Pocahontas

Well there he goes again.  Donald Trump keeps calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas.  It's not that the daughter of a Powhatan chief, closely associated with Illegal English immigrants to our shores is someone to be ashamed of and neither is Elizabeth Warren who when compared to most of us and to Donald in particular, seems spectacular.  But Donald thinks it's funny and Donald doesn't care that he looks like a bigoted oaf and blowhard and ignoramus.  In fact he gloats at how that earns him the loyalty of what we used to call "the ugly American."

I would hate to have Ms. Clinton lower herself by responding in kind, but I don't see why I can't.  I would suggest calling him Shitting Bull, but on reflection will refrain out of respect for that great Lakota leader. So on second thought perhaps it's better to let him go on, digging his own grave, deeper and deeper. We can shovel in the dirt later.

  1. Donald Trump’s daughter is married to an orthodox Jew, and Ivana herself is a convert to Judaism. A historical footnote: Mussolini's mistress was Jewish, yet he allied with Hitler. Donald has not condemned the anti-Semitism of supporters such as David Duke and the KKK. Why not! How strange.

  3. If Rumpletrumpskin is really a bigot, it's only for a perceived gain. Everything he says and does and says he did is about what he sees in it for him. A guy who jokes about his daughter's breasts, who jokes about "dating" her isn't a man worth analyzing in my opinion. I have a hard time even thinking of him as human.
