Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When I was very young, I believed the lies politicians continue to tell us today: “America is the greatest country in the world.” Our nation is young, and continues to have problems which must be addressed before anyone can consider that claim valid. The fact that not only the worst president in history won two ‘rigged’ elections, but also the worst man in the world, proves that our country is far from ever becoming a great and respected nation. Our government began its decline in 1981, and today is the worst and most corrupt in the world of developed nations. This situation began with Reagan and the destruction of the dream of our Founding Fathers was completed in 2017 with the inauguration of Donald John Trump. Stop pretending: you know what I know. Not a single person willing to tell the truth can find anything good to say about the obese 79-year-old man pretending to be your president. It is an undeniable fact that between 2017 and 2021 Trump committed crime...

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 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 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 ...

(I didn’t plan for this to be so long.)   Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Although the event’s beginning was two years earlier in Moscow, on June 16, 2015 an old, obese, failed and crooked businessman took the long ride down several escalators inside Trump Tower on 5 th Avenue in New York. He could have taken the elevator. However, he was and is afflicted with a mental disease called “malignant narcissism.” His greatest need, soothing an inflated ego, required him to make what he believed was a ‘grand entrance.’ The man with orange skin was about to announce his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016. Personally, I found the staged event comical. I knew a little about Donald John Trump, and his entire life was a caricature of a man in search of power and great wealth. He had never accomplished anything for another human being in his pitiful life. He celebrated his 69 th birthday on June 15, and the biggest joke should have been the fact that a 70-year-old...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart DOGE was another stupid idea which became a reality because an idiot is allowed to violate our nation’s White House. Trump claimed its purpose was to reduce the deficit by trillions of dollars. However, this idea failed. What actually happened made the United States a more dangerous place to live. Men and women who performed jobs necessary to ensure safety and security in America were reduced and dissolved. Domestic terrorism, the result of Trump and his fascist party’s failure to lessen gun violence in America, has been the greatest danger to the American people for a decade. Trump sanctioned DOGE’s firing of healthcare officials, research scientists, men and women who protected our people from government corruption, and those who kept our commercial airlines safe. I worked for a commercial airline for 10 years at LAX. Much of my days were spent in operations. My function was to ensure that every aircraft was supplied with the fuel it required, and the cargo an...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart After four years and six months of Trump as your illegitimate president, I thought it was time to evaluate Trump’s performance. I will list some of the duties, responsibilities, accomplishments, and failures between 2017 and 2021, and his first six months of 2025, and honestly and accurately rate them as “true,” or “false.” Trump kept his campaign promises. False. His most important promises were to end “Greedflation,” and negotiate peace between Putin and Ukraine. The price of necessities continues to grow, and Trump’s ill-advised tariffs will soon force them to rise even higher. The invasion of Ukraine continues. There is no reasonable end expected in the near future. Trump claimed that the Biden economy was a failure, and he would ‘turn it around’ immediately. False. His failed fiscal policy of trickle-down economics has already increased unemployment, and his “big, beautiful bill,” will remove healthcare from millions or our nation’s most vulnerable citizens...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Yes, it’s true. Director of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, fucked up in a major way. She is responsible for a number of deaths in the recent Texas flash floods. Failing to immediately order FEMA to respond resulted in the delay of rescue services which could have saved lives. However, if you are honest, this is no surprise. In fact it was expected. Not a single member of Trump’s administration, including the Fuhrer himself, is qualified for a position in government at any level. It begins with J.D. Vance. No one, including his fellow Republicans considered him Vice-Presidential material. He continues to prove they were right. Trump’s greatest failure is undoubtedly his Secretary of Defense. Pete Hegseth is a former Fox News personality. As the head of a military charity, he embezzled funds for his own purpose. He is an alcoholic, according to his work “friends,” and a sexual predator, according to his own mother. Next in line is Robert Kennedy. The facts prove ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Every man and woman who continues to call themselves “Republicans,” are fully aware that Trump is a disgusting old man who is without morals or principles. However, they are cowards and will