Donald Trump
… and your children © 2016
Donald Trump has insulted more people than you could ever keep track of, and he has been the ultimate bully. He has insulted women, a handicapped man, and he has called people unattractive just for the sport of it.
Trump has incited prejudice against different groups, as well as people with different religious beliefs. He has acted as if he was better than others, as if he knows more than anyone else, and he has behaved like the consummate spoiled brat.
What Trump supporters admire about him, they would never tolerate or admire in their children. Surely, if most parents saw their children acting like a bully, a brat, a know-it-all, or insulting people for sport, and expressing bigoted feelings towards others, they wouldn’t accept it. But when Trump acts like that, they cheer and applaud.
How can grown-ups applaud behavior in Trump, an adult, that they would never tolerate in their children?
If a child behaved like Trump, almost any decent parent would give that child a stern lecture. That parent would use the occasion as a teachable moment, and that parent would certainly discipline the child. Again, how can Trump supporters accept behavior in him that they would never accept in their own children?
Most parents encourage their children to be respectful. They almost never teach them to grow up and be as crude and rude as Trump. If Trump-like behavior is not acceptable in children, why is it acceptable in an a grown man named Trump?
