On September 16 2016, The Huffington Post released an article discussing how Jimmy Fallon treated Trump on his show on Thursday, September 15. What reason do people have to be infuriated when Jimmy was merely doing his job and treating Trump like a human being (because, believe it or not, he is)? They don’t. They don’t have a single good reason to be mad about this.

The way Jimmy treated Trump doesn’t mean he likes him or even supports him—it simply shows that Jimmy is a human being who knows everyone makes mistakes and that even if you see one side of someone—you don’t actually know them. What if Jimmy had treated Trump with contempt and unkindness? There would be people angry about this too. There is no way to make everyone happy with the way you treat someone, but here is something to think about: For all the discussions we have about bullying, why do we think it’s okay to make an exception in Trump’s case?

Yeah, he’s a bully. Sure, he appears to be an unkind, bumbling, idiot—but that is ONLY what the press wants us to see. Why do we think it is required to bully Trump? Why do we think we have the right to pass judgment on anyone who might show kindness to someone we don’t like? Why do we think it is okay to bully some people, but outrageous to bully others? What if Trump does show kindness? We won’t see it unless we are there when it happens because the media is trying their darnedest to display Trump as this awful person.

Now, I’m not saying I support Trump or anything to that extent, but I am saying I support Jimmy in the way he treated Trump. He doesn't roast people on his show—he treats them with kindness. So stop being insane, mad people because you don't like someone and want them to be bullied.... On TV. STOP IT.

Think about it this way: If you were invited to be on a talk show, would you ____

a) Want to be treated kindly

Or

b) Want to be roasted and ridiculed

Which one is it?

That’s right—you don’t want to be ridiculed. This is a show that thousands of people, if not millions, watch. Why then, if you don’t want to be bullied, would you wish for someone else to be bullied? What is going on in your head that computes that scenario as “perfectly fine”?

The way I see it, Jimmy shouldn’t be losing respect, but gaining it. Slate Magazine, Huffington Post, Philly, Newsweek, The Hollywood Reporter and countless other news sites should be losing respect because they wanted Fallon to treat Trump with contempt.

Fallon’s show has never been about making fun of people while producing long lasting, horrible results. His show has always been about treating people with kindness and making jokes that, while they can be a little humiliating, won’t entirely harm a person’s spirit. I respect Jimmy so much for how he treats every single one of his guests. You would never know if Jimmy didn’t like someone because he treats them the way you should—with kindness and that is how we should want our world to be. We should want to treat others with kindness. We should hope to someday gain the level of lightheartedness that Jimmy has. We should hope and pray to be like him someday.

Mainly, we should recognize that bullying is not okay—even in the circumstance of Trump. Bullying is NEVER okay.
