One thing that many Republicans and Democrats can agree on, including those that did or still have some support for Trump is that his use of slurs like "Pocahontas" is not helping the already big hole he has dug for himself. Honestly, I don't know of any POTUS (alive or dead) that has had as many news story controversies between when they announce they are seeking presidency through first nearly 2 years of their term.

Of course, it's also his juvenile shorthand since he is incapable of attacking her on substance. Second, anyone who is actually well-informed knows that she grew up being told that the family had Indian blood, which is apparently common among people there. Third, she never benefited from it in any way.

But here's what I was thinking. What Trump did was pounce on something that may or may not have been part of her ethnic background, and then mocked her by calling her by the name of someone famous of that background. Right? So, can't we call turn the tables and do the same to Trump? We all know that he's of German descent. So can we call start calling him "Hitler"? That seems only fair.


Democrats and Republicans should introduce a bill changing our money from in god we trust to In Pocahontas, We Trust. This oughta distract the Hitler Wannabe, president. I mean, they mention Ms Warren so often by the warrior's name, let's honor her, rightfully.

How is it that Trump can get away with calling Sen Warren Pocahontas? Can you imagine what would happen if someone referred to Oprah as Aunt Jemima? Without question Trump's labeling Sen Warren as Pocahontas is racist. Not only do we have a senile old moron for president but he has also earned the title of racist. It is difficult to understand why Trump as any supporters, but it is easy to assume that Trump supporters are most probably racist too.

Trump's wall has nothing to do with national security. Instead Trump views his wall as a monument to himself, King Trump. Trump could care less about the 800,000 federal employees without a paycheck. Trump said, "if the shutdown takes months or years, it doesn't matter to him." I have no doubt that in prep for the possibility of a wall the Mexican drug cartel is buying drones and training operators to continue to deliver their dope to the waiting arms of Americans.

Flush Trump now.
