So I have to assume that you are okay with kids taking their cues from Trump and calling you non-pc things, right? For instance, if you are older and a bit heavier, they can call you "fat old man" or "dumpy old lady." It's all about being non-pc and not afraid to stand up for yourself.
Whenever you interact with other people, you should be like Trump, right? Kids should be taught this growing up?
Good grief! You think that eschewing PC BS amounts to calling people vile names? Get a grip! Before all the PC BS started, people who were raised properly knew that you didn't make fun of people who had a disability. They also knew better than to spew derogatory words regarding race, religion or ethnicity.
Then the PC police came along and browbeat people into calling a Christmas tree a "holiday tree", for example. They've also tried to browbeat people into calling illegal aliens "undocumented immigrants". There are many, many more examples, which, I'm sure, that you are well aware of.

Well, some of you seem to want a President who calls people names. I've seen kids who are obviously taking their cues from Trump and are what I consider to be "rude." It seems like some of you think this is perfectly okay.
Don't forget, the president is supposed to set an example. Don't you remember that old story about George Washington and the cherry tree?
1980 is calling and wants their decade back - The Cold War ended with Reagan.
We are now dealing with Nutcases and they push harder with a weak Leadership.
Trump won't be a weak Leader.
Wasn't Reagan a movie star?
The Cold War ended when the Berlin wall came down.
It looks like weak leadership with an army of newbies and radicals.
Trump won't be a weak leader, but he might not have an evolved enough understanding of international politics to make good decisions.

Political correctness was invented to accommodate the minority, to provide an inclusive society. Political correctness has gone too far, where gender is perceived as an elected preference rather than an innate, congenital trait.
It's not all about being non-pc. Trump calls a spade a spade, which is perceived as a faux pas in the context of PC. The PC pendulum has gone too far in one direction and needs to include social conservatism. Trump resorts to social conservative stereotypes and that offends some people, but stereotypes exist for a reason.

Oh puhleez!
Young kids are taking cues from Trump? Really? Get real!
No, they're taking cues from their parents. It's up to the parents to teach them right from wrong. It's also up to parents to let them know about PC BS and how it came to be. It's gotten to the point where sometimes people don't know what to say. It can be difficult for people of all ages to keep up with what the PC police determine to be right or wrong.
I want a president who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. You want a polished empty suit who has been browbeaten by the PC police. It doesn't matter to you if your candidate is in the pockets of his/her mega-rich donors and puts said donors ahead of his/her constituents. That's not alright by me. It's candidates like that who have gotten us in the current mess.
If you can't tell the difference between rude behavior and eschewing PC BS, then I don't know what to tell you.
Do you think Obama is setting a good example? Do you consider his refusing to enforce immigration laws to be a good example? Do you consider him going after states that make laws that mirror federal immigration laws and suing them for it---all the while not going after states that refuse to follow federal immigration laws---to be a good example? To use your reasoning---kids can look at that and say "If Obama refuses to go after states that break federal laws, then I can pick and choose which laws to obey".
Obama sets a good example. He doesn't call people names. He doesn't have bad personal habits. He always looks presentable. He treats his kids and wife well. This should be the BARE MINIMUM we expect from a President. Trumps fails at the second sentence of this paragraph.

Obama is too soft, and too uncertain. He completely botched the rise of ISIS in the middle east - not even on his radar until it was too late.
