Sound Off for Aug. 13, 2025

Open your mind

The recent comments about President Trump and citizens who voted and support him are very misguided. No doubt folks who dislike him will always state negative comments no matter what he accomplishes. Also their comments lack evidence, just like the liberal media continues to make negative accusations. So unfortunately there is probably nothing that can be done to change their attitudes. The challenge for this group is take an open-minded approach to what this president has accomplished in the past 200 days in office and compare to all the past presidents. Maybe that honest research will be enlightening, if you’re willing to do so with an open mind.

The narrative

Make no mistake about it. This is the biggest humdinger, so far, to change the narrative and focus on Epstein, Maxwell, Melania and Trump’s cavorting together — the Donald taking over the D.C. police. Release the Epstein files. Come on Mike, Cindy & Roger.

Law and order

Just one question. Why are so many people in this country against law and order? Why?

Why doesn’t the Sun Herald change the Sound Off column name to “Today’s Political Forum?”

Astounding comments

Recent Sound Off comments continue to astound me, with such a lack of common sense and clear thinking. Give us specific law breaking or examples of “loss of democracy.” The shrill of TDS or progressive liberal rhetoric is not cutting it.I may not agree with everything President Trump is doing, but I fully support America’s return to normalcy. And closing our borders from mass illegal entry rates him No. 1 in my book ... not to mention getting our military out of the woke culture.

Tariff policy

Trump has again backed off tariffs on China for yet another 90 days. He has no problem with large tariffs on our NATO allies and friends, but when it comes to China and Russia it’s all mouth and no teeth.

Stupid move?

We have been the leaders in scientific research and results for about 80 years because of a partnership between the U.S. government and the best universities in the world. Now we are going to lose that to a bunch of Republican knuckle draggers. I just cant believe we can be this stupid.
