Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are many reasons why no one should have voted for Trump in either of his two rigged elections, and not a single one why they should have. There is one unspoken reason why it made no sense to allow the least qualified man in history to wear a title he never wanted: President of the United States of America. Trump was born into an atmosphere of extreme, white privilege. Not only was his family racist, they were very wealthy. Nothing has changed over the last 79 years. He has never worked for a living, or shown concern for anyone else other than himself. He has never known or cared about the struggles of the average American. He is only aware of how he and his father’s family had everything they wanted without having to work for it. In 2024, the richest man in the world, Elon Musk became his biggest supporter, financially and appearing with him at his hate rallies. Musk, like Trump, was raised into a white supremacist family, but in South Africa. They called ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Clearly, Trump is suffering from dementia and the natural effects of being a man far too old to lead a nation of 340 million people, with an average age of 38.5 year of age. He became 79 years old on June 15, older than President Biden was on January 20, 2021. Today, while the rest of America was celebrating “Independence Day,” Trump was busy signing his “big, beautiful bill,” a bill which is widely opposed by most of our nation’s people. For four years fake Republicans and its propaganda machine, Fox News, attacked Mr. Biden for being an older American, not that he was an incompetent president.

Like all legislation under Trump’s failed leadership, his tax and spend bill will harm the majority, and allow his 813 oligarchs to place more of their outrageous profits in offshore accounts. Trump’s mental demise allowed him to view the situation differently. [On Friday, bef...

Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
