11-year-old boy called Joshua Trump changes his last name after he was bullied and forced to drop out of school
The parents of an 11-year-old boy in Delaware have changed their son's surname after he had been constantly bullied by his schoolmates since the 2016 presidential elections took place. The reason is simple. He shares the same surname as the current US president, Donald Trump. Joshua Trump has always used his mother Megan's maiden name as his own. The family is not related in any way to the president but when Trump decided to launch his presidential campaign in 2016, bullies used that as an opportunity to make Joshua a target at his elementary school.
WPVI-TV reported that the bullying in the school reached such a level that Joshua's father, Robert Berto, had to pull his son out of school and had him homeschooled him for a whole year. When Joshua was set to go to middle school, the concerned family reentered him into the system but, unfortunately, the bullying started again.
