Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart By my estimate, Trump has received between 600 million, and one billion dollars in bribes over just 10 months. From a 747-400 to gold bars, a gold crown, gold golf clubs, and god knows what else, he continues to use his illegitimate presidency as an opportunity to increase his personal wealth. But he never keeps his promises. There are laws to prevent this form of extreme corruption, but no one in Washington cares. What this confirms is another of many reasons for impeachment. The ‘Don’ of the Washington Mafia is increasing his bank account while the average American struggles. A couple of days ago, Trump ordered a ‘state dinner’ for one of his benefactors, who is also one of America’s greatest enemies, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman. This man has killed thousands of innocent men, women, and children in Yemen alone. However, he is most infamous for the murder of a journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. He ordered his death and had him cut into piece...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I just labeled Trump with multiple adjectives which are demeaning and degrading. However, because they are all based on facts: facts he, himself, offered by his own actions and speech: they are not unfair or undeserved. I cannot compete with Trump when the situation involves name-calling, although most of his are simply silly and laughable. However, anyone who disagrees with the schoolyard bully is sure to receive a “nickname.” His “nicknames” are not clever, because he is not ‘clever.’ We all remember “Crooked Hillary,” “Sleepy Joe,” and “Little Marco.” The mental health community reveals the reasons an individual feels he or she has no other recourse than name-calling to defend his or herself. [Insecurity and envy: If we don't believe we measure up to our peers, we may redirect and express this discontentment by directing it toward others in the form of hatred or animosity. In psychology, this masking of our true feelings of insecurity is known as displace...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart From the “Access Hollywood” tapes, we learned that Donnie Trump was a sexual predator. During the 2016 campaign, Christopher Steele revealed his level of sexual deviance. Now, the Epstein files confirmed our suspicions that Trump was more depraved than we believed and is without a doubt a pedophile. The facts prove that Trump’s most ardent supporters don’t care. They share many of his personal beliefs and are willing to ignore his most grievous actions against humanity. The men and women who hate my America once again have a powerful leader defiling the people’s White House. I have known for more than 10 years that Trump is a serial philanderer, and a sexual predator. I should have known that these crimes were only a small example of the evils committed by the worst man in the world. If he never sought the presidency, we might have never known the “real Donald Trump.” Donald John Trump is not only unfit to be an American president, he cannot be included in the r...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Conspiracy theories are harmful and bullshit. However, facts expose the real villains in any story, and are the primary factors which eventually save mankind from the worst monsters in the world.. Earlier this year, America’s two greatest enemies met in Alaska. There was no legitimate reason for the meeting, although it was organized under the pretense of ending the invasion of Ukraine. What it was is clear: an opportunity to meet face to face and finalize their plans to take control of the entire world. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin displayed the extent of their relationship on the tarmac. Two thirds of the men who are enemies of more than 8.2 billion people are experiencing success in their plan for world domination. This week, Trump met with the third villain who is critical for the completion of their ambitions: Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman, in the Oval Office. These three evil and heartless men have many common goals and emotions, which...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart If you don’t read and understand America’s history, the good and the bad, you cannot claim to be an informed citizen. The past should be our greatest teacher. If we don’t know about what came before, we are destined to make the same mistakes over and over again.. The period in America known as the “Gilded Age” occurred from about 1877 until 1900. It was a time of extreme decadence, greed, debauchery, unbridled racism, and just about any other fault weak human beings might envy. The super-rich used their wealth to buy politicians, law enforcement, and anyone else who might assist them in their efforts to increase their hidden bank accounts. It was America’s first plutocracy. Under Fuhrer Donald Trump, the United States is engaged in a second plutocracy/oligarchy: a second ‘Gilded Age.’ I admit to the fact that I didn’t realize this fact until Trump destroyed a huge portion of the people’s White House to build an edifice to himself he calls a ‘ballroom.’ Long befo...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart We all know about Trump’s private life. He enjoyed his life in New York’s privileged society. In public, he appeared to be a successful billionaire, enjoying all of its pleasures, Most importantly, only a few investigative journalists knew the extent of his sexual deviance. Few knew about his huge number of adulterous actions, sexual assaults or his surely to be confirmed, pedophilia. However, when he declared his intention to become your president in 2015, he was exposed as the leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement whose life was filled with crime and debauchery. A similar situation now exists for Elon Musk. He was the richest man in the world. His primary company, Tesla, was a huge success. His involvement in America’s space program made him billions of dollars each year. He hid from us his failures, and the fact that he is a devoted Nazi. When he became involved in Trump’s 2024 campaign, we learned about the real Elon Musk. It was immediately clear that he ha...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Now everyone knows: Trump is a pedophile. Most of us who spend much of our day researching information so that you may be informed have known about his sexual deviance for at least 10 years. In 2016, just two months before the election, in a tape released by Access Hollywood, Trump admitted that he was a sexual deviant. His own words revealed his opinions about all women. He openly admitted that he believes women have only one purpose. He committed adultery multiple times while married to three wives. Over a period of about 15 years, he spent most of his time with his “bestie,” Jeffrey Epstein. It is no longer a secret that he made multiple trips to Epstein’s private island on his private jet. There are videos of the two degenerates partying at Mar-a-Lago. Although the mainstream media hides the information to protect their Fuhrer, there are records of when one 12-year-old girl filed a rape complaint against your illegitimate president. It was dropped and settle...