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.

Exactly. This is the point many here is missing.
He is not comparing her to “Pocahontas”, he is using a code word to bring up the fact she has lied about her heritage in order to enrich her self (perhaps taking the place of a true native American).
The left hates it because they know what he is doing (it is straight out of their play book). Mock your opposition to the point no one will take them serious.
I disagree. The REAL Pocahontas is always relevant. Neither Trump, the person being mocked, or the listeners probably realize he is disrespecting a real person with real achievements.
Fauxahontas is so much more apropos and relevant to Warren.
