The president as adolescent bully

I am a retired teacher who taught junior high and high school students with social and behavioral deficits for over 30 years. I had to write hundreds of IEP's (individual education plans) describing a student's behavior in a classroom setting.

Here is my report on President Donald Trump: Donald Trump constantly calls his peers by insulting nicknames he has given them. Trump consistently bullies peers by intimidation, harassment and social embarrassment. He always denies any of his inappropriate behaviors, even when corroborating evidence is given. He believes he is the smartest individual in the entire school and even in the entire district.

There are times when female students have said that Trump made inappropriate sexual comments about them. He responds by saying they are lying and states they are not even his type and he would never take them to a school dance.

Trump encourages other like-minded peers to yell at and make fun of students who are different from them, saying they don't belong in our school. He often boasts about his academic accomplishments and athletic awards earned from previous schools. When asked where those awards are, he says we can see them when his previous school releases them. He refuses to read the assigned books and only uses "Cliff Notes" and fake news websites to complete his assignments.

His spelling is below grade level. (end of report)

I have come up with a new Twitter handle for him. Donald J. Trump (@JuniorHighDonny). I believe this new handle truly describes his immature and juvenile behavior. I can only hope this new handle becomes part of his legacy.
