Trump should have a DNA test done. Win, lose, or draw, he should wave it around and say he has more “American Indian” DNA than she does.
My problems isn’t with people saying they have Native American heritage. My problem is with basically white European descent people claiming they are Native American to get special privileges and consideration. That is Fraud, and that is what the Democrats and Warren have done. She has no more Native American, by DNA testing that the left is now claiming is ‘true’, than say Andrew Jackson.
True Native Americans have suffered enough, do not claim something your not to steal something else from them.
Probably about right, though if your first ancestors arrived in the Ellis Island Era or later (1890 or after), it is going to be a lot less. If they arrived in the colonial era, it will likely be a lot more.
Warren ought to take and share the results of a DNA test. Most of your ancestry is the result of three ingredients-- proximity, opportunity and value system.
IOW, if your anscestors lived closed to Indians, had opportunities to interact with them and were not particularly prejudiced against them, the chances for sexual relations and offspring was quite high. A bronze skinned Indian maiden was EXTREMELY attractive to a white frontiersman with little or no opportunity to meet unattached white ladies.
Even more so when you put runaway slaves in the same vicinity as remote tribes trying to maintain their population. People were not particularly obsessed with race until Liberals (and their historical equivalents such as Klansmen and slaveholders) came along and taught the behavior.

***************************************************
Actual Europeans, living in Europe, descended from Europeans who never went to America have a certain percentage of “Native American” DNA. What this actually represents is DNA from Siberian sources. These peoples who were the source of these Siberian DNA segments contained in the DNA of modern Europeans were also the source of the same DNA segments present in Amerindians.
Elizabeth Warren is full of shit....and it’s not Cherokee shit.
I am as Caucasian as you can get but one part of my DNA also shows a Chinese or east Asian influence. So there! I too am an eligible minority candidate.
Using simple math and going back just a few generations we are ALL related. Two raised to the 36th power (About 910 years or AD 1108) is one hell of a big number.68,719,476,736..60 billion more than the earths present population. Don’t kid yourself. Not all exploring sailors were gay. Some liked to spread it around.And they DID!
A fact Hitler and the Master Racists happily ignore.
It would have been more honest for Fauxahontas to announce AHEAD OF TIME that she WILL have a DNA test in a blind sample.
Let’s hope Trump pursues this and he can say:
“If she doesn’t look like an Indian at all and she claims American Indian victim status for a job application, how can we trust her for this DNA test she did? If so, then I’d like to see her do a blind sample test from an objective DNA testing company. If she’s confident in her heritage, she will be happy to oblige. If the test was done by a partisan scientist, she won’t cooperate.”
Sure enough, the results would likely be negative and Warren will be scarred for her campaign.
This will probably be Trump’s ace up his sleeve IF and only if she wins the primary and is to run against him. For now, his tweet today has him strategically posing as if he doesn’t give a hoot about her DNA. Brilliant!
