Bullying is bad, unless president is doing it

Trump is a wonderful role model for children, as is his wife, Melania Trump, who had the great courage to explain to school kids that bullying is bad.

- REX HUPPKE

I can’t believe that in the course of one day, two loser Republican senators who clearly have no friends and are total clowns suggested that the president of the United States is not a role model for children.

What morons!

Senator Jeff Flake (total dope) and Senator Bob Corker (very unattracti­ve) defied the great and beautiful Constituti­on of America by criticisin­g President Donald Trump (who is awesome), with Stinky Corker saying on CNN that Trump is ‘‘debasing our nation’’.

Then Foolish Flake said the president isn’t a role model for kids because: ‘‘The statements that are made about people and seeming to ascribe the worst motives to people as well, that’s something we tell our kids not to do. The mean and cruel tweets or language that is sometimes used, that’s something that I would certainly think that we shouldn’t do.’’

On behalf of REAL Americans who believe Trump is Making America Great Again (TRUTH!) with his perfect honesty and decency, I say: ‘‘Shut up, you stupid drips!’’

Trump is a wonderful role model for children, as is his wife, first lady Melania Trump, who had the great courage to go to Michigan on Monday and explain to school kids that bullying is bad.

In a statement, she said: ‘‘By our own example, we must teach children to be good stewards of the world they will inherit. We need to remember that they are always watching and listening. It is our responsibi­lity to take the lead in teaching children the values of empathy and communicat­ion that are at the core of kindness, mindfulnes­s, integrity, and leadership.’’

President Trump reinforced the first lady’s anti-bullying message on Tuesday by showing true leadership and calling Corker ‘‘incompeten­t’’ and a ‘‘lightweigh­t’’ and tweeting that the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ‘‘couldn’t get elected dog catcher in Tennessee’’.

You see? Bullying is bad, unless it’s directed at a major jerk-face like Corker.

Trump continued to ‘‘role model’’ the boundaries of bullying by dismissive­ly referring to the senator as ‘‘liddle’ Bob Corker’’, which I hope children pay attention to because it’ shows’ t’hem the pr’op’er way to use apostrophe­s.

Speaking of important lessons, the president spelled ‘‘Tennessee’’ two ways in his Corker tweets. First he spelled it ‘‘Tennesse’’, which is clearly the smart way to do it since you save an ‘‘e’’. Then he spelled it ‘‘Tennessee,’’ the so-called correct spelling, according to idiot liberal elitists. (Using the word ‘‘idiot’’ isn’t bullying because I’m directing it at liberal elitists who have it coming because they’re so dumb.)

So you see, the pres’dent is a perfect role model for children because he’s teaching us bettr ways to spel words AND, along with the first lady, showing us that bullying is totally unacceptab­le, unless it’s directed at a sitting US senator who criticises him or a Gold Star family member who criticises him or a pope who criticises him or a woman who criticises him or a journalist who writes something he doesn’t like or a business leader who criticises him or a former president who criticises him or a black person who criticises him or a world leader who criticises him or a US general who criticises him or a celebrity who criticises him or the mayor of a hurricane-ravaged city who criticises him or a late-night television show host who criticises him or a former secretary of defence who criticises him or anyone who criticises him.

Flake, the highly overrated and not good senator from Arizona, said this mumbo-jumbo about Trump on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday:

‘‘We must never regard as ‘normal’ the regular and casual underminin­g of our democratic norms and ideals. We must never meekly accept the daily sundering of our country – the personal attacks, the threats against principles, freedoms and institutio­ns, the flagrant disregard for truth or decency, the reckless provocatio­ns, most often for the pettiest and most personal reasons, reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with the fortunes of the people that we have all been elected to serve . . . They are not normal. Reckless, outrageous and undignifie­d behaviour has become excused and countenanc­ed as ‘telling it like it is’, when it is actually just reckless, outrageous and undignifie­d.’’

What a dung blossom. I don’t want my liddle’ children hearing that kind of ‘‘we should all be dignified’’ nonsense.

I want them to hear tough, telling-itlike-it-is talk. I want them to respond to any form of criticism with an immediate and incorrectl­y spelled response that is both insulting and factually incorrect, because facts are for LOSER NERDS!

I hope our best-ever first lady continues to reach out to undesirabl­e school urchins with her anti-bullying message, and I hope our glorious President Trump continues to teach America’s children that we must be kind and decent to everyone except the people we deem unworthy of kindness or decency.

Those people need to shut their dumb, ugly liddle’ mouths.
