Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I say it again: if Trump’s piehole is open, he’s lying. He has never once in 79 years told the truth about anything. Today he is attempting to cover up his efforts to serve his 813 oligarchs with huge lies no one with common sense will believe. After Trump’s ill-advised tariffs begin to take effect, Trump’s administration released a press release. "WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE," the White House wrote in a post on X, along with an image of Dear Leader pumping his fist. "Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS, the U.S. has generated over $150B in tariff revenues within the past 6 months." Let’s break this down with some facts; reality about how tariffs will harm 340 million people while benefitting Trump and his 813 oligarchs. I begin with the obvious: the “golden age” is in our past. America is led by a regressive, old man and his fascist minions who are moving our nation into the “dark ages.” We, the people, will continue to suffer from the failures...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am aware that Trump is mentally challenged, and the reason why he is immature and childish, seeking revenge on his “enemies” instead of caring for 340 million people. Although he denies it, Trump is obsessed and desperate to end the discussion about his sordid relationship with our nation’s most infamous pedophile. Trump has tried every tactic he knows in feeble attempts to downplay his and Jeffrey Epstein’s extremely close relationship. Epstein called Trump his “best friend.” Common sense, combined with undeniable facts, confirm that Trump and Epstein partied together frequently. He traveled on Epstein’s private airplane on at least seven occasions, although he claims he never stepped foot on Epstein’s private island. If you believe that, you are too stupid to live by yourself or vote. Their “bromance” lasted for about 15 years, then it ended. Trump is making a laughable and unbelievable assertion that the reason it came to an end was because Epstein “stole s...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump promised to end the “war” in Ukraine on “Day One.” Six months and nine days later the invasion continues. During his golf excursion to Scotland a reporter asked him about his frequent trips to golf courses in America. His response was such a big lie, it made me laugh out loud. "We put out fires all over the world. We did one yesterday, as you know, we stopped a war, but we stopped about five wars,” Trump said, while standing on a golf green, Tuesday. “So that's ah, much more important than playing golf. As much as I like it, it's much more important." Although his official schedule has not been posted, on the rare occasion Trump was in the White House between 2017 and 2021 his “office hours” were between 11 in the morning and two or three in the afternoon. When he was in the Oval Office, he wasn’t. He was in an adjoining room watching television. The undeniable truth is Donald Trump has never worked a full day in his pitiful 79 years on t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Using an old term, few of you likely remember, Trump is a “cheapskate.” According to those around him, he has never left a tip for any service he received. We know he stole money from his own charity. The truth is, he has never done anything for another person unless it was mostly for his own benefit. The title of this article comes directly from the orange buffoon/con man. He told his supporters during the 2016 campaign that he is a user, an abuser, and a thief. Trump’s biggest thefts came while he was pretending to by your president between 2017 and 2021 and from January 20, 2025 until today. For four years Trump’s use of taxpayer funds for his personal pleasure averaged more than six million dollars each month. He made trips to his own golf courses at least 285 times. Nearly every weekend he was partying at Mar-a-Lago. He held his infamous hate rallies throughout his illegitimate presidency, averaging about two each month. For each of these excursions, the co...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I was one of millions of America’s children who was privileged to have grown up in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Our fathers, uncles, and in some situations mothers and aunts had defeated the fascist mob attempting to recreate the world in their vile and hate-filled image. I loved school. First grade was spent at St. Mark’s Elementary School in Venice, California. For the next seven years I attended St. Gerard Majella Elementary School in West Los Angeles. Across the nation patriotism was the primary emotion. Beginning in second grade we studied the origin of the United States of America. Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, and the rest were heroes because their dream created America, and because their lofty ideals were pure. Our country was envied by people all over the world. We learned about two world wars and how our fathers and grandfathers were eager to fight for their country and for citizens of other nations who were under siege by military forces controlled by me...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump says that he refused to accompany Epstein to his private island. If you believe that, you are dumber than your illegitimate president. Remember, Trump had his own airplane, why would he need “a ride” from his best friend? Trump is a prolific sexual predator, and a serial philanderer. It is unbelievable that he would refuse a change to sexually assault a beautiful underage woman. Even Epstein’s brother claimed that Jeffrey found Trump to be a “very sic k person.” Here’s your laugh for Monday. Trump claims that his reason for ending a long relationship with Epstein was because “he stole people who worked for me.” Really? I would bet my life that he cannot name one maid, waiter, valet parking attendant, or groundskeeper who ever worked for him at Mar-a-Lago. If he did lose a chef or someone of importance, that individual had a good reason for leaving Trump’s employ and was never “stolen.” I tired of Trump’s lies before the 2016 election. Not once in his life,...