A Second Mental Illness for Trump

Image
  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...

Trump and Epstein: Two Lascivious Old Men United in Life and Death

Image
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 ...

“Nothing but Bad News” Has Become “Nothing but Evil News”

Image
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...

From Trump, More Lies, More Attempts to Misdirect the Truth, More Hypocrisy, but no Leadership

Image
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...

Another Effort to Remake America Into a Nazi Nation

Image
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...

Trump’s Hidden Tactic Designed to Mislead the Facts

Image
  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...

Now is the Time for 340 Million People to Stare Trump in the Eyes and Say, “FUCK OFF.”

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Schoolyard bullies share similar traits. They use others to do their fighting for them. When seriously challenged, they are cowards and crawl back under their rocks. No bully has power unless it is given to them. This defines Donald John Trump, the worst old man in the world and its biggest coward. The bully’s latest demands involve the Washington Commanders and the Cleveland Guardians. This week Trump ordered them to change their names back to the original: Redskins and Indians. Who the fuck does this cowardly old man think he is? Wait, I know the answer: he believes he is America’s Supreme Dictator/Fuhrer. I become sick and on the verge of regurgitating every time I hear Trump’s name or see his ugly, old, wrinkled face. He is not an American and is undeserving of claiming the title of President of the United States. Now is the time for every American citizen: all 340 million of us: to stare Trump in the eyes and tell him to “FUCK OFF.” He obviously d...

10 Years Every Real American Would Like to Forget

Image
(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...

ICE Prison Guards Mimic Nazis in Auschwitz-Like Florida Concentration Camps

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a Nazi. He is proud of his concentration camp built in the middle of the Florida Everglades. He gave it what he thought was a clever name, “Alligator Alcatraz.” This is what people who hate America are willing to do to innocent men, women, and children who are guilty of nothing more than seeking a better life, not unlike the early settlers who arrived from Western Europe in the 1500’s and 1600’s. [The 92-page report, “‘You Feel Like Your Life is Over’: Abusive Practices at Three Florida Immigration Detention Centers Since January 2025,” was released this week by Americans for Immigrant Justice, Human Rights Watch and Sanctuary of the South. It alleges widespread mistreatment of migrants detained at the Krome North Service Processing Center, Broward Transitional Center and the Federal Detention Center in Miami.] There is no denying the fact that Trump’s personal gestapo, hiding their faces behind masks and calling themselves “ICE,...

Bush 43, Trump, and the Overwhelming National Debt

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Proving once more that Trump is a pathological liar, he created another unnecessary government agency and called it the “Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE.” He claimed that it was his plan to reduce the national debt by more than two trillion dollars. He lied. It was an effort to take vengeance on men and women who are not loyal to his fascist plans for America’s future. The truth is undeniable. America’s 40 th , 41 st , 43 rd , and 45 th presidents, all Republicans, are the reason the deficit has grown to more than 36 trillion dollars. This is what it looks like: $36,000,000,000,000. The largest villains are George W. Bush and Donald John Trump. This is one of the reasons I consider them the worst presidents in history. Bush failed to protect our nation and 9/11 happened. His failed fiscal policy, and engaging our nation in two unwinnable wars with lies and deception caused the Great Reception. In just four years, between 2017 and 2021, Trump increased...

Time to Save Social Security and Return it to Its Original Intent

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart When President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act in 1935, it was the only perfect bill ever passed by congress. Its funding would not come from the taxpayers. It would be fully funded by contributions from employers and employees. Payments would be based on total contributions until the age of 65. To this day it has never been reported that any individual has lived long enough to receive the total of their contributions. So, it seems that the fund should have a surplus. However, when governments become involved, everyone suffers. After the Social Security Act became law, lawmakers began to embezzle funds which belong solely to the men and women who contributed to the program which was intended to provide retirement funding for all Americans. They added other programs, expecting to pay for them with the contributions of the working class. The correct and honest thing to do would have been the creation of new, separate programs. However, the gov...

Misdirection Will not be Effective: Trump is a Lecherous, Old, Sexual Predator

Trump’s Budget Cuts Make the Skys More Dangerous

Image
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...

