People Are Extremely Uncivil After Trump Revives ‘Pocahontas’ Insult, Then Mocks #MeToo
Ross A. Lincoln and Phil Hornshaw, The Wrap 13 hours ago Civility was the last thing on Trump critics’ minds Thursday night after a rally where the president brought back his “Pocahontas” insult for Sen. Elizabeth Warren and made fun of the #MeToo movement.
During a speech in Montana, Trump started insulting several political opponents, including the Massachusetts senator, saying he wants to give her a DNA test. “I’m going to get one of those little DNA kits and if I’m debating her, we will toss it to her, very gently so it doesn’t injure her arm,” said Trump. “And we’ll say, ‘Pocahontas, I’ll give you a million dollars if you take the test to show you’re an Indian!'”
Trump continued with joke at the expense of #MeToo: “We will take that little kit, but we have to do it gently because we’re in the “Me Too” generation so I have to be very gentle. We will slowly toss it, hoping it doesn’t hit her and injure her arm.”

Trump also said congresswoman Maxine Waters has an IQ in the “mid-60s,” and said that Sen. Jon Tester’s criticisms of White House doctor Ronny Jackson were “shameful, dishonest attacks.” Trump is in Montana campaigning for Democrat Tester’s Republican opponent.

Warren, originally from Oklahoma, says that her mother’s family has Native American ancestry but maintains she never sought to benefit from it academically or professionally. Trump started calling her “Pocahontas” during the 2016 election campaign.

Actually, if anyone here did belong, it would be NONE of YOUR business.
SP, How in the hell was this a "sweeping generalization". I clearly asked a question, not lump a large group of people. Seems like definitions change according to the mods wants around here...
It doesn't say it's a 'sweeping,' it just says 'deleted.'
That's not what it says...
Right side of the screen.. --------------------------->
Donald Trump says multiple horrible things every single day. So many that it is impossible to even keep track of them. It is hysterical that Elizabeth Warren has been highly visible in politics for half of her life, but the only thing that her detractors can attack her on is this one stupid issue. Donald Trump can't even attack her on this one single issue without insulting the very people that he is pretending to defend.
The problem is that Trump doesn't get the joke right. It's Fauxcahontas, not Pocahontas.
She's a fraud and that's what should be emphasized.
No, it's fauxpascahontas. Your French sucks. lol
Another Warren basher who won’t provide an explanation? Are you BF’s protege now?
I thought that polls were phony? You mean there not...Better start telling the righties on NT that claim that polls are fake.
What I said was, Trump calling Warren Pocahontas, is an insult to all American Indians, because the true story of her is noting like the Disneyland version. Perhaps you should take the time to look it up and increase your knowledge on that subject. I did not say anything about Warren and her claims of being American Indian. And it seems that Rebecca went after Warren and her claim of being NA. Not the phony story of Pocahontas.
Trump thinks he's on the Blue Collar Comedy tour with Larry the Cable Guy. The thing is, when Larry the Cable guy says something stupid or insensitive, it's expected, he's preaching to his Hee-Haw crowd. When Trump says something stupid and insensitive, he's also preaching to the Hee-Haw crowd but he's supposed to be the President of the whole United States and is supposed to represent all of us. The fact is, he doesn't even represent a majority of America, just the lowest common denominator third who have rejected reason, logic and sense and cling to ignorant protectionist bigotry and the demonization of anyone that doesn't look or worship like they do. That is Trump's base and they're the only ones laughing when he makes fun of the disabled, native Americans or women standing up for themselves against sexual assault and abusers like Trump.
Trump once again slams Americans, then turns around and praises Putin.....and once again, his supporters cheer his disgusting behavior.
"New research shows why people might feel good about characters who do bad things."
“Villains aren’t just immoral. They’re good at being bad,”
“What’s happening here is that we’re not making isolated judgments about these characters using some objective standard of morality,” says Grizzard. “We’re constantly making comparisons about these characters and the forces they face.”
With Walter White, for example, the audience sees the evolution of a character whose ethics progressively spiral downward from season to season, and yet audiences remained loyal to him. That loyalty surprised Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan.
Gilligan said in an interview that at some point he thought the audience would turn against the character . But Grizzard points out that the show’s antagonists concurrently get worse along with White.
“We see a trend where White is not decreasing by himself. There’s likely to be a constant comparison with other characters ,” says Grizzard. “So White is probably benefiting from the comparisons the audience is making.”
Grizzard says it’s a polarization effect . The hero seems better when compared to the villain, while the villain seems worse when viewed in light of the hero."
I think we're watching in real time once moral people rooting for the antithesis of everything they stood for because they did a comparison between Trump and the straw man Hillary that was created by Republicans and the Russians during the campaign, one of Hillary running satanic child sex rings, assassinating staffers, and selling uranium to the Russians, none of which were true, but allowed the supposed "moral" Christian right to cheer for the lesser of two evils, Trump. Sadly, Trump is as bad as we thought while Hillary was just stupid and wasn't able to combat the tsunami of false press and media.
While I don't think she's actually stupid, she did make some behemoth blunders and wasn't really the best Democrats could have picked. She was betting on the belief that she should be the first woman President and factually she was fairly qualified, but had way too much baggage to attempt such a feat. She should have counted on the Republicans using the dirty tactics they always use to try and win, though I'm sure she didn't see it coming from an enemy foreign government siding and coordinating with an American political party to secure the white house. That was a new low.
I read that as well, and for the record, probably one of the best shows ever on telly.
He also said that he had to have at least some level of humor in the show or people would simply not watch it because it would be far too dark. But I digress. Most trump supporters, in my opinion have become so disillusioned with the establishment of BOTH parties, they decided to take a chance on trump. Now that he is in office, ego prevents a LOT of people admitting that voting for him was a mistake. I have several friends that voted for trump, none of them admits now that it was a good choice. No one wants to admit that they are wrong, I think that has a lot to do with why he still has (some) support.
I used to watch The Apprentice... Not a bad show actually. And when trump said he was running for president, I thought, "Hmmm, I liked the show, and he is successful, maybe I could vote for him..."
A week later, after doing some research and listening to the constant flow of shit coming out of his mouth, I decided no way in hell I could vote for him. No one I know of says Hillary was the perfect candidate, but she would have been a MILLION times better than this POS we are now stuck with.
I watched the show a couple of times. Even then he would say one thing and do another. Could never be trusted.
The moral of the story, or...show, as I took it, is that eventually, drugs will destroy you, and your family. Of course, that's a very simplistic way of looking at it. So yes, you can never trust a drug dealer.
Oh, sorry, I meant the apprentice.
I can't understand why any woman would even think about voting for any Republican, let alone Trump. But then, I can't understand why any people who call themselves Christians would support them either.
What about the groping allegations? Do you think they are lying, even when we have Trump on tape admitting that he attacks women in exactly the same way his accusers say he attacked them? If you don't think they are lying, how can you not be strongly against a man like this holding the power of the presidency? I'm just trying to understand. I can't grasp how anyone can be neutral about Trump given all the extreme and unprecedented (for a president) things he's said and done.