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart There are at least two Americas. One is composed of about 95 percent of citizens who work hard to make better lives for themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. My America is grateful for its diversity. We are a nation of immigrants. We are not perfect, but most try to be. We never ask for much, and we usually get less. The other America is occupied by men and women who came into great wealth at birth. Some obtained great wealth when offered “once in a lifetime opportunities” not available to the majority. As a small child, I never knew that I was poor. I remember my childhood as “great.” I didn’t have money in my pockets, I had “treasures” which were worth little or nothing but had meaning for me. I look back on my younger years and have mostly fond memories, although I understood the struggle my mother faced every day, worrying that her children might not have enough to eat. We always did, somehow. Trump and his oligarchs never faced “worry.” Their...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Change is mostly good, as long as it moves a nation forward and increases the quality of life for all people. However, Trump and his administration are regressive, and what they are doing to America is criminal and in direct opposition to the intent of the Constitution. As you well know, I constantly criticize Trump, and make jokes about him. The truth is, he deserves it. He was a terrible man in 2016, but in 2025, he has become the worst person on the planet. I consider myself a patriot, strongly believing in the words of satirist and comedian, Mark Twain. "Loyalty to the country always. Loyalty to the government when it deserves it". Over the last 45 years, it has been rare for our government to receive any praise for its actions, and has become deserving of its condemnation for its failure to do the right thing. As I child in the 1950’s and 1960’s, I imagined our government as a group of men who spent their days attempting to find ways to improve ou...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You must remember the facts. President Biden’s stimulus checks rescued thousands of jobs and hundreds of small businesses, as well as our nation’s future economy from the constant failures of Donald John Trump.   Now, in 2025, I have no doubt that Trump would have preferred to extend the longest government shutdown in history until January 20, 2029. He is desperate to prevent the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s personal files. However, when Congress is fully in session, the pressure to release these documents will increase once again. Personally, I do not need additional proof that Trump must add “pedophile” to his list of vile and depraved “accomplishments.” Best friends for years, traveled on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times, seen partying together at Mar-a-Lago with multiple young women, and these two old, lechers as the only male guests, and an allegation by a 12-year-old girl that Trump raped her, all confirm what I already knew from my years of ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has pardoned some of the greatest criminals in modern history. Why not? The Supreme Court pardoned the orange buffoon for acts of treason on January 6, 2021, and violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021. One important fact is confirmed by his dangerous actions: Trump’s administration is indeed the Washington Mafia 2.0. I know that history will remember January 6, 2021 as the darkest day in American history. A sitting president spoke to his Nazi supporters just outside of the White House. He ordered them to march to the Capitol Building and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. The insurrection had been planned and organized over several weeks during meetings at the Willard Hotel. The events which followed resulted in a violent invasion on Capitol Hill as Trump’s mob searched the Capitol for Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. Their orders were to hang them just outside of the Building. However, that was a minor offense compared to the fa...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is an irrefutable fact that Trump is the Definition of the mental disease, malignant narcissism. When he receives undeserved praise and worship from his cult, and his ego is satisfied, the old man is less likely to slip into one of his infamous fits filled with rage and violence. Ten years of studying the worst man in the world has convinced me that with his position as your illegitimate president, one man’s huge ego is in complete control of our planet’s future. 10 months into his second controversial presidency, he has once again accomplished nothing of value. He gave additional tax cuts to his 902 oligarchs, continues to take revenge on his enemies, and is currently destroying our nation’s most sacred building, the people’s White House. Trump’s little brain is fragile. It is very apparent that he not only suffers from malignant narcissism, he is in the middle stages of dementia. This makes him an even greater danger to the safety of the world. My question ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It doesn’t take a genius to look at Trump’s cabinet and closest advisers and realize that not one of these men and women are qualified to hold a position in our federal government. Among this group of incompetents are at least seven billionaires, at least one radical dangerous to our nation’s overall health, failed politicians, the wife of a professional wrestling promoter who taught him how to fake an attempted assassination. Your illegitimate president and vice-president are completely unfit to hold office at any level of government. They are the original “dumb and dumber.” Let’s be honest: America was founded on altruistic ideals and principles. However, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Monroe, Madison, and the others, underestimated the power of certain vices and the weakness of mankind, most significantly a desire for power and great wealth. Trump’s second administration is 100 times worse than the first. Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin, full...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Here’s the latest from the biggest liar in world history. Trump says that he will authorize $2,000.00 checks to all working-class Americans. However, one of his top aides reports the facts, the truth. You and I will not receive “checks.” His form of aid for the majority. His “gift,” will be in the form of “tax breaks.” He knows that one-half of all Americans pay little or no taxes. We are in the “low-income,” or “poverty” brackets in our nation’s economy. We will continue to struggle every time we go to the grocery store. Trump lies and brags about everything, which is nothing. The problem for him is the fact that everything he “accomplishes” harms the majority and increases the outrageous wealth of his oligarchs. Want proof? Look at Trump’s reason for his “gift.” [Donald Trump has vowed to pay a $2,000 (£1,520) “tariff dividend” to American households in a radical stimulus package that could trigger a stock market boom.] Only the wealthiest Americans are heavil...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The word is “tariffs.” Few people understand them, and the definition is incomplete. “A tariff is a form of tax imposed on imported goods or services. Tariffs are a common element in international trade The primary reasons for imposing tariffs include (1) the reduction in the importation of goods and services by increasing their prices and (2) the protection of domestic producers.” The last time a President of the United States applied tariffs to all imported commodities was after the Stock Market crashed, and the economy nosedived and the Great Depression began in 1930. Herbert Hoover was warned about the dangers of such a drastic decision, but he refused to listen to more than 1,000 respected economists. As expected, Hoover’s actions negatively affected the world’s economy. Trump inherited an economy in full recovery. Biden was the most successful president since Bill Clinton with the establishment of a fiscal policy which proves to be beneficial for everyone....

