It is one thing if you are a public figure and get made fun of on a talk show or in a comedian’s act. We all get that this comes with the territory.
It’s also understandable to a point if a public figure’s family gets made fun of if they made a distinct point to interject themselves into the conversation. That I can get but not nearly as much.
Bullying, on the other hand, is something that I do not get for one single solitary second.
No matter who is doing it, it is a weak mind that is preying on someone just because they can for whatever reason.
I get the fact that there are people that do not like President Trump even if I think they should give him a second listen. The fact is, there have been people that shared the same last nae of the President long before he ever decided to enter the political arena and there are people who will have it long after he is gone.
For any group to effectively sanction the bullying of anyone because they share the same name of a public figure of any kind of absolutely sickening.

An 11-year-old Delaware boy with the last name of Trump has asked his school to change his name in its records, citing bullying as the reason for his request.
The bullying allegedly began after candidate Donald Trump announced that he would be running for President, which prompted the boy’s mother, Megan Trump, to pull her son out of school to be homeschooled, according to WPVI.
Bullying once again commenced after the boy’s parents tried enrolling him this year into a different school, Talley Middle School, in the hopes that circumstances would be different.
The boy, Joshua Trump, had always gone by his mother’s maiden name, but now wants it changed to his father’s last name, Berto, now that the bullying has picked up again at school.
Talley Middle School has agreed to change Joshua’s name in their system, but the boy’s parents are displeased, and say that the Brandywine School District hasn’t done anything to address their son’s bullying.
“He said he hates himself, and he hates his last name, and he feels sad all the time, and he doesn’t want to live feeling like that anymore, and as a parent that’s scary,” said Joshua’s mother to WPVI.
“They curse at him, they call him an idiot, they call him stupid,” added Megan.
