The Saga of the Drumpf Family   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You all know it, although I would never brag about it, but I am nine months away from being an octogenarian. Trump is just eight months closer to being way too old to hold any office in any government in the world. Trump’s life experience is far different from my own, and for that, I am grateful. He was born into a life of extreme white privilege and great wealth. I, too, was born into an atmosphere of white privilege, but we were poor and never knew it. However, my life’s path experienced many changes: changes which made me the man I think I am today. Trump’s life never changed. He is the same person today that he was on June 14, 1946. He never learned how to be a good and respected man. He remains a spoiled, rich, white brat who has to have everything his way. His parents really sucked at raising him. This is one of the primary reasons Trump loves his personal Gestapo, ICE. They are nothing like the men and women I knew in l...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart God, if there is one, must have a tremendous and somewhat cruel sense of humor. He gave mankind strength, resilience, and in some, great intelligence and wisdom. However, with the exception of a handful of the rarest of individuals, He also placed great weakness in every human being, which is usually triggered by often meaningless and baseless words. Politicians and the mainstream media control their supporters with the use of carefully chosen words and phrases. Throughout the history of the world, tyrannical leaders used words to inspire loyalty and incite violence on their behalf. Love and hate, trust and fear, anger and understanding, apathy and compassion, war and peace, these opposites are frequently twisted in efforts to brainwash the uninformed. Let me digress for a moment. I don’t have heroes. I do have people and their ideas for whom I have great respect. I believe that the greatest lessons in life are the result of listening to wise men and women and a...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It has always been a term in flux. It changed with generations. However, there are some qualities consistent with “being a man.” Real men are capable of a wide range of emotions. They have complete control over those emotions, and refuse to be affected by the opinions of others. They know themselves and are always trying to be better. Your illegitimate president is not a ‘man.’ He is afflicted with a disease. Malignant narcissism: “Malignant narcissism is a psychological disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-worth, a need for admiration, and a disregard for others. Key characteristics of malignant narcissism include paranoia, feeling threatened or persecuted without proof, aggression, manipulation, and lack of remorse.” One more: “Malignant narcissism is a personality type that causes extreme narcissism, aggression, and, sometimes, abuse of others. A person may use manipulative means or violence to enhance their own sense of wellbeing.” Every ...

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 During the 2024 campaign, one of his biggest lies came when he was asked about Project 2025. As he always does, he lied, saying “I know nothing about it.” The truth is, every word, every idea in the 922-page fascist encyclopedia came from Trump’s own words during his many, boring, hate rallies. It is no secret: Trump’s primary ‘hero’ is Adolf Hitler. He studied the Fuhrer’s speeches every night before going to bed. There is no doubt that he is not an American president. Recently, these are a few of the plans contained in Project 2025. • launching a mass deportation program • purging civil servants and replacing them with partisan loyalists • defunding the Corporation for Public Broadcasting• reducing the Federal Emergency Management Agency's role in disaster response • eliminating federal "diversity, equity and inclusion" efforts • banning transgender troops in the military One of Hitler’s primary plans to establish complete control of Germany in t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Born in 1946, I loved growing up in my America. Unfortunately, living in Trump’s America, a man who has led a life of white privilege, filled with racism and bigotry, who is only three weeks older than me, not so much. Growing up in the 1950’s, I loved my country as. In high school, I learned that it wasn’t perfect, but I remained proud to be an American. I believed America would only get better. Things change, hopefully in a positive manner. However, nothing good has happened in our country over the last 10 years. Donald Trump’s America is dangerous, dark, and regressive. His country is a nation in which I do not want to live. At home, in school, and at church, I was taught to respect all people, and treat them with compassion, understanding, and acceptance. Trump has created a world filled with anger, hatred, and violence. This 79-year-old man must have been an angry and unhappy child. At 13 he was sent to a military boarding school only a few miles from his h...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump lied. But, that’s no surprise. If his piehole is open, he is lying. In 2016 he claimed that he had never met Vladimir Putin. The truth is that he has known the current Russian President since 1987. At the invitation of the KGB, a spy agency in which Putin held a high rank, Trump and first wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow. The events which occurred over those few days were not recorded. However, there can be no doubt that Putin and Trump engaged in conversation at least once. Trump’s second recorded visit to Moscow was in 2013. He traveled to the Russian capital under the guise of conducting the Miss Universe Pageant. However, a dossier compiled by former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, and never disproven, claims that it was during this visit that the two men confirmed their plans for the 2016 election. One unreported fact. In August of 2016, billionaire Robert Mercer, a longtime friend of Putin and his oligarchs, moved his money, Steve Bannon, and Kellyann...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Throughout his pitiful life, Trump suffers from a mental disease called Malignant Narcissism. Malignant Narcissism: “a severe personality construct characterized by a combination of narcissistic traits, antisocial behavior, paranoid tendencies, and a tendency toward sadism. It's not a formally recognized diagnosis in the DSM-5 but is used to describe a particularly destructive form of narcissism. Individuals with malignant narcissism exhibit a deep-seated sense of superiority, entitlement, and a lack of empathy, often leading to manipulative and exploitative behavior towards others.” To offer a simpler definition, Trump’s concerns are exclusively focused on himself and his need to satisfy an inflated ego. Consider these comments obtained from Trump during his many, lengthy, and boring speeches at his hate rallies. “I have never done anything wrong.” “I love spending other people’s money.” When asked about his relationship with Putin in 2016: “I never met the...

