He didn't mock the Trail of Tears. You're embarrassing yourself.

Apparently Junior thought so too. Any comment on that?

We all know what he meant by TRAIL in the tweet. You want to keep lying to yourself, go ahead.

She deserves every bit of it!
Trump Jr. then goes on to make a joke about genocide of Native Americans based on his dad's "savage" tweet.

Mrs. Warren is part of the problem with politics today, but Trump Jr's tweet is embarrassing to a lower level. It is disgusting that this counts as acceptable political discourse on both ends.

He all capped the word trail after continuing to use the name Pocahontas to insult Warren. By the way, Pocahontas was captured and damn near enslaved. She was nearly forced to convert to Christianity by the Angleos. So yeah, lots of stuff for people who give a damn about the atrocities of Native Americans by the White man to complain about inn this tweet. I'll admit the TRAIL was a veiled reference, but using an enslaved Native American is not.

stretch of the word Trail to mean, trail of tears, is absurd.


Article wiggles free by saying 'IT APPEARS".


Happy trails to you!
Oregon trail
molly stark trail
minisink trail


many references made to "Indian trails. The word trail is associated with Indians and cowboys and the old west as well as eastern indian trails such as old York road....'early indian trails known as the old York road after the 1711 survey....."


Indians and the generic word 'trail' are closely associated.


He trailed the rustler..


It is an old indian trail.


The indian trailed the buffalo


'six indian trails that turned into scenic highways'


"Indian trails of maine 1920"


"Indian Trails of the 17th and 18th centuries. In preparation for expanding the Native American presence at the Museum,.....A compilation of certain recorded northern New England Indian trails and villages of the 17th and 18th centuries.”


movies.....
'western trails'
"the bandit trail'
"Arizona Trail"
"the big trail'
"trail of the lonesome pine'
"trail of the wolf'


Clear case of hate and fear mongering by the people whose homes have no room for hate.


This is the stuff of banana republics, and authoritarian regimes. Make nonsense up and run with to invalidate and destroy an opponent.

Yes - Don Junior clearly thought he was referencing something other than 'see you on the campaign trial' otherwise it wouldn't be the sick burn Junior seemed to think it was.

He does so on a nearly daily basis but clearly he thought it meant something.
