I think it was rather disrespectful to his guests. The reports note that the Navajo men did not react to his use of the word, but that is probably because they are not childish and can control themselves.


President Trump also had prepared remarks, but decided to not utter the words prepared for him honoring the men, and simply gave the binder containing the remarks to one of the former Code Talkers, to read at his leisure.

If it's a racial slur, I believe it's against the rules to put that in a title.

And SHS said we should be offended that Warren lied about her heritage.

First off, I don't believe she lied. Apparently her family spoke of Native Americans in the family as she was growing up, and in that part of the country, it's more than likely.

Now trump calling himself Swedish because his family was embarrassed to be German? That's a lie.

Has anybody asked the code talkers if they took offense at this remark?

No, you say? Nobody has asked. Hmmm.

Did any of the code talkers protest this usage at the time?

No, you say? That's what I thought.

Sounds like no harm, no foul.

That being said...Trump should at least get the moniker right as originally delivered by Jonah Goldberg.

It's Fauxcahontas.
