Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

Great speech

Excellent work from our president in his speech to the nation. The only thing I would have changed ... don’t interrupt Survivor next time.

For the troops

I’m looking forward to seeing how the Democrats dump on the president providing a Christmas bonus to our warriors. Should be interesting.

Gaslighting 101

To paraphrase what President Trump said on Wednesday night, “Don’t believe your lying bank account. The US economy is in great shape. Most people just don’t understand that yet, but they will in the next year or two. Just you wait. Mark my words. Trust me. You know I’ve never lied to you.”

New plaques

So now President Trump has installed plaques at the White House denigrating previous presidents. Does he have any idea what’s going to happen if/when a Democrat takes office? Can’t wait to see what the Donald Trump one will say.

Walk of Fame

How can anyone read President Trump’s personally authored presidential historical plaques on his new Presidential Walk of Fame and not see his narcissism on full display?

We found the drugs

In view of the $1 million haul of cocaine taken at the traffic stop, maybe President Trump and Sec. Hegseth should consider moving the carrier from Venezuela to the Mississippi Coast so they could more easily bomb trucks along I-10?

At least there’s no oil

Friends, if there was oil under I-10 you can bet your bottom dollar we’d be under invasion right now.
