Look lady, you're as phony as a three dollar bill, don't run your jive on ME.
He shouldn’t call her Pocahontas, that’s wrong. Fauxcahontas is the correct name.
I think it is hilarious
Because Pocahontas is a nickname meaning spoiled girl or naughty girl. It was not the name of the very young Indian Girl Disney lied about either.
You and wbarmy have hit the nail on the head. Trump is crazy for using the term Pocahontas. The press jumped all over him the first time he used it. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone on the left switched the two terms. And shame on Trump’s staff for not catching and correcting.
This 1000x. I also think Trump's speech patterns exhibit evidence of some minor hearing loss so it could be a factor, too. JMO...YMMV.
She’s lucky she’s a liberal. A conservative with this many lies would be toast by now and would never had made U.S. Senator!
Grey Beaver.
Trump delights in the press “jump[ing all over him” over bright shiny things. Every time he throws out one of these lines he is distracting from a major issue.
Much of what PT is doing is laying the groundwork for major changes when all of the pieces are in place. He needs to distract from his real work before he is ready to unveil his plans.
No, no.
Sack-o-$h!7-weena
BINGO! You have it exactly right.
-—Her nicknames include “Lieawatha,” “Chief Spreading Bull,” “the Fake Indian” and “Fauxchahontas.”-——
Yesterday a brilliant FReeper added “Gray Beaver”
Totally agree, Pocahontas became a born again Christian and tried to get more missionaries from England to go to the Americas to reach her people.

The life and times of the REAL Pocahontas is completely irrelevant. Trump is using that name because it’s a familiar Indian name to people - thus, he’s mocking Warren in a way that people can immediately understand.
I have to disagree.
I mean, I appreciate the subtlety of the "faux" syllable, and the implication that she is false, but this is way too complicated a concept for effective branding.
"Fauxcahontas" tries to sum up the whole controversy in one elegant word. In reality, branding is more of a blunt instrument.
Disney spend a gazillion dollars inserting the name "Pocahantas" into the American lexicon. Trump is getting the advantage of all of that branding, and is not trying to teach people a new word. By going right at Warren, calling her an Indian name, he is inviting the left to accuse him of racism, which he uses as a force multiplier when he points out that Warren is the actual racist, and he is the defender of Indian heritage.
Trump is right on the money on this one. Brilliant branding, as usual. "Pocahantas" it is.
I’m so stealing that.
Call her:’Squaw Speaking Bulls—t’.
