Is bullying still bullying when you're doing it on behalf of your country?

Still a bully. Look at Dutarte in the Philippines and Idi Amin for other examples. And how could I forget Putin?

It’s difficult to defend any policy whatsoever regardless of the merits when the proponent of that policy assumes office DEFINED as a bully.

“But is it still bullying when he’s president and bullying other countries—”

Yes. Being a leader does not mean you can attack other countries and act like an asshole. That is how you start wars and become hated.

@Lightlyseared Taking charge where there is no one in charge.

It is not torture if you do it.
It is not terrorism if you do it.
It is not being nazis if you do it.
And therefore it is not being a bully if you do it.

Oh Jesus.

Can this sort of shit just stop?

Trump, for now is not, and might never be, an official representative for the United States.

Our enemies are far worse than than bullies.

They are an invading force.

Yes, it is. Most people are working for their country even if their paycheck is not from the
gouvernement. If janitor or a teacher in à pulic or private school can’t be bullies then
no reason it’s ok for a president

@SecondHandStoke and what invading force is that?

@zenvelo you mean you haven’t heard?

There is a time for bullying and a time not to bully. With some people, brutal intimidation, either physical and emotional is all they understand. But it must be used with discretion, on the right people. Trump’s only tool in his box is bullying and that would surely get us into trouble, especially with more adept and smarter bullies like Putin.

But I agree with @SecondHandStoke: Trump will not be elected.

Isis is a good example, they’re worse than bullies, and they’re doing it for their religion, so that still kind of counts right? So yes, it’s still bullying, if not worse.
