Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Now what?

Now that President Trump has opened the door for the release of the Epstein files, what are Democrats going to complain about now? I’m sure they’ll come up with something.

Trump’s minions

You just have to wonder, do elected Republicans ever get tired of President Trump threatening them the second they do something he disagrees with? Do they ever feel like soulless cowards when they remain silent while he does it to others? Is holding onto their office worth the debasement?

That’s our leader

When asked a question aboard Air Force One about the Epstein files, President Trump responds to the reporter with “Quiet, piggy.” So classy.

Social Security

I’m OK with taking a few extra steps on the Social Security platform if that will help preserve it for our children.

Where’s the coverage?

I will start my questions before the season starts. Why doesn’t the Sun Herald cover college baseball?

Every day is TACO Tuesday

ABC Evening News leads with “Trump reverses …“ That’s news? Tell us something we don’t know. That would be news.

Tariffs are taxes

Now our Commander-in-Chief is lowering tariffs on certain grocery products. I guess the countries being tariffed/taxed are not importing. So, now how do we pay for all the subsidies being promised that would be covered by collected tariffs/taxes?

How much proof do you need?

President Trump’s association with Jeffrey Epstein is well-documented and some of y’all still won’t believe it. Yet you believed Hillary Clinton was sex trafficking children out of a pizza parlor without any proof.

It’s not working

To the comment heralding wonderful green energy, move to California, the poster child state of the Democratic Party where electricity is 40 cents per kilowatt hour. My SR Cooperative is 14 cents/kwhr. Regular gas in California is a dollar a gallon higher than the national average.

Come back

I’m not sure what has gotten into Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, but she’s about to be on an island all by herself if she doesn’t come back into the fold.

So much complaining

The way Democrats are complaining, you’d think it was impossible to survive a day in America.

Immigration

Thank you to the Trump administration for attempting to undo the damage caused by President Biden’s opening of the border.
