Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump is a disaster for all 340 million Americans. If you are supportive of his “America,” you are one of nation’s 22 million millionaires or 989 billionaires. The rest of us live in his version of hell. First of all, whoever created the term, “the golden years,” was full of shit. You have to be mentally tough to survive beyond the age of 75. Personally, the only part of “me” which has not begun to rapidly deteriorate is my mind. I’m thankful for that. However, I can’t stand or walk, my eyesight becomes worse every day, I have become clumsy, and all of this combined is the reason I occasionally act like an angry, feeble old man. This is America, and one issue above all makes life extremely difficult for me and my incredible bride of 31 years: we are expected to survive on a meager, fixed income. The value of all individuals in America is judged by their income, the money they have in their bank accounts, and nothing else. The national motto has become “pr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Of course, my title’s question is facetious. Trump has never done anything for anyone else in his life. Afflicted with malignant narcissism, he is incapable of having normal feelings of empathy and compassion. Trump has proven one thing over his 79 pitiful and useless years on earth, he has a narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire. Every human being asks his or herself one question, multiple times in their lives: “what if I had taken the left fork in the road instead of the right?” As a political writer, having written thousands of articles exposing the “real Donald Trump,” I look back at the 2000 election, the 2016 election and the 2024 debacle. I begin with the 2000 election. Some of you may be too young to remember the contest between Clinton’s Vice-President, Al Gore, ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump are responsible for the demise of the Party of Lincoln. Those who call themselves “Republicans” today are imposters. They have no resemblance to their predecessors. Ten years ago they surrendered their integrity, principles, and morals to Putin’s puppet. They are more appropriately called the “American Nazi Party” in 2025. After years of research, reading and re-reading the history of America’s 249 years, I am positive that Reagan, Bush, and Trump are the three worst presidents in America’s 249-year history. Their actions, demands, and policies forced the demise of the once Grand Old Party. These three old, white men ignored the needs and wishes of the majority of our nation’s people, choosing to serve our country’s wealthiest men and women: billionaires/oligarchs. Reagan, Bush, and Trump share many qualities, none of them positive, progressive, or relevant to making America a great country. All three wannabe dicta...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   He has never had anything of value or substance to say. He complains, attacks those who expose him, but has never offered anything positive for our nation. Trump is clearly illiterate, poorly educated, and embarrasses himself every time he opens his pie hole. Fox “News” has proven that it is far from a legitimate news agency by supporting a single candidate and a single party. However, this right-wing propaganda machine is a perfect fit for the orange fool. Like their demagogue, they have never offered anything of value to the American people in 28 years. When they do report a legitimate news story, its about a rich white child who was allowed to attend a party in a foreign nation and went missing. The Natalie Holloway story was on their pitiful broadcast incessantly for more than a year. However, during that time period, dozens of black children went missing and not a single word about any of them. It is an undeniable fact that when Trump speaks he is lyi...
