Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart His ballroom; his war, his golf excursions, and his trips to the Lago. This and giving tax cuts to his oligarchs are bankrupting Amrica. What Trump has done since January 20 2025. What has he done for the people? Zilch. Trump is the most expensive illegitimate president in America’s history. Although he is asking for an even larger budget for next year, his personal expenditures will continue to exceed our nation’s income. How will he pay for his evil and wasteful plans? WHERE HAVE YOUR TAX DOLLARS GONE SINCE JANUARY OF 2025? I won’t step around the facts. Since January 20, 2025, he has spent millions of dollars on vengeance. Trump considers anyone who disagrees with him an enemy. Trump’s golf “excursions,” combined with his many trips to the Lago, cost taxpayers more than 10 million dollars each month. Trump destroyed the East Wing of the people’s White House. He wants to build a garish and unnecessary ballroom. He lied, promising that his oligarch’s would pay ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart In 2015, as Trump held one of his first hate rallies, he told his cult, “I love war, even the nuclear kind.” He also told the truth for one of his very few times in his then 69 years: “I love spending other people’s money.” He’s doing a damn good job of wasting your tax dollars in 2026. TRUMP CLEARLY FAILED EVERY ECONOMICS CLASS HE FAILED TO ATTEND It was our third President, Thomas Jefferson who said: “Never spend your money before you have it.” In 2025, America’s income was about 5.23 trillion dollars. The national debt rose to $38 trillion. Trump’s War is costing taxpayers more than one billion dollars each day, and there is no money in the national treasury to cover that huge waste of taxpayer contributions. Do you think the super-rich, who benefit financially from wars, should pay their fair share? Trump is demanding Congress approve a 2027 budget of more than 1.5 trillion dollars. None of it will go to the American people, A huge part of that unfathomable ...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Is it a war, or not a war? More importantly, is it Trump’s war or America’s war? Nowhere in American law is there a definition of “war.” However, the invasion of Iran can be defined, and to the average American, Trump’s unilateral decision to invade Iran was a declaration of war. Republicans on Capitol Hill refuse to call his decision an act of war. If it is a war, Trump must be impeached. This is a clear violation of the Constitution which reserves the right to declare war to Congress. If it isn’t a war, and Trump is wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, he must repay all 340 million Americans for his singular decision to attack a sovereign nation without provocation. It appears that the American people could take part in the biggest class action lawsuit in history. TRUMP MUST PAY FOR HIS BAD DECISIONS, DECISIONS WHICh ADVERSELY AFFECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE For the American people, inflation, or “Greedflation,” is escalating rapidly. Ga...
