"'How can we expect our kids not to bully when a person who is running for president bullies?'"

...................................................................................................................................................................
COMMENTS:
*  Her son was a brave and compassionate young man who handled his illness with such grace. Trump is not worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as Ryan. Ever
*  Trump would claim he built the Eiffel Tower, painted the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, or Sculpted the Statue of David if he only could. Never has there been a bigger liar than Trump.  He'd steal credit from a blind man if it would give him noteriety as a man with insight, something he hasn't got nor will ever have.
*  Trump is a narcissistic pathological liar who feeds on those who prop him up. My son's middle name is Ryan...after Ryan White..I admired Ryan's courage and strength while battling this terrible disease...for trump to pounce on that and say that he paid for his treatment is despicable..just one more thing this man tries to take credit for when he did nothing.
*  Trump is a ghoul who plies in the trading of tragedy and horror to enrich his ego and bank account. Meeting with Ryan got him a few more clicks on the fame clock and made him feel good about himself. Nothing more. Vile Trump.
*  He was too busy buying yachts and gold fixtures, and pictures of himself, to help this child. Disgraceful. How can anyone who claims to be Christian (or even just a good and decent person) vote for this man??!!
*  It's going to be really uncomfortable when he calls Mrs. White a liar...you know he can't help himself...

Donald Trump Never Paid For Ryan White’s HIV Treatment, His Mom Says
“How can we expect our kids not to bully when a person who is running for president bullies?”
By Laura Barron-Lopez, October 25, 2016

The mother of Ryan White disputed claims on Monday that Donald Trump paid for her son’s medical treatment and warned that the GOP presidential nominee’s bullying ways are setting a bad example for children.

White contracted HIV at the age of 13 when receiving a tainted blood treatment for his hemophilia. He gained national attention while fighting the stigma that came with the disease at the time, and became the face of public education about HIV. White died in 1990.

His mother, Jeanne White-Ginder, continues to share her son’s story and speak against bullying ― something he faced when trying to attend school after he contracted HIV.

In an interview with the Indianapolis Star, White-Ginder said Trump never paid for Ryan’s treatment ― a rumor that has circulated for years. 

White-Ginder has met Trump multiple times, once briefly when he came to her home after her son died. “Donald was here maybe five minutes and then left,” she said.

White-Ginder added that she doesn’t like the way Trump conducts himself.

“Not respecting women, making fun of the handicapped — that really concerns me,” she said. “How can we expect our kids not to bully when a person who is running for president bullies?”

She supports a number of the things Trump has said he would do as president, but continues to express concern about his behavior.

“Kids are going to grow up and think it’s OK to say the things he does,” she said. “It’s wrong, it’s bullying, and it’s what we’re trying so hard to stop. We need to teach our kids to be respectful to everybody.”
