Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The secret is out. Trump is a convicted felon, a fascist, a traitor, mentally damaged, incompetent, obese, an old man who is Vladimir Putin’s puppet. Until I hear a Democratic candidate say those words and offer the American people the truth, he or she will not receive my vote.

REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN ENDS AS EIGHT COWARDLY DEMS CAVED

The primary reason the most recent government shutdown came to an end involves eight cowardly Republicans who ceased their demands to continue funding subsidies for the Affordable Care Act. Two of these wusses were the Senators from my state of Nevada, Jacki Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto.

Nevada is a purple state turned red in 2024. It is one of the poorest states in the west. Without subsidies, thousands of Nevadans will be without healthcare.

However, there are many more situations in which Democrats refuse to stand up to the schoolyard bully in the White House.

I KNOW WHY THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DEFENDS TRUMP, BUT WHY THE PARTY CLAIMING TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE?

Television “news,” what is left of print news, and hundreds of podcasts are owned by the Super-rich. These 902 oligarchs serve their Fuhrer, not the American people.

Example: now in control of the television broadcast once produced by the most respected journalists in America, CBS News, is now controlled by Trump sycophant, Bari Weiss.

However, I fail to understand why the men and women who call themselves “Democrats” refuse to protect our nation’s people from the worst man in the world.

ANYONE WHO CONTINUES TO SUPPORT TRUMP IS AN ENEMY OF ALL TRUE AMERICANS

Trump has been added to the list of the world’s most ruthless dictators. He is intentionally harming the future of our nation and the quality of life for most of our nation’s 340 million people. He is following the plans and ideas listed in the 922-page right-wing fascist manifesto compiled from his many hate rallies since 2015.

Trump is without question a fascist who serves his master, Vladimir Putin. It is no secret that his lifetime hero is Adolf Hitler. When he was able to read, he studied Hitler’s speeches constantly.

Every campaign promise Trump made over the last 11 years was a lie. He is intentionally destroying the country created by our Founding Fathers in 1789.

If you studied his life’s history, as I have, you know that he was a lazy child who was incorrigible. His parents sent him away to a military boarding school in 1959 at the age of 13. I have never been able to learn what he was like as a teenager. All I know is that when he left the school, just a few miles away from his childhood home, he was accepted into Fordham University. He was part of the student body between 1964 and 1966.

DEMOCRATS MUST DEMAND THAT TRUMP’S ACADEMIC RECORDS BE UNSEALED

Listening to Trump, or reading his speeches and remarks, it is impossible to believe that he earned his degree from Wharton in 1968. He is illiterate, and his remarks are those of a child whose brain is not fully developed.

I fail to understand why Democrats refuse to expose the real Donald Trump. What are they afraid of? If their concern is losing elections, allowing the orange buffoon to lie constantly about everything will guarantee control of the House and Senate will remain in control of his American Nazi Party.

Democrats must place their country first, and that means all 340 million people. Doing the right thing without reservation will save our nation and it will allow them to retain their careers.

NO PRIOR PRESIDENT HAS RECEIVED RATINGS LIKE TRUMP HAS EARNED

Trump’s latest job approval rating is 36 percent. His grade would be “F- – -.” His disapproval rating is 62 percent. The following statistics are revealing but are somewhat misleading.

His second term approval rating by party: Republicans 89 percent, Indpendents 25 percent, and Democrats 3 percent. It is a fact that Republican voters will always support Republican candidates until they don’t on election day.

The number of registered Republican voters in 2026 is about 38.8 million. This is 30-32 percent. Registered Democrats number about 49 million, or 38 percent. Most significantly, Inependent registered voters are about 32 million and 31 percent. Independents, like yours truly, frequently decide the outcome of elections. I have never believed in the existence of organized political parties.

These statistics support and explain the outcome of the 2020 election, which was, according to Trump’s own election czar, “the most secure and safe election in history.”
