To the Editor:
After a dismal year in the White House, Donald Trump made preposterous claims of his accomplishments during his State of the Union message. The only one that stands out is the tax reform bill, which will benefit only the top echelon of our society.
Tax experts say Trump himself could gain over a billion dollars over the long run. Then Trump complained about the lack of applause from the Democratic members of Congress going as far as calling them traitors. He had enough lackeys in attendance to stroke his ego. They took their cues from the robot-like figures behind Trump who jumped up every few seconds for some inane statement uttered by our Liar-in-Chief. Since Trump lies almost every time he opens his mouth, how can one tell fact from fiction? The Democratic delegation did well to ignore the buffoon standing before them. Only a lame-brain would believe anything he says. Trump, the originator of "fake news,” demands respect and loyalty but is unwilling to give any in return and so deserves none.

Trump did a great job at his address speaking about many accomplishments which are the best ones in years. The Democrats were actually quite rude with their long faces never giving him any credit just like youdon't.

Nancy's face said it all. Petulant children. Wouldn't even applaud or acknowledge the parents of the kid killed in N. Korea. Other times they should have applauded but didn't really amazed me. They really do hate America.

The idea that only the wealthy will benefit from tax reform is so amazingly ignorant it hurts. America just went from a country that exports businesses to one that imports them. President Obama could have gotten corporate tax reform done but he didn't want to alienate the socialist fringe. Trumps a buffoon but he got the corporate part of tax reform right. I wish carried interest had been eliminated but I'll take what I can get.

How can you be angry when the opposition took a page out of your playbook? It isn't fair because the GOP didn't do it this time? I clearly remember the entire second term of Obama's presidency being one antic after another. I didn't agree with it then and I don't agree with it now but at least I can honestly call a spade a spade. Both sides of the isle are not afraid to be disrespectful if they don't agree with the administration.
