Oh the Irony: Boy bullied for being named "trump" to be guest at SOTU

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/boy-who-bullied-because-he-s-named-trump-among-white-n966876

Poor kid. Bullying is obviously wrong, and this kid shouldn't have to endure it.The irony is that it's all trump's fault, and his narcissism knows no bounds. I bet someone in melania's office got a gold star when they found this kid.

The blame lies exclusively with a bunch of asshole kids and their mommies and daddies who did a piss poor job of raising them.

6. We don't know if this kid channeled Trump and drew off his name as some form of talisman.

In typical Republican fashion, they like to start shit, but then cry victim when the tables turn.

I'd like to find out a little more about this kid from his classmates.

Who knows? He could be a sweet kid, caught up having the Trump name getting permanently soiled by the dottard.

He could also be a Trump supporter, who tried to play some connection with Trump or his agenda.

WHY does Donald Trump insist upon making this innocent boy's suffering continue?

7. I doubt they found this kid. More like the parents or the kid reached out for the attention.

I'm betting on a Trump supporting family, trying to assist Melania with her failed anti-bully campaign.
