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 It has become personal. I trusted in the thousands of respected economists who warned us about the idiocy and probable collapse of our nation’s economy if Trump refused to listen and placed tariffs on nearly every nation in the world. Yesterday my wife and I experienced additional proof that your illegitimate president is mentally challenged and is now a complete moron. Our grocery bills have risen since last January. Yesterday my bride picked up a prescription, one she has taken for several years. The last time she had it refilled, the cost was about $50.00. Yesterday, it was over $100.00. The fact that Trump continues to have a single supporter worries me. Has the average intelligence of our nation dropped far below the norm? Has common sense become a thing of the past? Trump has never possessed an intellect which I would describe as “average.” However, as he nears the age of 80, when most men are wise enough to stay home and keep their opinions to themselves,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart “I will end inflation on day one.” “I will negotiate peace in Ukraine on day one.” “I have a better healthcare plan than Obamacare.” “Tariffs with grow our economy.” These are just a few of Trump’s campaign promises in 2024. He never intended to keep any of those promises: they were nothing more than blatant lies. He would never end “Greedflation.” That would upset his 902 oligarchs. Only Putin can end the invasion of Ukraine, and that will only happen when his ambitions become reality. Trump and his party claimed to have a healthcare plan 10 years ago. It does not exist today. On this day, the American people are beginning to experience higher prices on nearly every necessity and discretionary commodity they purchase. Tariffs were a very bad idea in 1930, making the depression worse, and they are a destructive policy today. Free trade always increases the quality of life for everyone in the world. Trump’s only idea of a great economy is how much he can steal fr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It was 2016 during one of Trump’s infamous hate rallies. The orange buffoon was enjoying the attention from an ignorant group of white men and women who gleefully believed his many lies. However, when he said, “You’ll be winning so much, you’ll become tired and say, ‘please stop, please stop,’” I laughed out loud I laughed because I knew his history: Donald Trump’s life is the tale of a loser. He lost more than 400 million dollars, given to him by his father to begin his real estate business, in less than a year. His Atlantic City casinos lost money, which is nearly impossible. He almost declared bankruptcy twice, but was bailed out by Russian oligarchs and then by the Saudi Royal Family. Although the records have been sealed, some classmates claim that a young Trump was failing his classes at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business College, but daddy literally bought his diploma. Today he lost another of many civil appeals to a judge overseeing his “h...
