Trump Claims Warren Not As Popular As Expected: She Fell Into 'The Pocahontas Trap'

President Trump took another tired dig at Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who has launched a presidential bid against Trump in 2020, by, yet again, poking fun at her heritage.

During an interview with The Daily Caller, Trump was asked who his “dream” candidate to run against in 2020 might be. Trump mocked Warren for not being as popular as “they” expected, suggesting she fell into a some sort of “trap”: “The Pocahontas trap.”

“Well so far a lot of them. I don’t mind. I think that there’s a lot of talk about — it looks like Elizabeth Warren has not caught on like they thought she would. She fell into a trap. It’s called the Pocahontas trap,” he said. “There’s so many of them. The truth is there are some I’d love to run against.”

Trump has mocked Warren countless times for her claims of having traces of Native American heritage with his “Pocahontas” digs. Warren released the results of DNA test last year showing she has a small amount of Native American heritage, the optics of which were criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike.

This is all link has.............

Trump if I were to debate you, my first question to you would be:
Why did you go into a room with Russian agent, and not have someone else from this country with you at the G20, and not tell anyone?

And then my second question to you would be the first again and a again.............to hell with the moderators..............it's about national security. And speaking to a traitor should be dealt with as speaking with a traitor in a debate................nothing more nothing less, treat you like traitor ..................your bigoted remarks are not worth commenting on, treason is the issue..............

Though there is not much to take. She would actually be freeing the poor creature.

is to demean and to debase everyone who opposes him or threatens him (that is, more than half of the country and all of our long-term allies). He is poisoning our country with his hatred and meanness.

We’ll run Jay Inslee instead. He’ll bring you some brownies from a bakery at 2733 4th Ave South in Seattle. About two hours after you eat them all, the debate will begin.

(Google that address. You know it’s necessary.)