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump wants us to hate him. This is the only thing he has accomplished in his 79 years. If you have ever seen pictures of his residence in Trump Tower, New York, certain facts, some understanding about the “real Donald Trump,” are immediately apparent. His home is a garish display revealing his desire to be a “king,” or another form of autocratic despot. The atmosphere is cold and void of warmth or charm, offering a simple message: “you are not welcome here.” The overall feeling is discomfort. Trump is breaking the law as he attempts to remake our White House in his image. It is tasteless and another effort to destroy our nation’s history and traditions. With Trump in the White House, I am ashamed of my country. What Trump is doing to the “People’s Home” is only comparable to what the British did on August 24, 1814, during the War of 1812, when they burned it to the ground. He is a greater enemy to the spirit of our nation than anyone or anything else in history...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s personal beliefs: white supremacy, fascism, the repeal of the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendments, and rule by the super-rich. What he does not believe: freedom and justice for all, due process, tradition, history, the rule of law, complete equality for all, diversity, inclusion, free thought, doing the right thing, and the New Testament of the Bible. Trump’s fascist administration, whose only “gods” are power and great wealth, consistently brag about ‘protecting religious freedom.’ Their actions prove that this only applies to Christian extremism, and their support for the  Old Testament: a collection of fairy tales and fables . They reject your right to practice the Religion of Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or any other faith not controlled by priests, ministers, pastors, and most significantly Evangelical leaders.    Their leader, Dictator Donny Trump, has never been a “Christian.” During the 2016 campaign season, he offered t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It is no secret that Trump’s lifelong idol is Adolf Hitler. Your illegitimate president is attempting to mimic his Fuhrer in every way. He has become a tyrannical dictator; ignores the needs and wishes of his own people, is engaged in ethnic cleansing, and lies every time he opens his piehole. After Tuesday’s enormous losses: a virtual mandate by the American people: he should follow his hero’s example and take his own life, or simply place himself in exile to the country he actually loves; Russia. However, Trump is too cowardly and too self-centered to do the right thing. Nothing would please real Americans more than to never hear the name Trump again. For more than 10 years, when I turn on my computer every morning, I see his name everywhere. I don’t read anything he has to say, because he never has anything of importance coming from his lying lips. e     When the votes were counted on Tuesday, Trump’s greatest fear became reality. Zohran Mamdani will...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart You do not need to read the news to know what Trump’s reaction will be to the November 4, 2025 elections. No old man in the world is more predictable than Donald John Trump. His own words: “I have never done anything wrong,” speaks volumes. “A man who refuses to learn from his own mistakes is a fool.” No elementary school teacher, high school teacher, or college professor is a better teacher than the past, including our own actions and words we may regret. World War II was a joint effort by nations who believed in democracy and basic human rights and freedoms to defeat the ambitions of a tyrannical and vicious madman seeking world domination. In 2025, the old, obese, mentally deranged man defiling our White House is closely following his own fascist manifesto, Project 2025. Trump has physically destroyed a huge part of the home he has been privileged to occupy until January 20, 2029. A very old man who lives in the past, who has no “taste” and no respect for our...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I will never forget driving by the polls in 2020’s early voting days. The parking lots were full, and cars lined the side streets. I had already voted by mail, but I wanted to see how many people shared my displeasure with the worst president in history. Yesterday, November 4, 2025, was not a general election day, nor a midterm. However, gubernatorial races and the selection of the Mayor of the most important city in the world spoke volumes about how intent real Americans are about taking their country back from Donny Dictator. Trump’s name was not on any ballot in any state yesterday. However, as it was in 2020, any vote against a candidate supported or endorsed by Trump, was a vote against the worst man in the world. Yesterday was also a repeat of 2020. Trump candidates were crushed in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City. Less “hot button” races and issues followed this pattern across our nation. You can expect Trump and his Nazi Party to repeat the “big l...
