Donald Trump’s campaign has been filled with a lot of hateful rhetoric – calling Mexican’s rapists, making fun of a disabled reporter and saying lewd comments about women.
The Briefing, the opposition research arm of the Hillary Clinton campaign, released a new political ad to show how his words have already had a negative impact on children – and calling it the “Trump Effect.”
“Since Donald Trump has started running for president, I’ve felt harassed for being Latino,” one kid begins.
Another kid adds that he’s been bullied for being Muslim and has been called terrorist by other kids.
As we hear other stories being shared, one heartbreaking account is from a young boy who has the same disability as the reporter Trump mocked.
“That reporter and I have the same condition,” he says. “When Mr. Trump made fun of him, that hurt my feelings,” the boy commented.
One boy puts it bluntly: “The stuff that Trump has said has made it okay for these kids to say these prejudiced, very racist, sometimes, comments.”
The article references stories of children in the classroom or on the playground who have isolated or mocked other kids for being Latino or Muslim.

The Trump Effect
Clinton's political ad references a Washington Post article which explains, "Given what some of our children are learning from him, it may take an entire generation to recover from the hateful rhetoric he has aimed at immigrants, Muslims and Blacks Lives Matter protesters. Trump’s vitriol is making it off the campaign trail and into the lingua franca of children at an alarming rate."The article references stories of children in the classroom or on the playground who have isolated or mocked other kids for being Latino or Muslim.
