https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-doubles-down-elizabeth-warren-000000314.html?nhp=1Donald Trump repeatedly mocked Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as Pocahontas at a press conference in North Dakota on Thursday, even as a Native American woman present at the event interrupted to call his comments offensive.
Thats very offensive. Sorry, the woman said.
Is that offensive? You tell me, Trump asked.
The woman replied that she was offended, and Trump quickly repeated the phrase.
Oh, oh really oh, Im sorry about that, Trump said before turning to a reporter who had asked about Warren, immediately using the term again. Pocahontas. Is that what you said?

Maybe they could get him to react by dropping trou, and that would get him out of the race for good.

(31,317 posts)but why make people guess?
Why not just call him what he is? Piss him off?

Trump is a racist monster.

(2,434 posts)seems to me one of two things is going on - he is trying to sabotage himself or he just can't help himself. I have to believe the latter and cannot believe he will be able to control himself down the road. No one around him will be able to convince him to rein himself in as he believes he is a winner and can say or do whatever he wants and people will follow like sheep. His railing on the "Mexican" judge followed by this. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but he's going to implode when he starts getting actual hard questions and yes, I'm being optimistic, but I do believe that day will come.

And he seems to think that he really can really kill someone on 5th Ave and he won't lose any supporters.
