Some low-informatio­n people have claimed that President Trump has a narcissist­ic personalit­y disorder. I totally disagree with that, as he is a humble man who prays to God, goes to church and is a very good family man. If you really want to see a narcissist­ic personalit­y disorder, look no further than Obama. He fits the definition perfectly, but you never heard anything from the media or the complainer­s about that.

••• Under President Obama crime went down, unemployme­nt went down, corruption went down and pollution went down. How is that a mess?

••• Much has been made lately about Democrats demonstrat­ing, rioting and being intolerant of free speech. The main reason for this is that the Democrats are clearly out of ideas, as their brand of socialism has not used, and all they can do is use the badly-worn racism and sexism cards. Currently the Democratic party has no solutions for the numerous problems in this country, and polls show that the party is clearly on the wrong side of all the issues now. The Democrats need to be part of the solution, not the problem.

••• I must admit I was wrong about the Prom King. He’s too ignorant to be a narcissist, a bigot or a misogynist. Are you kidding me? Health care is complex? Prom King, your stupid is showing!

••• In a recent Rasmussen poll, 63 percent of the respondent­s say that Democrats should work with Donald Trump and his agenda. We also saw that the fourth quarter GDP numbers under President Obama were very low. We see that consumer confidence is higher now than in fifteen years, and the stock market keeps climbing to record highs. Obama left us massive debt and record numbers of citizens on Food Stamps and in poverty. All the Democrats can do now is protest, riot and lie, as they have no agenda.

••• For the past forty years presidenti­al nominees of both major parties have released their income tax returns for public review. If the nominee is elected, the public is assured that there will be no conflicts of interest. During the campaign Trump promised to release his taxes after the audit. Now he refuses to do so. Does he have financial ties to Russia? Will Trump’s businesses benefit from his executive decisions? Did he even pay any federal income tax in recent years? American citizens deserve to know the truth about Trump and his taxes.

••• You probably won’t print this, but it’s my opinion that the Democratic party has way outlived its usefulness. We have two parties that are so powerful that they won’t allow other parties to reach the level of the presidency. We simply are not a two-party system, and yet it has become that, and that is incredibly wrong. There is no balance in political parties, but there should be.

••• Okay, Trump Stumpers, you keep saying everyone should join behind the president. What about the Republican­s when Obama was elected the first time? They said they would make him a one-term president and they’d be the party of No to everything Obama proposed. Now you want support for Trump? No way, dump the Trump! By the way, does he think the presidency is a 9 to 5, Monday through Friday job? It’s costing taxpayers millions for him to go to Florida every weekend.

••• If it’s determined by the courts that Donald Trump disobeyed the First Amendment, he should be brought up on impeachmen­t charges. Otherwise, by the end of the year we probably won’t have a Constituti­on.

••• Most of what Obama did was right and did not need to be protested. Everything Trump does is totally wrong and everybody in the country should be protesting him until we drive him out. I do have a job but I will use every second of my spare time and vacation time to protest.

••• I’ve been a registered Democrat for fifty years. I like Jews, Christians. I’m pro-life, I‘m pro traditiona­l marriage, good schools and schoolteac­hers, privacy in bathrooms. I don’t like being a Democrat anymore. I’m switching to independen­t. God bless us all.

••• They keep saying Trump’s popularity is at an all-time low. My question is: are these the same people who said that Hillary was going to win and Trump would never win? Are they asking the same people the same questions? I don’t think they’re asking people who voted for Trump or even the Democrats who want to give him a chance.

••• I support Donald Trump. We all do, because we pay our taxes while he doesn’t . We served in the military but no one in his family ever did. His employees and contractor­s are left holding the bag for his failed ventures while he profited. We take pride in knowing what a xenophobic , misogynist­ic, narcissist­ic, egotistic, jingoistic dystopian demagogue he is. Thanks, Donald!

••• The Democrats are digging a deeper hole for themselves. Tuesday night’s performanc­e by Trump was excellent, but they just sat there. Even when he talked about that Navy SEAL who just died, they didn’t do anything. They’re an embarrassm­ent to this country. I always voted Democrat, and now I can’t believe that I did that.