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart All “Republican” politicians are part of what makes America a far worse country than any other in the world. I have a long list of names which prove my allegation, but let me offer a few of the most obvious: Moscow Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Mike Johnson. None of these individuals care about you or me. Since 2017 they offered their loyalty to Trump and Vladimir Putin, ignoring the responsibilities they owe to the voters who made huge mistakes by surrendering to them their valuable votes: the only power average citizens possess. Yesterday a situation arose within the once Grand Old Party which proves that not a single man or woman on the right side of the aisle is worthy of occupying a seat in our federal government. Lindsey Graham has held a seat in the Senate since 2002. Normally, I would say that he “represented the people of South Carolina for the last 23 years.” However, in 2017, Graham abandoned his morals, integr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although it is true that Trump is, obese, suffering from mental and physical deficiencies, what is not is the definition of a ‘man.’ He possesses a single tactic as your illegitimate president. He attempts to bully his adversaries and leaders of other nations. Sadly, in several situations, he is succeeding. Universities, Law Firms, and Presidents, Prime Ministers, etc., are bowing to the schoolyard bully. The truth is defeating a bully requires little effort. All anyone must do is look in his eyes and say “no,” and “get the fuck out of my way.” Trump is a regressive, and those who look backwards are destined to fail. His entire six months and eight days as your illegitimate president have been focused on taking revenge against anyone who opposes his fascist agenda. “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” ― Confucius Trump, like he did in 2017-2021, will destroy himself, His malignant narcissism is far more powerful than what little mind he h...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Most of you are too young to remember my America: the country I loved and deserved my loyalty, respect, and trust. Sadly, that nation no longer exists, and I’m not sure if it will ever regain its position on the world’s stage. Humans are by far the weakest of all mammals. For the most part we are never happy with our personal situation. We want more, more, and more. We are also a lazy group. We look for someone else to do our work for us. John Adams: "Remember Democracy never lasts long". He further asserted that democracy "soon wastes exhausts and murders itself," and that "There never was a Democracy Yet, that did not commit suicide.” Abraham Lincoln: "if destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide" Abraham Lincoln: “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Fact: most of the world’s population is less involved in racism and bigotry than those who hate others for the color of their skin, their ethnicity, their choice of religion, their sex, their sexual orientation, or their economic status. However, at least 40 percent of all Americans support Trump’s position as the leader of the American Nazi Party. He began his war on the most vulnerable Americans on January 21, 2025. Trump and Elon Mush began firing men and women who need their jobs and were the only people in Washington who worked for a living. Hispanics are to Trump what the Jews were to Hitler. Trump ordered the illegal arrests and detainment of thousands of men, women, and children whose only crimes were seeking a better life like every immigrant before them who came to America. The truth you will neve hear on television is that Trump’s detainment, deportation, and the inhumane treatment they receive are in reality “ethnic cleansing.” Less than three ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I can’t stop talking about the Epstein story, and no one else can either, including Trump, his supporters and his propaganda machine, Fox News. I probably have a different reason for my interest in Trump’s lascivious past than most. I simply want justice. I want to see one professional politician be held accountable for his or her crimes. The current Deputy Attorney General is a man by the name of Todd Blanche. Few of you know him, unless you are like me and follow politics closely. Blanche was Trump’s personal attorney during what became a felony conviction in a New York court. It is clear that he has been charged by his Fuhrer to do everything possible to cover up his shared experiences with Jeffrey Epstein. Some of you know the name ‘Ghislaine Maxwell.’ She has many ‘labels,’ but the only accurate term is “procurer of young women for sexual gratification.” It was her job to recruit underage women for Epstein’s illicit sex parties in New York and on his ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before I begin, the truth. If hell freezes over, and President Obama was convicted of a crime related to the 2016 election, Trump’s Supreme Court has already given him immunity, although they intended their actions to exclusively benefit Trump. Okay, the facts. History proves that Barack Hussein Obama was not only the first Black President, he was the only President in modern history not to be accused of criminal actions, not investigated for an alleged scandal. Trump began his first full day in office in 2017 under investigation for multiple crimes against the American people and Constitutional violations. I’m not claiming that Obama was a perfect, or even a ‘great’ president, but he had my respect if not my trust. My complaints about him involve his lack of courage. There were several times when he could have informed the American people about corruption on the right side of aisle. However, he placed his party first, not the people of our country. One of those...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is always fair to ask any professional politician one question: “what have you done for me lately?” They make promises during their campaigns they never intend to keep, and must suffer the consequences of those lies. No one has accomplished less than Donald John Trump, and no one has made more promises he never intended to keep. In 2020, Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell broke rules they made in opposition to the intent of the Constitution, and completed stacking the Supreme Court with a  ‘super majority,’ six supporting the right-wing’s extremist policies and three performing their jobs as required by the Constitution; all women from ethnic backgrounds not considered “pure white,” in other words, “real Americans.” Trump sought reelection for two reasons, neither of which involves caring for 340 million people. First, he was desperate to remain a free, old man. His many crimes, including treason and violating the Espionage Act, were under scrutiny and faci...