On Saturday, President Donald Trump gave a free-wheeling rally style speech in front of the Nevada Republican Party convention in which talk turned to nicknames and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who he has repeated dubbed Pocahontas.
It all started when he was playing with the crowd telling them that he has a nickname for Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV)s challenger, Jacky Rosen. After teasing the crowd and suggesting he shouldnt say the name, he then, predictably blurted it out: Wacky Jacky.
The President of the United States then said he thought somebody said shes in Nevada right now campaigning with Pocahontas. Shes campaigning with Elizabeth Warren sometimes referred to as Pocahontas.
Trump then said this about the call for him to apologize to Warren for calling her Pocahontas: They wanted me to apologize. No. I did, though, I did apologize to Pocahontasto the memory of Pocahontas I apologized. No, Wacky Jackie is campaigning with Pocahontas, you believe this in your state and they dont know how to say Nevada. They dont know how to say it.

(6,212 posts)he is definitely full blown crazy. He seems to be reverting back to how you act in third grade and call other kids by childish, stupid names. He has to go ASAP if our country is to survive.

Yes, he DOES belong in a mental institution, but there would be another 30-40 million there with him if that was our defining criteria.
It's simple: he's NOT mentally competent and CERTAINLY not qualified to be in the position of the most powerful person on the earth.
I said he was running his campaign like he would if he were running for Junior High President (don't we wish that was the title he has now?).
You ARE correct - the sooner he is gone - the better chance we have to "Make America Great Again - pre-2017!"

I watched the video and they cheered for another one of his racist ramblings.
A monster will not cease to exist as long as it's still fed. The GOP gladly feeds the monster. They are just as bad.

(3,169 posts)It shows how far weve regressed that the President of the United States is calling sitting Senators childish names. If Obama or Hillary had done that, the right wing would have positively lost their collective shit. When will this madness end??

(42,009 posts)He reminds me of an out of control child who spins faster and faster until something terrible stops him. In children its a kind of fantasy of omnipotence and a desperate need for someone to assert control. Without that control and with means to do harm that becomes incredibly dangerous.
