Like a movie
Donald Trump winning presidency reminds me of the movie Rocky.
History?
Not only did Donald Trump win, he beat two presidential contenders. President Biden folded and Vice President Harris just flat out lost. Has that even happened before?
A new dawn
Markets are soaring, world leaders are once again ready for a real relationship with America and food even taste better today.
What’s next?
I agree that it is time for an intelligent, articulate woman for president: Nikki Haley in 2028.
Hurricane maps
I, for one, am looking forward to the return of our hurricane maps being altered by the president if he doesn’t like what they show. I feel safer already.
He’s the problem
There has always been mud-slinging in politics, in spite of the fact most voters say they don’t like it. One writer to this column wonders where honor and civility have gone. I personally trace it back to the moment Donald Trump stalked Hillary Clinton on stage at the debate in 2016 in a totally unacceptable display of attempted intimidation. After that, it was anything goes. Unfortunately, he has a base of mostly young men who think his behavior is something to be admired.
Got his wish
Those writing in to say give David Elliot a break seem to value his time at WLOX more than he did. His flippant “See ya,” which he chose to make public, shows disdain for his employer and those who watched him for nearly 40 years. I happen to disagree with the policy, but in the end, he asked for it and he got it.