never admit the truth, fearing that if they lose an election, they will be forced to find a real job. Fake Republicans are desperate to hide the truth because their future is completely aligned with their Fuhrer. Anyone who has delved into the Trump family is fully aware of two facts: they are a family of racists and bigots, and Donald Trump is a sexual predator. No man or woman with common sense could believe that 10-year relationship between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein did not include sexual relations with underage women. History reveals everything. Trump is a serial philanderer. Accusations from more than two dozen women of sexual assault are based on reality. His admissions of sexual impropriety on the Access Hollywood tapes remain undeniable. Trump’s entire life has been ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart With the 2016 election just weeks away, an Access Hollywood tape revealed the “real Donald Trump.” By his own words, Trump exposed himself as a sexual predator. All of the allegations by 25 women about sexual assault were undoubtedly based on facts. There was no longer any doubt that the old, obese, buffoon was a serial philanderer, having cheated on all three wives, including Melania. The never-ending story about Stormy Daniels was part of a felony conviction in a New York court of law. There is little doubt that Trump’s name is on Jeffrey Epstein’s list of frequent invitees to his underage girl’s sex parties. Sexual deviates stick together, and Trump and Epstein were ‘besties’ for 10 years. One story which has been hidden by the media involves Trump and his first wife, Ivana. During the divorce proceedings, on at least one occasion, Ivana accused her estranged husband of beating and raping her. She later withdrew the accusation after an acceptable monetary arr...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Kristi Noem got what she wanted, and she is in way over her head. The former Governor of South Dakota was awarded for her devotion to the worst illegitimate president in history when he appointed her his Director of Homeland Security, a position for which she has no experience, and no training. Her actions have already proven that she is totally incompetent. A report from the New York Times claims that Noem ignored nearly two-thirds of the distress calls coming from Texas related to the tragic flash floods which may have cost the lives of 300 men, women, and children. Noem replied with anger and denial. “It’s just false,” Noem said on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday. “It’s discouraging that during this time, when we have such a loss of life and so many people’s lives have turned upside down, that people are playing politics with this because the response time was immediate.” “ICE Barbie” doth protest too much. The facts are irrefutable. The Trump administration has ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Too old, and too immature to be your president. This is Donald John Trump. Although he promised to end inflation, better yet “Greedflation,” the soon-to-be octogenarian continues his efforts to enact vengeance on his “enemies.” This is his number one priority, not the future of 340 million Americans. His firing of hundreds of government employees had nothing to do with lowering the national debt. His “big beautiful bill” will add 10 trillion to the deficit. It was all about him. Many of those employees were charged with investigations related to Trump’s many felonies including treason and violating the Espionage Act. Now for a good laugh. Trump’s latest act of vengeance involves something he cannot do, but is too stupid and too senile to face reality. The orange buffoon wants to remove Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship. O’Donnell, who moved to Ireland after the 2024 election debacle, was born in New York. Trump has a habit of labeling others with names and descripti...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s much easier to ‘rig’ an election than you might think. In a world which continues to experience advances in technology at supersonic speed, the best men and women in this field are the true leaders of a military force which has the ability to dominate the entire planet. I believe that Vladimir Putin’s threat to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine is a smokescreen. It is no secret that Russian hackers are the best in the world. “I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”-Albert Einstein In the 21 st century, the world has changed but it cannot move as quickly as the advances in electronics and technology. I sincerely believe that WWIII has begun and the most frightening and powerful weapons are the minds of a select group of computer geniuses. Months after the 2016 election, our government finally admitted that Vladimir Putin interfered in our election in support of Donald Trump. However, our leaders lied ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In December of 2019, your illegitimate president was informed by an aide, whose responsibility it was to read the Presidents Daily Brief, that a “probable healthcare emergency was evolving in Asia.” Trump ignored the information. In January of 2020, when the press began to ask questions about a new coronavirus spreading across parts of the world, Trump’s response confirmed his lack of leadership. He stood before the television cameras and lied. “America is better prepared, and it will just go away.” That was his only response, “it will just go away,” until March when Americans began to lose their lives from the deadly effects of Covid-19. After a real President, Joe Biden, created a plan to distribute a life-saving vaccine, the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 exceeded one million. Healthcare experts claim that Trump’s failure to take immediate action in January of 2020 is responsible for at least 10 percent of those deaths. Trump became not only a white-coll...