WASHINGTON – President Trump has invited a sixth grader to Tuesday’s State of the Union address who was bullied because of his last name — which happens to be Trump.

Joshua Trump of Wilmington, Delaware, who made headlines last year because of the abuse he suffered in school, will sit with the first lady during the speech, the White House said Monday.

The young Trump — who is no relation — is described as a student who appreciates science, art and history and who wants to have a career related to animals.

“He is thankful to the First Lady and the Trump family for their support,” a press release said.

In December NBC News reported that the young Trump would start going by his stepfather’s last name, Berto, after being bullied and punched on the school bus and in physical education class.

“I had to sit down with my son and here [sic] him tell me that he hates himself and that he feels sad all the time,” his mother Megan Trump Berto wrote on Facebook on Dec. 6, asking parents whose children ride the school bus with her son to talk about the topic of bullying.

Since then his middle school’s principal moved Joshua Trump to another bus, the school has provided counseling and mentoring and changed his last name in the database.
