A few weeks ago, Elizabeth Warren announced her intentions to make a White House run for the 2020 race.
Without delay, President Trump predictably took a swipe at her, and it also seemed that in so doing, some have taken it as a seeming shot at Native Americans as well, as he appears to have taken a mocking tone towards the genocide of Native Americans, specifically the Trail of Tears incident, by putting all caps for the word "TRAIL."
Here is what Trump tweeted:
"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!" the President tweeted on Saturday. CNN has reached out to the White House seeking additional comment on the tweet.
Not to be outdone, Trump's son, appropriately named Donald Trump Jr., followed up on that by posting "a screenshot of his father's tweet on Instagram along with a reply by another user that said":
"The Native American genocide continues with another murder by the president."
Trump. Jr captioned his post: "Savage!!! Love my President."
All class these guys, eh?
The Trump family is an embarrassment and a disgrace to this nation. It is 2019, and these wealthy WASP's are making light of the suffering of Native Americans, to go along with their other well-documented xenophobic moments and attitudes.
Again, the whole world is watching! What a pathetic family. What a dark moment for this country, to have such idiots in charge.
This family, and their supporters, are the literal face of the "Ugly Americans."
Here is the link to this truly sad story, that reveals the depths of the indifference and narcissism of this ridiculous family, one that enough American people voted into office to be the main faces and voices of the country, while the entire world watches. Sad, just sad:
