Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am in a good mood today. The men and women on the right side of the aisle who call themselves “Republicans,” have a serious problem, a conundrum. If they continue to support Trump’s destructive and unconstitutional policies, they will lose the one thing most important to them: winning elections.   With his approval rating in the 20’s, Trump has become an albatross. He announced yesterday that he would be campaigning for members of his party who are in close contests in November. But they don’t want him. Trump is the most hated public figure in modern history. He’s worked hard to earn that label. FAILED POLICIES, AND VERY BAD CHOICES Trump has been following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025, since January 20, 2025. Fascism is not popular among real Americans, and his economic policy is causing enormous harm to the working class, whose quality of life is in steep decline. It is highly likely that his illegal and immoral war against Iran was the fatal ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that Trump was the least qualified presidential candidate in our nation’s history, and probably throughout the entire world. However, his incompetence began at a very early age and is at the core of his 80 years of pretending to be a minimally capable human being. I OFFER YOU A SMALL LIST OF SITUATIONS IN WHICH TRUMP FAILED TO DISPLAY EVEN A MODICUM OF COMMON SENSE Attempting to rename the Gulf of Mexico with the Gulf of America. How dumb is he? He’s so dumb he actually believes that our country controls the entire world. Now he plans to do the same with Lake Ontario. When Trump unilaterally decided to attack the Muslim nation of Iran, he failed to consider the cost. His waste of about 75 billion dollars is only surpassed by the unnecessary loss of 18 American lives, and dozens of injuries. Trump ignores historical fact. After the beginning of the Great Depression, the Hoover administration attempted to resolve the economic breakdown by placing t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart What do you get when you put together a mentally challenged, obese, old man, his criminal protégé, and a group of toy soldiers? Another lost war in the Middle East. There’s a lesson in this story for all the uninformed men and women who continue to support the worst man in the world, Donald John Trump. What is happening to our country today is the result of choosing a wealthy, wannabe playboy to lead the most diverse and complicated nation in the world. I could have titled this story, “The Fat Man, his Brother from Another Mother, and Their Toy Soldiers.” Whatever Trump claims he is accomplishing by unilaterally choosing to wage a deadly war against Iran is a lie. The truth: Trump is the biggest loser in America’s history. He has failed at everything he attempted to accomplish. With Pete “Dumbass” Hegseth carrying out his orders, and our incompetent military brass in the Pentagon, America has lost its fifth war since WWII, and its third in the Middle East. Not o...

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 It should have happened in 4, but the New York Knicks were forced to travel to San Antonio to win the NBA World Championship in 5 games. The biggest loser and jinx in world history attended game three in Madison Square Garden, giving the Spurs their only victory in the series. At least that’s the way Knick’s fans saw it. When Trump arrived at MSG, he was booed and cursed by the huge crowd. It began during the National Anthem and continued until the orange buffoon sat down in the owner’s box: he was in need of a nap. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE EXPECT AND DESERVE A PRESIDENT WHO IS WORTHY OF OUR RESPECT AND TRUST, NOT DONALD JOHN TRUMP Trump has pretended to be your president for five years and nearly six months. He has failed to accomplish a single positive action for the America people. His focus continues to be personal, taking revenge on his enemies and redirecting the people’s focus from his long and close relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The many challe...

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 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...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has finally accomplished something, but not for the American people. In just over one year, Trump and his family have increased their personal wealth by about $1.4 billion. Trump continues to violate the Emoluments Clause with the use of his position as your illegitimate president. This number is near the amount he profited between 2017 and 2021 of $1.7 billion. Trump has been licensing his name in multiple foreign nations. This is a direct violation of the Emoluments Clause and punishable by impeachment for a record third time. The orange buffoon has finally learned something about pretending to be your president: how to commit more crimes he hoped no one would discover. 47 WAYS TRUMP HAS MADE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR MOST AMERICANS WORSE I won’t list them all: you can read them in the article I will refer at the end of my own. However, while Trump is stuffing his Gucci wallet with more illegal funds, most Americans are struggling more than ever before in ...

39  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart        The numbers I am going to give you may sound ludicrous and unbelievable. However, I want you to understand that they come from the GAO and other federal accounting offices. You may think that when I talk about “taxpayer money,” I am referring to income tax. This is far from the truth. We all pay federal taxes on gasoline, tobacco, alcohol, and airline tickets. These are known as excise taxes. Trump is using your money for his personal benefit while destroying our nation’s floundering economy. 3 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY DAY The national debt has been rising steadily under Trump’s failed fiscal policy. It was about 36 trillion dollars in January of 2025, and is now nearing 39 trillion. It is also interesting that over that same period of time, the number of oligarchs in America has risen from 902 to 989. I ask: has your income increased dramatically over that time? Accounting for Greedflation and the effects of Trump’...

Op-ed-by TheWiseOldFart The Emoluments Clause is an effort to prevent a sitting President of the United States from profiting from his or her position financially. It is primarily focused on the man in the White House doing business with foreign nations and giving their leaders access to our nation’s pretender-in-chief. Trump violates this clause every day, as he did between 2017 and 2021. During his first four years as your illegitimate president, he made a profit of 1.7 billion dollars. FOR TRUMP, IT’S ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY In 2026, he has a new scam. [Washington, D.C. (November 25, 2025)—Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released a new staff report revealing how President Donald Trump and his family have transformed the presidency into a personal money-making operation, adding billions of dollars to his net worth through cryptocurrency schemes entangled with foreign governments, corporate allies, and criminal actors.] Are you surprised? Trump is ac...

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 Is it a war, or not a war? More importantly, is it Trump’s war or America’s war? Nowhere in American law is there a definition of “war.” However, the invasion of Iran can be defined, and to the average American, Trump’s unilateral decision to invade Iran was a declaration of war. Republicans on Capitol Hill refuse to call his decision an act of war. If it is a war, Trump must be impeached. This is a clear violation of the Constitution which reserves the right to declare war to Congress. If it isn’t a war, and Trump is wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, he must repay all 340 million Americans for his singular decision to attack a sovereign nation without provocation. It appears that the American people could take part in the biggest class action lawsuit in history. TRUMP MUST PAY FOR HIS BAD DECISIONS, DECISIONS WHICh ADVERSELY AFFECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE For the American people, inflation, or “Greedflation,” is escalating rapidly. Ga...

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 The life of a human being is short. It is important that we live each day to its fullest. When we lose our earthly bonds, all that remains are those who remember us, and hopefully a few accomplishments to remind our loved ones of a life worth living. The saddest thing I can imagine is being alive for 60, 70, 80 or 90 years, leaving the living behind, and having done nothing of value for which we will be remembered. ONE MAN’S PITIFUL LIFE STORY This is the story of one such man. He had opportunities to accomplish great things, but chose to waste his life seeking personal pleasure and power over others. Donald John Trump was born into a life of great wealth and extreme white privilege. From birth until he received more than 400 million dollars from his father and began his own life in the world of New York real estate, he was given anything he wanted. He was never required to work for his desires. In just a few years, he lost everything. He was never happy with su...

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...
