Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Let’s golf

So citizens are financing Trump’s 7-day golf vacation to his resorts in Scotland. Now, If that’s not a conflict, what is? Apparently nothing in the kingdom.

I remember

I’m old enough to remember when Donald Trump ripped other presidents for time spent vacationing.

Hegseth’s firings

I kind of find it odd that the people Sec. Hegseth is firing just happen to be women. And are being replaced by White men.

About time

There’s no reason the government should be funding PBS and NPR. If they are worthy, let the market support them.

Sickening

President Trump again undermines democracy by nominating Jeannine Pirro as Attorney General of Washington, D.C. Pirro, another FOX News anchor is best recognized for her continuous lying regarding election machine fraud.

Epstein list

I’m glad to see the government finally appears to be doing something about the Epstein list. It’s about time.

What I’d like

So a Sound Off writers says we shouldn’t take President Trump seriously, and we should laugh. Really? I want a president to tell the truth, explain his policies, and not seek clicks with stupid, hateful remarks.