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart $270,000 per hour: that’s what it costs to operate Air Force One. More than $23,000,000: that is the amount of taxpayer money Trump spent using Air Force One for his personal pleasure in a little more than six months: lumbering around a golf course and partying at Mar-a-Lago. This does not include multiple additional expenses paid for by taxpayers. The total cost could reach $35,000,000. How much will he cost America over the next 42 months? Trump is in Scotland: not on our nation’s business, but promoting and playing golf at his latest acquisition, another golf course. If this is not a violation of the Emoluments Clause, my reading comprehension must be slipping. This is another reason why he must be impeached for the third time. Over the last six months, Trump fired hundreds of government workers, removed healthcare from tens of millions of needy Americans, and continues to ignore growing inflation, the war in Ukraine, and other critical issues faced by 340 mi...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s not news to me, and it shouldn’t be to you. Trump’s mental acuity is in steep decline. However, this is not the first time your illegitimate president has been diagnosed with a disease which affects his ability to perform the job for which he was illegitimately elected. In 2017, a letter signed by 27 reputable psychiatrists claimed that Trump was mentally unstable and unfit of the office of President of the United States. I found the definition for ‘malignant narcissist,’ and I was a little surprised. Trump IS the poster for this untreatable disease. I say ‘untreatable,’ because anyone afflicted with this problem will certainly refuse professional help. Malignant Narcissism: “a severe personality disorder characterized by a combination of narcissistic personality disorder traits, antisocial behavior, paranoia, and sadism. It is not officially recognized as a diagnosis in the DSM-5, but it is used to describe a particularly destructive form of narciss...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart One reason I no longer write for a print or online newspaper is their unwillingness to tell the full truth without exception. The mainstream media’s primary function is to keep its readers interested, which frequently prevents telling the whole truth in a single story. Virtually every for-profit news source follows Fox News’ lead and places advertising ahead of the truth and speaking ‘truth to power.’ Although Trump has begun a desperate and baseless attack on a real President, Barack Obama, the truth about a very close and disgusting relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein remains the number one story in America. Although you will never find the article in the archives today, I wrote a story about a 12-year-old girl who accused Trump of sexual assault more than ten years ago. However, because the story was described as “he said, she said,” Trump was never prosecuted. It is an undeniable fact that Trump is a sexual predator. His three “trophy wife ...

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 Historians will Remember Trump as many things: a fascist, incompetent, a destroyer of all things good, a sexual predator, a malignant narcissist, a failure in all things, a pathological liar, the most unqualified man in history to reside in the White House, and a convicted felon, a traitor, and a lifetime criminal. What he will never be known for is leadership. If you thought his ‘big lie’ about the 2020 election was as ridiculous a story as you ever heard in your life, Trump is making another attempt to redirect America’s intention from his sexual escapades with Jeffrey Epstein. It is no secret that Trump was, and probably is jealous of President Obama. His popularity was unmatched in the 21 st century, and he remains the only president in modern history not to face an investigation or a scandal. Trump has been under investigation since January of 2017. The fact that President Obama is a Black man is extremely upsetting to the Nazi in the White House. The atta...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you refuse to see the truth about the worst man in the world, from his own words and actions you know certain things about Donald Trump are very real and undeniable. First and foremost, Trump is the confirmed leader of the Neo-Nazi movement in America. Trump planned the January 6 insurrection with leaders of several Nazi groups in America. Project 2025 is a 922-page fascist manifesto composed directly from Trump’s long and self-serving rants during his many hate rallies. Secondly, Trump has zero respect for all women. Three wives have similar stories. During each marriage he had numerous affairs and an even larger number of sexual assaults. It is impossible not to believe Trump and his closest friend, Jeffrey Epstein, participated in parties where underage women were available for their pleasure. Trump is one of many old, white men who believe all women have a single purpose: to serve the needs of men. If you ever have an opportunity to visit Muir Woods in No...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump believes that all American are like his supporters: stupid. Am I the only writer who noticed that Trump has a tactic which is obvious, but ignored by the mainstream media? In 2016, he accused Hillary Clinton’s team of attempting to rig the election. Undeniable facts prove that Trump and Putin rigged the election. Trump incessantly called President Biden “Sleepy Joe,” referring to his age. However, it was Trump who fell asleep at his own criminal trial in New York repeatedly. On November 5, 2024, Trump became the oldest man ever elected to the presidency, and is displaying signs of dementia and physical decline. He does this every time the press or law enforcement moves closer to the truth that he is a lifetime criminal. Trump’s latest effort returns to the 2016 election. Irrefutable evidence links Trump and Putin, and alleges that they conspired to rig the election. Eric Prince, the leader of Blackwater, an organization of mercenaries for hire, and b...
