946. Three weeks later, yours truly would begin his own journey on planet earth. His parents, Fred and Mary Anne, already had three children, Marrianee, born in 1937, Frederick, 1938, and Elizabeth, 1942. Trump had one younger brother, Robert, born in 1948. There is little information about Trump’s life as a child, his immediate family has refrained from talking about their brother for the most part. His oldest sister, Marianne, a retired Appeals Court Judge, did offer a few remarks. Marianne referred to her younger brother and his presidency, calling h...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The quality of life for most Americans is in steep decline. Trump refused to keep his number one promise and “end inflation on day one.” We, the people, are beginning to feel the pain from Trump’s moronic tariffs. Most importantly, the average American cannot afford to buy a home or rent a decent apartment in 2025. I live in Northern Nevada. Nevada has a hypocritical, lying bastard of a governor. Joe Lombardo is a “Trump lackey” and kisses his Fuhrer’s humongous ass constantly. He paid ordinary citizens to lie in an ad designed to increase the bank accounts of our state’s home builders. The ad was a big lie, claiming that more availability would lower the costs of homes and apartment rentals. The new apartments near my home are ridiculously expensive. A one-bedroom rents for about $1,700 per month. Incomes in Northern Nevada are far lower than the national average. One-half of all Americans struggle to survive on an annual income which is far below the nat...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I will not give up. After the alleged assassination attempt on Trump in July of 2024, I had many questions, and found one answer to all my own questions. After the sniper’s bullet nicked Trump’s ear, where did the bullet go? A small nick on the ear would not redirect a high-velocity projectile. There was a huge crowd behind your illegitimate president. No one reported an injury or any other information about where the bullet found the end of its journey. I assume that the Secret Service would have performed its duties, but I was wrong. That bullet was evidence, but they obviously didn’t care. I do know that Vince McMahon, a man whose life has been involved in professional wrestling might have taught Trump an old trick. There never was a bullet. There was the sound of a rifle expelling a deadly round, but it was not aimed at the worst man in the world. When everyone heard the sound, Trump ducked behind the podium. When he stood up again, a small amount of blood w...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart NAFTA was not perfect. However, this free trade agreement between Canada, the United States, and Mexico was critical in establishing economic security for all of North America. Tariffs were eliminated. All three nations were allowed to set prices for their commodities without interference. It was very successful until George W. Bush placed our nation in two unwinnable wars, and allowed Wall Street to avoid oversight and nearly bankrupt our nation. This agreement was voided by Trump in 2017. In 2025, and although he was advised not to place tariffs on nearly every nation in the world, Trump is playing the role of a schoolyard bully and threatening all nations, including our closest allies and neighbors, with outrageous tariffs unless they agree to his demands. On September 18, 2025, Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, and Mexican President, Claudia Scheinbaum, met in Alberta, Canada to finalize negotiations designed to bypass involvement by America’s failed and...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Over the last couple of weeks, Trump has ordered his oligarchs to fire two men who have been constant critics of his failure to lead our nation. Paramount, the parent company of CBS, fired Stephen Colbert. Disney Corp, the parent company of ABC, attempted to hide their ownership of several companies, including Nexstar, fired Jimmy Kimmel. The only crime committed by either late night host was speaking truth to power about your corrupt and incompetent president. They were exercising their First Amendment rights without malice, or slander. Their weapon was humor, and Trump is incapable of self-deprecation, or any other form of laughing at his expense. Let’s go back to January 20, 2025. [Partway through his second presidential inaugural address, Donald Trump boasted, “After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I also will sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart This is a story the mainstream media refused to report. Remember, the owners of television “news” are all billionaires and are loyal to Trump. This article is focused on the pandemic, and how your illegitimate president failed to lead our nation in a time of crisis, which was his number one responsibility. Fact: Trump refuses to read. He assigned an aide to read the Presidents Daily Brief. In December of 2019, information contained in the PDB revealed facts about a healthcare emergency. A deadly pandemic was expected to reach America in the coming months. Healthcare professionals offered their concern that this could become a pandemic affecting the American people, threatening the lives of thousands of men, women, and children. Trump ignored the information. Why? He had no idea what action he should take to protect the American people. When the press became aware of how quickly the coronavirus was spreading across Asia and was now affecting Europe, Trump was que...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When Trump is not wasting taxpayer money chasing a little white ball through grass and sand, or partying at his garish Mar-a-Lago millionaire’s playpen, he spends his time in the Oval Office attempting to take revenge on anyone who resists his vile efforts to destroy America, knowing that they possess far superior abilities and intellect than himself. His latest act of pure childishness took place this week when he removed Secret Service protection for the second woman to defeat him in a presidential election: Kamala Harris. Trump’s lifelong affliction with malignant narcissism prevents him from accepting the fact that two women, Vice-President Harris and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, defeated him easily. Only interference from Vladimir Putin’s hackers allowed him to defile our White House. Don’t worry. The California Highway Patrol has been assigned to safeguard Ms. Harris and her family. The truth is, they will probably do a better job. You might rememb...

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 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 ...
