11 year old changes his name from Trump because of bullying

An 11-year-old boy who shares his last name with President Trump is changing it because of constant bullying by his middle school classmates. Joshua Trump, who had been using his mother's last name, will now go by Joshua Berto, using his father's. Megan Trump, who isn't related to the president, told Philadelphia station WPVI about her son, "They curse at him, they call him an idiot, they call him stupid." She said the bullying has been going on since Donald Trump first launched his presidential campaign in 2015. Trump told the station that her son, quote, "hates himself and he hates his last name, and he feels sad all the time. He doesn't want to live feeling like that anymore, and as a parent, that's scary." Five of Joshua's classmates were identified as the main children bullying him and they have been disciplined by the school and apologized.
