A tiny New Zealand primary school that used Donald Trump to help children learn its key messages has now distanced itself from the controversial new US president, saying he is no longer an appropriate role model. Mossburn School in Southland used the acronym of TRUMP to teach the key competencies from the national curriculum.

"The education of these kids is much more important than what is going on in politics in America,'' Ms Peters added.
