I take it then that you don’t view the President’s joke as “benign”.

One of the code talkers later explained that he wasn’t offended by people that yell “Geronimo” while jumping out of a plane. Did that offend you?

NOBODY handles the leftist media better than Trump.
He is the right man for our times.
The left has been intimidating PC conservative pussys for more than a decade.
Its “Get Back Time”
MAGA!!!

No, I don’t view it as benign. Do you? Trump meant it as a malign taunt to Elizabeth Warren, who thoroughly deserves it. He throws out barbs like that intentionally, so the media will spread the point he is making, by acting all outraged over nothing.

I prefer calling Warren “Fauxcohantas” since “faux” makes the point that she is a fraud more obvious for idiots, plus it’s harder for the media to pretend it’s an insult to Native Americans. But Trump WANTS the reaction.

I’m not into being offended by PC crap, like shouting Geronimo. It’s hardly surprising that Navajos would not care either, since Geronimo is a Spanish-Italian name. Whites applied it to the famous Chiricahua Apache whose name was something like “Goyaate”, hard for us English-speakers to say.

My beef is Trump USING the Code Talker ceremony to make irrelevant political gibes, even if they were about Mitch McConnell. I’ll admit being bothered by the stupidity of Trump bringing up Warren, just because he is with some Navajo guys, since it makes him look like a moron. But mostly I hate seeing old people disrespected by the distraction. They should have mattered more than politics for a few minutes. Feel free to disagree.
