Trump mocks Warren 2020 announcement with Trail of Tears reference - Polidicks

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/429289-trump-mocks-warren-campaign-announcement-with-native-american-joke-see-you President Trump took aim at Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) official 2020 presidential announcement on Saturday, mocking her claims of Native American ancestry in a tweet claiming that Warren would run as the country's first potential "Native American presidential candidate." In the tweet posted hours after Warren's presidential campaign announcement earlier in the day, Trump joked that he would "see [Warren] on the campaign TRAIL," which many said was a reference to the "Trail of Tears" forced relocation of Native American tribes that led to the death of as many as 8,000 Cherokee between 1830 and 1850. "Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined the race for President. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!" he wrote Trump has frequently mocked Warren for her claims of Native American ancestry, dubbing the Massachusetts senator "Pocahontas" and making jokes aimed at past statements she has made referencing unspecified Native American ancestry. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reacted to the joke on Instagram on Saturday by sharing a response from right-wing media personality Michael Savage, who tweeted that "The Native American genocide continues with another murder by the president."

the bar has descended into the earth's outer core

That's a pretty impressive knowledge of history. For Trump.

no but seriously whatever happened to civilian respect for natives, was it ever even a thing on the grand scale My dad was a casual "hang a confederate flag in the garage" type but even he was so hard on respect for indigenous people.

whhAAAAAAT???

very funny very normal joke from our president

Thanks Trump for given Warren a boost in polls for next days.

I like how the implication of the grammar structure of this aside is that he's aware that he's the only person who consistently refers to Warren as Pocahontas

Can you please go one fucking day without saying something this god damn stupid. All I ask, just one fucking day where I don't read your fucking name in a headline that involves childish insults you insufferable shit-fuck.

They all act exactly how people born into money would act. No class, no respect, just children riding daddy's money until it's gone.

These people have no fucking low they won’t stoop to.

White nationalists are fine with Native Americans when they're not an obstacle to white nationalism. If you're a proud white guy with Native American heritage or a friendly native keeping to yourself in a reservation somewhere, you're fine. Elizabeth Warren is neither of those things, so she's not.

Anyone that was calling for Northam to be removed for pictures he was in ages ago ought to be calling for Trump and Steve King to be removed for the actions they have taken while serving as elected officials.

Warren would absolutely annihilate Trump. Hillary held back way too much and her message was weak, Warren debating Trump would be like a point blank execution on TV. She'll pull no punches.

Trump's trail of smears continue into the depths of depravity.

tfw the president uses a historical genocide as a joking insult towards another politician...

You have to remember he idolizes Andrew Jackson.

Sometimes I hope that Trump isn't removed from office early so that I can see him lose to Warren.

Kind of really wanted his son to chastise him, because it kind of sounded like that at first, but we are talking about Trump, so he probably would say that with the stereotypical jock voice, a laugh and a fist bump followed by a "sick buuurn!" I'm pretty sure at this point, Trump would stand by someone at Hitler's level, and as he saw a group of people being murdered by him, he'd make a witty joke about it. How is this fuckwad still in power? Obama would have been teared a new one if he even thought of something anywhere close to this.

i have literally no words i am so disgusted

I can already see him trying to declare the results illegitimate and probably even accuse them of hacking the elections if anyone aside from someone with an (R) next to their name wins the election. He'll sheepishly step down with maybe an insult or two at the next guy if the winner is a Republican, but if a democrat takes it the Republican party will probably implode trying to convince their voter base that Dems took it through help from Chinese hackers or some shit

By the end of Watergate people were concerned Nixon would snap and roll up tanks to the White House and refuse to step down

I know 2020 will be far from the last we hear of Trump. While Obama and Bush moved on and became minute blips on the tabloid radar, Trump will be sure to hog as much of the spotlight as physically possible for as long as possible to satiate his narcissistic and sociopathic personality. He vehemently denies reality, and once (hopefully) he loses the election, that reality will come crashing down, crushing his frail snowflake ego, and he's going to deny and deflect reality to his dying breath believing the world loves him and the election was one huge fraud.

Hopefully he'll just outright be dead of old age by then. In June he's turning 73.

Not that it's news, but the Trumps continue to show that they are all around vile beings.

You know, in india something like this would very likely get you arrested first and released later, no matter what kind of bigshot you were, even if they couldn't do anything to you for whatever reason. Why do americans permit their politicians to spew out awful nonsense like this?

We lean very, very heavily on the totality of "freedom of speech" no matter what the national embarrassment will come of it.