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When Trump declared his intention to win the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2015, I decided that I needed to know more about the New York businessman. Although most of his biography was public record, I wanted to know more about the man other than what I saw on television and read about in various publications. I knew that after he received his diploma from Wharton in 1968, he joined his father’s real estate business. Digging deeper, I discovered that what later became the “Trump Organization” was extremely racist. When Black men and women filled out rental applications for one of Fred Trump’s properties, the agent reviewing their applications was instructed to put a large, red “C” at the top of the application. Digging even deeper, it was Donald Trump who left a successful business outside of Manhattan and moved into the more glamorous and lucrative world he always dreamed about. I learned that he married first wife, Ivana, in 1977. They were div...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart The second worst president in American history was illegitimate. He was chosen by a corrupt, right-wing biased Supreme Court. We will never know what the results of the 2000 election would have been if the Florida recount had been completed. George W. Bush lacked the intelligence and experience to lead our country, and proved my assumptions that he would be the worst president in history: and remained so until 2017. Bush allowed Vice-President Dick Cheney to make decisions which affected our nation’s reputation, and the future of 330 million people. The devil himself sat on his left shoulder for eight years, whispering evil and destructive thoughts in his ear. If Bush had performed his duties, 9/11 might not have happened. However, he and Cheney went on vacation, although they had been warned about a probable attack on our nation, and the result was one of the darkest days in American history. As we all know, the end result was America’s involvement in two unwin...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is very busy. Number one priority is chasing a little, white ball through a field of grass. Number two is partying with his oligarchs at his trashy and garish resort, Mar-a-Lago. Third is accomplishing Vladimir Putin’s goal to destroy America. Fourth is taking revenge on the men and women whose job it was to expose his crimes and treasonous actions against his own country. Historical records prove that Trump failed to produce a single positive accomplishment, to take a single action focused on improving the lives of the American people between 2017 and 2021. To the contrary, Trump is directly responsible for about 100,000 lives lost when he failed to lead our nation in the fight against Covid-19. In 2025, Trump 2.0 is far worse. He is not only breaking every campaign promise, he is destroying every accomplishment made by his predecessors over the last 72 years, beginning with Dwight D. Eisenhower. His constitutional violations are too numerous to mention. ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a bully. Using the largest non-nuclear bombs ever made in the U.S. was the ultimate act of a coward who has others do his fighting for him. Of course, there was a cost to the American people when our military dropped 14 bombs on Iran’s nuclear facilities. At more than $5,000,000 each, the cost was greater than 100 million dollars. It’s true that the older a man gets, the more expensive his toys become. Although Trump and his woefully unqualified Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, claimed that Iran’s efforts to construct nuclear weapons was “obliterated,” experts report that the military of the United States once again failed to attain its goals. [Rafael Grossi, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said that US strikes on three sites a week ago had caused "severe damage" but it was not "total".] [Mr. Grossi told CBS News: "The capacities they have are there. They can have, you know, in a matter of months, I w...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Okay, you know me, and if you read most of my rants, you know that I believe without a doubt that Trump is the worst president in history,  for the second time, and no one will ever take that title from him. You may also know that although Richard Nixon made a huge mistake, and deserved to be punished for his crime, I consider him one of the best Republican presidents in modern history. Now I’m going to tell you why. First, I offer you one fact which is irrefutable. Between 2017 and 2021, Trump failed to record a single positive accomplishment. In 2025 he has become more destructive and dictatorial than before. Unlike Nixon, Trump has not been forced to pay for his many, many crimes. That said, let’s compare Mr. Nixon’s accomplishments and how Trump has addressed the same issues today, or if he has simply ignored them. Although Trump expressed his feelings about our military personnel, calling them “suckers and losers,” what a draft dodger would say, he has ...
