Trump, you’re a bully, not a president

Bullying behavior usually comes from people who are insecure. They use brawn and ugly words to prove themselves. Today, right at this very moment, that mentality is coming from our White House.

President Donald Trump is the bully of all bullies. This is certainly not fake news. His recent racist remarks have proved that he is getting more embold- ened and is frightened for the days when his house of cards will fall around him and possibly his family.

His chosen punching bags, most recently, are celebrated sports icon LeBron James and TV news commentator Don Lemon. Both are African-American. To rally his base, Trump says negative things about their intelligence, as so many racists believe misguided rhetoric about men and women of color. Trump stokes coals by spurting out demeaning non-truths. He feels those words make him look strong.

I believe Trump has proved that he, through his very own actions and words, is not a leader, but a classic, insecure bully to the highest degree. Linda Gefen

LeBron James really has chutzpah saying that the president is dividing the country by criticizing NFL players.

No one in any profession has the right to protest at his workplace. It’s that simple. Not only that, the form of protest these NFL players are using is disrespecting the American flag. Plus, they do this using a platform that has tens of thousands of attendees and is shown to millions of Americans on television.

And, James thinks the president is dividing the country? That really takes guts.
