Trump Again Derides Elizabeth Warren as Pocahontas

[TomCADem]

Source: NBC News

President Donald Trump returned to one of his most derogatory insults Friday, referring to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren as "Pocahontas" — a jab at her Native American ancestry.

Speaking to a cheering crowd of NRA members in Atlanta, Trump said "it may be Pocahontas" who seeks the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.

"She is not big on the NRA," Trump added, an apparent reference to Warren's support of gun-control measures.

Warren did not immediately respond to Trump's attack.

In his remarks, Trump also took a shot at former President Barack Obama, telling the audience that "the eight-year assault on your Second Amendment freedoms has come crashing to an end."

1. trump is such a loser. only knows how to do personal attacks. never makes cogent arguments

[Warpy]

2. Yeah, and I can hear my mothers voice saying "That fat peasant"

whenever I see a picture of his ugly, piggy face. Were he not such a boor, he might rate a "bloated plutocrat" from her. However, she'd have him pegged.

It's times like these that I really miss her.

8. *snort*

"Fat peasant"

I think I would have liked your mother too!

[not fooled]

3. Oh, and his knuckle-dragging, dimwitted followers

eat it up. Just like insults about Senator Clinton. Lowlifes who think personal insults take the place of reasoned argument.

Of course, Senator Warren fights to help the deplorables in ways they don't comprehend, while dump and his ilk are out to screw them.

4. The best way to put an end to that behavior is to embrace the reference...

45 does it to look cool in front of the "loyal" crowd and to stir up his opposition's feelings of outrage so that he can get lots of press coverage ...

Once the 'name' is no longer a catalyst for outrage & press coverage ... the bully moves on to other more productive sharp sticks to use for poking & jabbing....

She just needs to spin it for the press...
Tell em that she
Appreciates the POTUS' ongoing commitment to publicly recognizing her Native American heritage and finds it quite a compliment that the POTUS associates her with one of the most famous female ambassadors in North American history - best known for her work with the European immigrants who landed at Jamestown.

5. Just like any healthy 70-year-old third grader

6. applause line. panderamous.

7. Pocohontas was a psuedonym

as Lawrence O'Donnell educated his viewers during a segment last night. Her tribe did not want her given name known because they were wary/fearful of the English settlers. So they protected her by giving her an alias.

9. Well it worked for the others--

Donnie, our little bully, insulted all of his primary opponents with insulting names, and they all faded from sight. He's only doing the same.

But this one made me really upset, because I really like Ms. Warren and she deserves everyone's respect, not scorn!

[heaven05]

11. he and his knuckle dragging

cretins are such idiots, bigots, racists, sexists......it is REALLY sad what the despicable deplorables voted for. Disgusting people. I had two at the laundry mat yesterday, eyeing me like a fool. I looked right back. He and his wife. Trump bumper stickers, jail Hillary bumper stickers. Both were cowards. I left, because they had all the good dryers occupied so I went to the other mat close by. I couldn't stand their smell or appearance truthfully speaking. Both slovenly disgusting people.

12. Trumps lasting nickname will be

POTUS-haunt-us.

[Zorro]

13. The only insult that will sting Trump is to call him a loser

I urge one and all to do so repeatedly.

[dhill926]

14. yes...specifically, popular vote loser....

[spiderpig]

15. Yes, and to watch the White House Correspondents' Dinner tonight

while the little fraud runs and hides at a "rally"

[Beacool]

16. Like all true narcissists, Trump is a coward at heart.

He's an insecure man-child who fears that at any moment he will be discovered as the inadequate person he truly is. He's aware that he knows very little and couldn't match the intellect and know-how of people like Obama, Hillary and others. Therefore, he comports himself like a school bully. He derides, name calls and insults those who don't agree with him because he can't outwit them with his rhetoric and knowledge, as he has very little of it.
