Joshua Trump gets invited to the State of the Union by the president and first lady after the 11-year-old is bullied for his last name.
On Monday, February 4, the White House revealed its 13 special guests who will join President Donald Trump,72, and first lady Melania Trump,48, for Tuesday night’s State of the Union. One of the invited guests is 11-year-old Joshua Trump, a Delaware sixth grader who made headlines last December after he was bullied in school for his last name. Although the young boy has no relation to the President, his parents previously told Philadelphia news station WPVI, they were reportedly in the process of changing their son’s name because he was bullied so terribly.
“Joshua Trump is a 6th-grade student in Wilmington, Delaware,” the White House said in a press release on February 4. “He appreciates science, art and history. He also loves animals and hopes to pursue a related career in the future. His hero and best friend is his Uncle Cody, who serves in the United States Air Force.
