President Trump went after Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray at a dinner for the state’s Republican Party on Friday evening, linking him to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
Trump's comments came while he backed Republican Mike DeWine, a former U.S. senator and currently Ohio’s attorney general, who is running against Cordray in a race that the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates as a “toss up.”
“So Mike [DeWine]’s running against a far-left candidate, and you know he was groomed by Pocahontas. The legendary Pocahontas…He was groomed by Elizabeth Warren. His name is Cordray, and he’s trouble,” Trump said in Columbus, Ohio.
Trump frequently refers to Warren as Pocahontas, a reference to her disputed claims that she is of Native-American descent.
Cordray was DeWine's predecessor as Ohio attorney general before joining the Obama administration to serve as the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from 2012 to 2017.
Warren, who helped design the agency during the Obama administration, has endorsed Cordray's gubernatorial bid.
Trump claimed during his speech Friday that "Cordray will destroy your state. He spent the last six years in Washington trying to regulate community banks, you all know about it. Small businesses all over the place, they were going into oblivion."
"People were coming up to me, strong people, tough people with businesses that were one hundred years old, people that were pillars of their community, and they had tears in their eyes, what Cordray was doing. He was putting them out of business."
Trump and Cordray have feuded before. Earlier this year, after Trump slammed the Democratic candidate as a "socialist," Cordray fired back, saying, "All your name calling won't stop me from fighting those who want to cheat Ohio families."
Best. POTUS. Evah.
The next president is going to have to set himself on fire on the front lawn of the White House to generate the kind of entertainment value Trump brings to the presidency.
He was groomed....
....Bwahahahaha!!
Love MY POTUS!
Does DeWine have a chance of winning?
Kasich is going to have a fit.
Hint to tepid GOP muckety mucks.
This is how you FIGHT!
Groomed? That sounds creepy. Liz Warren doesn’t noticable have any TLC qualities to her public persona. Who knows? Maybe she collects (and kills) Dalmatian puppies in her private time.
Cordray doesn’t look the part, but he is a business-hating commie with lots of money...he sucks blood out of the private sector.
Made ya wonder ;-)
if a democrat wins, I hope he/she and the Vice President do it together...
Trump’s continued use of “Pocahontas” is not going to help him move his agenda. It requires the people he needs to convince to have a knowledge of colonial history that is seldom remembered. He needs to discuss what makes America great, not fake Indians.
LOL!
Now, listen.....His name is Cordray, and he’s trouble.
“Now, listen.....His name is Cordray, and he’s trouble.”
Trouble with a capital “T”
And that rhymes with “P” and that stands for pool!
...”People were coming up to me, strong people, tough people with businesses that were one hundred years old, people that were pillars of their community, and they had tears in their eyes, what Cordray was doing. He was putting them out of business.”

Groomed, indeed. By Fauxcahontas and 0bie.
On September 17, 2010, President Obama announced the appointment of Sen. Warren as Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to set up the new agency.
....The CFPB formally began operation on July 21, 2011, shortly after President Obama announced that Sen. Warren would be passed over as Director in favor of Richard Cordray, who prior to the nomination had been hired as chief of enforcement for the agency.
Elizabeth Warren, who proposed and established the CFPB, was removed from consideration as the bureau’s first formal director after Obama administration officials became convinced Warren could not overcome strong Republican opposition.[21] On July 17, President Obama nominated former Ohio Attorney General and Ohio State Treasurer Richard Cordray to be the first formal director of the CFPB.

Begs captioning :-)
It’s Fauxcahontas not Pocahontas.
