The Bully Pulpit

Mr. Trump doesn't seem to be familiar with the term. He wandered around in a paragraph the other day and came up with "megaphone". Oh well. I wouldn't expect him to be acquainted with even a modicum of American history knowledge.

Anyway, I suggest a new term be used for our new leader. I believe he will utilize the "Bullying Pulpit". What do you think? Will it catch on? Has it already appeared? If not, copyright me! Just kidding......

Sorry, but I hope the term will catch on. He is, after all, a bully.
