Sun Herald readers weigh in on local and national topics.

So sad

Maybe the only thing as sad as the tragic death of Nolan Wells has been some of the online reaction to the death of Nolan Wells.

All about money

A young man is dead and there are people all over the place trying to make a dollar off of his untimely passing. From fraudulent fundraisers to people saying outrageous things online for engagement to lawyers aiming to get even richer. What a sad statement about our country.

Prayers

Prayers to the family of Nolan Wells. Whatever happened, it is a tragedy that he lost his life. If anyone contributed, may they face justice.

Trump’s week

President Trump’s week in review: Increased the risk of military escalation with Iran; Strained diplomatic relationships at the NATO summit; Used national celebrations for political messaging; Continued relying on executive actions instead of working through Congress; Cut off relations with Spain; Renewed talk of acquiring Greenland; Ditched the new Air Force One and went back to the old one; Spent more taxpayer money on the Reflecting Pool fiasco; Softened crypto regulations while his son stood to benefit financially. Busy week? Nah. Just another routine week for this guy, and the week’s not over.

Belgium dancing

There is a video of all the Belgian players laughing and doing the “Trump Dance” in their locker room after their win. Just another example of President Trump’s decisions turning the USA into a disrespected, mocked, shadow of what we used to represent to the world.

Take a deep breath

Democrats have completely lost their minds. It’s crazy how everything bad in the country can somehow be traced back to President Trump. Lay off it, if only just for once.

Democrats

Quite a candidate you had their in Maine, huh?