June 7, 2025 was not the First Day Trump Publicly Admitted He was a Nazi and Supported Fascism in America

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart On June 7, 2025, Trump ordered about 4,000 members of the California National Guard to Los Angeles. Peaceful protests were in progress, expressing their displeasure with Trump’s illegal immigration/ethnic cleansing policy. There were a few sporadic instances of violence, including a burning trash can and an overturned automobile. However, Fox News chose to offer its viewers only the few violent incidents, ignoring the main part of the event. Trump either overreacted or simply saw an opportunity to use his power and sent military troops to the City of Angels. A couple of days later, he ordered 700 Marines to support the National Guard. Normally, this situation would have occurred at the request of California’s Governor, Gavin Newsom. However there had been no request. This was fascism in its purest form. This was not the first act of a fascist dictator performed by your illegitimate president. After Trump received his controversial diploma from Wharton Business C...

Inability to Take Criticism is a Sign of Weakness Attributed to Cowards

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has spent one-half of his first six months seeking vengeance on his adversaries. Most of them did nothing to the old, obese, buffoon, they simply criticized him for his many mistakes. However, Trump’s ego is as big as his humongous derriere, and his obsession with soothing that fragile ego surpasses the needs of 340 million people. Trump is an immature, childish, very old man. The schoolyard bully is unfit to lead our nation, if he wanted to. The orange buffoon is currently occupied with his own interests; too busy to perform the job for which he was illegitimately elected. Op-ed by James Turnage Follow my blog and be informed    

A True or False Checklist For Donald John Trump

Image
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...

More Right-Wing Efforts to Distract the American People from the Facts About the 2016 and 2024 Election

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart It’s an old, and sometimes successful tactic, albeit temporary. However, desperation makes the guilty take any action to avoid closer inspection by the authorities and the American people. Trump and his incompetent supporters are attempting to move the discussion about Trump’s very close relationship to Jeffrey Epstein out of the light of day with attacks on real Americans. Anyone who follows what happens in Washington, simply reading the headlines or seriously engaged in efforts to find the truth, will tell you that Tulsi Gabbard is a moron seeking attention and relevance without success. Gabbard is a Trump worshiper, and is suggesting that the investigation into collusion between Trump and Putin in the 2016 election was a fabrication created by President Obama. Of course this is completely false. However, she is desperately attempting to misdirect the attention Trump is receiving for his many crimes in 2025 and in the past. Let’s get right to it. A plethora of...

Is Trump’s Illness More Serious, and Is There Hope for Us?

Image
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I am the perfect person to confirm that Trump is far too old to be your president. The orange buffoon is older than me by three weeks. If we both live another year, we will be octogenarians. A few facts only those of us who reach such a ‘venerable age’ think about and understand. At the age of 79, I have surpassed the average life expectancy of an American male. The average age in 2025 is 76.1. I would be lying if I told you that mortality is never in my thoughts. I’m not obsessed or greatly concerned with that fact, but it is reality. Every human being has an expiration date. Unlike fresh fruit at the grocery store, we do not know what that date might be. I do know that I am at an age when the basic joys of life have become fewer, or non-existent. All I can do is deal with it and enjoy what life continues to offer me. All that aside, I know that neither I nor Trump should be America’s president. Age is a factor when your responsibility is the welfare and safety...

Billionaires Are Responsible for the Demise of America and the Rise of Donald Trump

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Money is the root of everything which debases humanity. As the new nation became a reality and shocked the world by defeating the British Empire in September of 1783, America became a beacon of light for all people living on the third planet from the sun. Between 1787 and 1789, a new country emerged and became the United States of America. It was founded by men who were imperfect, but shared lofty principles and ideals based on personal freedom, human rights, and equality without regard to wealth, ethnicity, religion, or departure from common beliefs. Free thought and the freedom to separate from the majority and embrace lifestyles which were often considered unusual, different, and even abnormal offered a future when diversity became the new nation’s strength, not a threat to the status quo, but acceptance and respect for our differences dominated. Their actions were brave, idealistic, dramatic, and presented the existence of both great promise and great ...
