TRUMP SAYS HE’S NOT DITCHING POCAHONTAS NICKNAME FOR WARREN
The Daily Caller ^ | 4:16 PM 11/05/2018 | Saagar Enjeti

President Donald Trump pledged Monday not to give up his derisive nickname for Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren after she produced DNA test results showing a far distant relative of Native American descent.

“That name is too good to give up,” Trump declared. The president made a similar remark at a Sunday campaign rally saying, “I can’t call her Pocahontas anymore because she has no Indian blood … I have more Indian blood than she does and I have none.”

Trump’s comments came during a campaign stop in Ohio while railing against Democratic gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray, a close associate of Warren.

Warren has long claimed to have Native American ancestry based upon familial lore, even going so far as to submit recipes to a cookbook dedicated to Native American cuisine. Harvard Law School featured her as a “minority” professor in the 1990s based on her self-listing in a directory as a Native American.

Warren’s test results released in October showed she is somewhere between 1/64 to 1/1024 Native American.

He almost MADE her more popular by talking about her that much though, when I don’t think she was that well known to the general public outside her state until maybe here recently, or that she claimed to be part native american

And it did seem weird when he brought her up at the Navajo Code Talker ceremony thing, I think they had no idea who she was or what he was even referencing.

I think that 'Fist in the air" would be appropriate, both for her communist style salutes and the act that she is a Caucasian pretending to be a Native American.

Personally, I’d like to see it changed to 1024

Trump is building up people he can easily beat. She’s so much fun to laugh at. And she can’t help herself get angry and make mistakes.

Diehle is a great candidate against her in Mass. Jeff Kuhner predicts it will be a close race today.

Trump can dial up the “class” when it’s required. And he has on so many diplomatic occasions. But why put up a false face doing everyday business?

His enemies are the cruel ones. Words are his weapons for fighting back.

Our government is being ruled by a corrupt elite. We could easily lose our country. And the GOPe is absolutely complicit. Shock therapy is required.

Trump is a man of the people. He’s in power to bring back power to We the People, and we love him for genuineness, his fatherly leadership, his spunk, and his potent humor.

It’s an insult to the original Pocahontas.

Right, he uses his words to tar and feather them on our behalf, and there is justice in doing so.
