Actual playground taunt, uttered by young boy chasing smaller kids: "I'M DONALD TRUMP!"

Most of the kids were laughing, but at least one was crying.

This happened in a park in northern CA and a family member saw it.

So now Donald Trump is the boogey-man, at least in that California city.

I have heard kids call each other way worse all over the country. Any kid who cries cause Trump is chasing him needs some serious mentoring.

JMHO

but a small child who cries while being chased by a bigger (and unknown one) doesn't necessarily need "serious mentoring."

But there will always be some who play "blame the victim."

I raised kids who had to interact with them in the real world with no adults there.

I don't blame the victim. I teach the victim.

The bullys parents are responsible for teaching them why what they are doing is wrong.

I stand by my opinion and have 2 awesome twenty something year Olds who will teach their kids the same lessons some day.

a child who is twice as big.

But you're missing the larger point -- that the name of Donald Trump is now being used by children as a kind of boogey-man.

Being chased while someone of any age is acting like Donald Trump is frightening... Those who are not afraid need help!

She (a DREAMer) cried when she told the class her asshole step-father was voting for Trump last spring.
