Trump mocks video of Warren with her husband


President Trump on Sunday night mocked a video of Democratic presidential contender Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) by saying the video would have been a "smash" if she filmed it in "Bighorn or Wounded Knee," a reference to her Native American heritage.

Trump suggested that Warren's husband, who appears in the video, should have worn "full Indian garb."

The president also revamped the racially insensitive nickname he has used for Warren: Pocahontas.

"If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash!" Trump tweeted.

I think he's just doing it to feel good. Tear everyone down and feel like a big man.

He has no idea how he looks to most of us out here. And hopefully more and more of his cult will see it, too.

So, this should come as no surprise. Of course, like a Steve King he would either be defiant about the comment or pretend it was merely a light-hearted joke.

No one's laughing.

probably pats himself on the back for being so clever. But he is nothing of the sort. He is the anti-Andy Borowitz. He is the least witty, urbane person on the planet and is completely blind to his own idiocy.

" Trump himself claimed, wrongly, to be of Swedish heritage as least until 1987 — he wrote in The Art of the Deal that his grandfather had come to the U.S. from Sweden. Actually, The Boston Globe reported last year and Axios recalled on Monday, Trump's father, Fred Trump, made up the Swedish ancestry after World War II so he wouldn't have problems selling apartments to Jewish buyers on account of his German heritage. "

He mocks only what terrifies him. Elizabeth Warren is simply the latest example. He's forced to disparage what he fears because he has no logical or legitimate arguments. He's a weak, ignorant. small, pitiful man.
