Mr Trump has been called out on comments such as these before, but keeps returning to them at campaign rallies

Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Donald Trump has claimed that Elizabeth Warren believed she was an “Indian” because she had “high cheekbones”, again dubbing her “Pocahontas“ in a mocking reference to her previous claims that she was of Native American heritage.

Later, again referring to her as Pocahontas, he called Ms Warren “mean” after her performance in Wednesday’s Democratic primary debate in which she energetically confronted several of her rival presidential candidates.

Mr Trump has previously been called racist by Native American leaders for calling Ms Warren Pocahontas and referring to native Americans as “Indians”, yet he keeps returning to it at campaign rallies.


He has also been called out for twice making jokes on Twitter involving historical incidents of genocide against Native American people.

In February 2019, in a tweet about Ms Warren joining the presidential race, he signed off with “Welcome to the campaign TRAIL, Liz!” This was widely interpreted as a reference to the Trail of Tears, a series of forced government relocations of Native Americans in the 1830s that led to countless deaths.

Not true of Trump. There is literally nothing about him that is a net positive.

7. The Total POS

in the WH keeps acting exactly like what he is.

He has NO redeeming quality whatsoever - unless one considers being consistently deplorable a redeeming quality.

8. Trumps DELIBERATELY claimed to be Swedish post WW2 so they wouldn't lose Jewish renters

of their properties.

Millions of families are waking up each day and discovering their family stories of ancestry aren’t accurate.

Anyone going there is stooooopid.
