Oh, phooey!!! Trump’s problem is with FAKE Indians, not real ones!!!!

Even some Native Americans have problems with Elizabeth Warren’s claiming “Native” ancestry and status. So they should have very little if any problem when Trump calls her “Pocahontas”.

But “Goofy Elizabeth Warren” is better!!!!

Yeah, I’m sure Indians are perfectly cool with one of the whitest women on the planet claiming to be one of them.

This tells me that Hillary is seriously considering Warren for VP and wants the MSM to do anything it can to shield her from Trump attacks.

Exactly. They should be concerned that Harvard had shut down its Indian School, and years later, decided to hire a fake Indian as an act of contrition.

It is the job of the press to inform the public.

If Native Americans are perplexed, the media has failed it’s job.

Warren was exploiting the Native American race by claiming to be something she wasn’t. Native Americans should be offended by her actions. They should not be offended by Trump, who was actually functioning on their behalf.

This topic clearly reveals the failure of the Fourth Estate.

We have open flagrant propagandists controlling the information dissemination in the United States.

That makes for a public that is easily fleeced by it’s leaders.

We’re on the brink in this nation.

Our news providers...
Our universities...
Our K-12th grade schools...
Our entertainment industry...

These need to be fixed.

Open competition between belief systems is required for any of these to be healthy.

Until they are, our nation is teetering.

We are all overly sensitive hothouse flowers in need of safe spaces nowadays.

At least in the sick mind of the New York SLIMES.

As a Muskogee (and part Cherokee), I find Elizabeth Warren offensive and Trump calling her ‘Pocahontas’ - well, I am glad someone is speaking out against her.

I find this article offensive because Alan Rappeport makes ASSumptions about what we all think.

Considering the multiple times Trump has dealt with scores of tribes over the years, to mutual benefit, the only ones who have their panties in a wad are the safe space wanabe tribal members in liberal circles, the same people who claim to speak for American Indians in the debate over the ‘Redskins’ name, and who are repeatedly denounced, not only for their lack of actual membership in the tribes they claim to speak for, but also for being contrary to the viewpoints of the tribes.

Trump engages in man talk. That is the way it once was in the United States.

I once worked with a Cherokee/Pawnee and I can hear him guffaw at these snowflakes.

More to the point, if they care more about Trump calling a fake indian “Pocahontas” than they do about that fake indian stealing benefits meant for them, then they’re just political partisans.
