The federal government has provided a clear definition of bullying at www.stopbullying.gov, an official website of the U.S. government. Their definition of bullying includes, among others, name-calling and pressuring others using a power imbalance.
Clearly, the current occupant of the Oval Office is a bully and has lost my respect. His name-calling of those with whom he disagrees is too frequent to detail. The Founding Fathers considered the abuse of power as an impeachable offense. The negotiation of one-on-one trade treaties with less powerful countries using our economic power is clearly a type of bullying.
The attempts to bully individuals and other nations meets my definition of abuse of power. The current occupant of the Oval Office needs to be impeached and then tried in the Senate.
