Trump makes “Pocahontas” crack at Navajo WWII veterans’ event

As offensive and dipshitty as it is, is it at all surprising that Trump would slip in a racist slam against a political opponent during an event supposedly commemorating Native American WWII vets? (It’s a rhetorical question.)

President Donald Trump, during an event at the White House honoring Navajo code talkers Monday, referenced his nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, "Pocahontas," a label he has long used about the Massachusetts Democrat.

"I just want to thank you because you are very, very special people. You were here long before any of us were here," Trump said. "Although, we have a representative in Congress who has been here a long time ... longer than you -- they call her Pocahontas!"

He then turned to one of the code talkers behind him, put his left hand on the man's shoulder and said: "But you know what, I like you. You are special people."

Trump did not name Warren.

The comment, met with silence from event attendees, revives an insult the President has long thrust upon Warren but restated during a high-profile meeting with the Native American war heroes.

He just can’t keep his inner racist child quiet for more than five minutes at a time, can he. (That’s also rhetorical.)
