Bullying

The First Lady initiated a campaign to combat bullying, especially online bullying. Her husband doesn't seem at all concerned.

George Conway, often referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway by those who know him, is VERY jealous of his wife's success & angry that I, with her help, didn't give him the job he so desperately wanted. I barely know him but just take a look, a stone cold LOSER & husband from hell!
(Trump week 3-20-2019)

Ignoring that it is another lie among thousands of lies (Conway withdrew his name from consideration from the job to which Trump refers), think about what the President of the US is saying. Calling another person a loser. On Twitter. Textbook online bullying. 

Trump says he barely knows Conway, but somehow he knows that people who know him refer to him by his wife's name. 

I hear people say they like that the President fights back. I don't agree. The POTUS should take the high road. Be strong, but be a gentleman. He shouldn't waste his time on Twitter battles. 

Would we tolerate our teachers or pastors or local leaders calling others "loser" or "husband from hell"?

Would you allow your children to say such things to others on social media? If you would not approve of your children saying such things, then why are you OK with our President doing it? Don't we want him to be someone we can look to as an example for how to lead? We don't have to agree with him on everything, but we should expect his behavior to be appropriate, at the least. 

More on McCain:
He has good words to say about Putin, our adversary, he has good words to say about Kim Jong Un yet he disrespects our hero, he disrespects Senator McCain and his family. What a moment of shame for us to have such a commander in chief.
