TRUMP GETS SHUT DOWN BY CLEVELAND GRANDMA FOR BEING A ‘PUNK’ AND IT’S AWESOME

http://winningdemocrats.com/trump-gets-shut-down-by-cleveland-grandma-for-being-a-punk-and-its-awesome-video/

Republican nominee Donald Trump just got epically trashed by a grandmother in Cleveland, Ohio after he made a disastrous visit to the charter school that her teenage grandson attends.

Egunjobi Songofunmi, a student at the for-profit charter school Arts and Social Sciences Academy, was thrilled that Trump was visiting his school because he couldn’t wait to meet a famous person. His grandmother Yvetta Songofunmi, however, was not so happy about it.

The campaign visit was part of The Donald’s pathetic (and failing) attempt to win over black voters, and judging from Yvetta’s response, he didn’t do very well. In an interview with NBC News, Yvetta bashed the Republican nominee and told America just why she hates Trump. Let’s just say she didn’t hold back:

One of the things I try to teach my grandson is not to be a bully. So when you say you’re going to bomb the sh*t out of folks and tell folks to go f*ck themselves and to denigrate women and to say that you’re going to go into somebody else’s country and take their oil, that’s a bully mentality to me. That’s a punk move, that’s not a man move....more

Like she said nothing but a photo op to appeal to moderate whites.
But this photo tells you who he really is. You can just imagine Trump at this rally.

Around that time, Trump would've been graduating from the NY Military Academy, where he was sent after having behavioral problems in his regular school, and also where he received, he claims, "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military."

Her nicely presentable grandson is not yet awaken. Yet, she listens to all he has to say, attentively.

I'd be proud to have her as family or friend. Anyone should.

Pure, unadulterated truth - it 's a hard commodity to find in Drumph land.

I am proud to know that I share the same great nation as this woman and her grandson. They lift it with the examples of their lives.

Trump's a bully & a punk. Just there for a photo op.

Another punk lost in Cleveland last night. CM Punk lost his UFC debut to Micky Gall. At least CM was gracious in defeat.