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 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 “What was in it for them? They’re all suckers and losers.” The former was a statement made to his aides when Trump was in France to honor the brave Americans who lost their lives in WWI. He did not attend the ceremony. It was confirmed in 2016 that Trump’s Daddy purchased deferments from a podiatrist preventing his useless son, who grew up in a wealthy family and extreme white privilege, from serving in the Vietnam War. The old, obese, fascist coward is honoring himself and his claim to the title of Commander-in-Chief with a costly and unnecessary military parade this weekend. Sunday just happens to be his birthday. Coincidence? I think not. Another of his endless lies claims that this act of a ruthless and heartless dictator is to honor the 250 th anniversary of the United States Army. It could have been planned for a more symbolic day, such as combining the event no real American will watch with our nation’s 249 th birthday on July 4 th . However, Trump is t...

Across America, on every day of the week, there are protests against Trump, Musk, and their American Fascist Party. Even the most uninformed citizens are beginning to see the real Donald Trump and his corrupt and treasonous party. All of the issues Kamala Harris attempted to warn the American people about, Trump and his plans for America’s future which have become a reality have been revealed. Trump is following his own fascist manifest, Project 2025 chapter by chapter. By the end of 2025, he will have completed all 922 pages. My only hope is that all men and women loyal to the principles and ideals of our Founding Fathers will rise up and save their dream. Op-ed by James Turnage If you follow my blog, you will be an informed American citizen   

I don’t know where to begin, but that’s not unusual when I write about the orange buffoon defiling our White House. Trump is not an American president, but that is just the beginning, He is not worthy of living in the United States of America. He is our nation’s biggest traitor, and his loyalty is to tyrannical dictators, not to the American people. The latest scandal from Dictator Trump is a ‘doosey.’ It involves another rules violation, an obvious bribe, extreme ignorance, ultimate hypocrisy, and a slap in the face to the people of Israel. The ruling family of Qatar is presenting the malignant narcissist with a gift worth more than $400,000,000. The 747-8 is the ultimate luxury aircraft. Trump claims that it will be used as Air Force One, and after he is once again evicted from the White House, it will become his personal property. Here’s where Trump offers irrefutable proof that he is an ignorant, obese, old man. It’s bad enough that Trump uses the current Air Force One for personal...

    I knew it in 2017; Donald Trump is a very sick man. He is mentally challenged similar to that of a serial killer. I studied his early years and realized that his parents had failed him. He was sent away to New York military boarding school at the formative age of 13. By his own actions and words, he is a man obsessed with a need for relevance, hatred for anyone he believes opposes his self-proclaimed “brilliance,” and hatred for anyone who criticizes him for his many crimes and a debilitating and escalating condition known as malignant narcissism. In 2017 the sick, old man was 71 years old. In about seven weeks he will be 79; soon to be an octogenarian. His mental faculties have clearly declined since his first inauguration to such a low level of competency he cannot be trusted to take a walk by himself. Sadly, the men and women who call themselves “Republicans” today lack the courage to do the right thing and join in applying the 25 th  Amendment to Trump and remove ...

Inside the most depressed person, there are memories of joy and happiness. The mind can easily be overcome by darkness and despair. However, the good remains but is easily subdued by the weakness of emotions which are very dark and very destructive. There is no doubt that emotions like anger, hatred, envy, revenge, and self-loathing take control when a man looks at himself in the mirror and sees insecurity, failure, and total incompetence. Over the years memories of past successes and joy, both small and large, become memories buried too deep to recall. Donald Trump is a man shaped by his own misdeeds, need for relevance, deep insecurity, and total disregard for others. He is the definition of an all-consuming disease. Malignant Narcissism : [Malignant narcissism is not a formal diagnosis, but instead a common term used to describe a person with traits and symptoms of both narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Also called pathological narci...

I have written hundreds of articles defining the real Donald Trump. It is an undeniable fact that he is a convicted felon, a traitor, a lifetime criminal, a sexual predator, and other horrible things. I decided that it was time to write about his flaws as a human being, if he is one. My research into Trump’s 78 years began when he was a 13-year-old teenager. His parents obviously didn’t want him in their home, so they sent him to a New York military boarding school. I learned little about his time spent in the institution because when he became your illegitimate president in 2016, he had all of his scholastic records sealed. I can only assume that they are very embarrassing, even for an old man who seldom displays emotions other than fear, anger, hatred, and inciting others to commit violence on his behalf. After father Fred paid for deferments which allowed Donny to avoid serving in Vietnam, he received a diploma from the University of Philadelphia’s Wharton College of Business. What ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Now it’s watches. Previously it was “non-fungible tokens,” posters, the ugliest tennis shoes in history, bibles, and copies of his mugshot. Trump is desperate for money, and would sell individual hairs from his wigs if he thought he could make a buck. The very fact that a presidential candidate is attempting to sell what can only be compared to worthless trinkets which can be won or purchased at a carnival would be an unacceptable embarrassment for a real man or woman. Trump’s desperation forces him to plunge deeper and deeper into an abyss from which he cannot recover. He is unfit to lead his own family, definitely not a nation of 330+ million people. I know what I have read contained in volumes about Trump’s pitiful 78 years on mother earth, but only family members have insight into the entire expanse of events and personal circumstances which compose nearly eight decades. One of these individuals is Trump’s estranged niece, Mary Trump. She recently offered in...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is very clear that Trump had no idea what it meant to be the President of the United States. He obviously believed that his job was similar to that of his idol, Vladimir Putin. He should have attended his military boarding school civics classes. On Sunday, an interview of Trump on FOX revealed his attitude about the attempted coup on January 6, 2021. He said that he had “every right” to halt the certification of the Electoral College vote and interfere in one of our most sacred democratic processes in America, the peaceful transition of power. How long before we are all required to click our heels together, raise our right arms in salute, and shout “Sieg Heil?” I know he doesn’t remember what he swore to on January 20, 2017, but I do. Trump obviously believes the Constitution should be shredded today, but on that day, he promised to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” He has become o...
