CNN's latest melt. Trump mocking Native American genocide my making fun of Liz Warren

President Donald Trump can't merely slur Elizabeth Warren with the nickname "Pocahontas" anymore. That's old hat. To effectively torment and tease her, he now seems to feel compelled to throw in an allusion to shameful episodes from US history. This weekend, it was a not-subtle allusion to the Trail of Tears -- the forced migration of American Indians from Mississippi to present-day Oklahoma -- to poke fun at Warren on the occasion of her official 2020 campaign kickoff. Insensitive by design, Trump set the scene by calling Warren "Pocahontas" and then drove the point home with an all-caps, "See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz" sneer.

Coincidence? Did he just accidentally capitalize those words? Hopefully not, since Trump should know this history. While the Obama administration sought to take Andrew Jackson off the $20 bill, Trump put a portrait of Jackson, whose Indian Removal Act led to the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, in the Oval Office.
And the best part

And in case anyone didn't get the joke, his son Don Jr. shared it and added "Savage!!! I love my President."

What are longer odds, her chances of winning or her supposed Native American parentage?

I love how they tried to link Don Jr's savage comment as a direct reference to Indians

What did I tell you folks, yesterday?

There is no defense for this, so their only play is to refer to it as yesterday's news. Or get some chief to say nice things.
Now all they have to do is get some "chief" to forgive her, and I'll have hit for the cycle.
But hilariously, the more they make it about "native American suffering," they just make Warren look worse for fraudulently pretending to be one to get ahead.

This is offensive? As opposed to comparing Trump to Hitler?

A higher chance they meet in Oregon Trail than the presidential trail.
