Donald Trump is just like a drunk, who when in his cups makes all kinds of extravagant promises which he has no intention of keeping and promptly forgets about them. Then, in the awful light of day, when people remind him of what he said and did, he needs to figure out a way to mitigate the damage. On July 5, Trump was at a rally in Great Falls, Montana and he made a promise to Elizabeth Warren to donate $1Million dollars to a charity of her choice if she proved her Native American ancestry. Take a listen.

Sounds like Hitler, doesn’t he, bashing “the man who said he was born in Scotland, but he was really born in Puerto Rico?” There’s no dog whistle there, it’s more like a foghorn.
Be that as it may, Trump said what he said on tape, but today, he recanted and reframed the conditions under which he would pay the $1Mil.
We all know why @realDonaldTrump makes creepy physical threats about me, right? He’s scared. He’s trying to do what he always does to women who scare him: call us names, attack us personally, shrink us down to feel better about himself. It may soothe his ego – but it won’t work. pic.twitter.com/2rfPSlvlQA

As you can see, Trump has entirely reframed the issue: “if” she gets the nomination, “if” they debate, and “if” he gets to do the test personally — and that’s the clincher. I’m sure Elizabeth Warren wouldn’t let Donald Trump touch her beyond a hand shake. Maybe not even that.
He calls Warren a con in his tweets, but he’s the con.
Pocahontas (the bad version), sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren, is getting slammed. She took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, “DNA test is useless.” Even they don’t want her. Phony!

Now that her claims of being of Indian heritage have turned out to be a scam and a lie, Elizabeth Warren should apologize for perpetrating this fraud against the American Public. Harvard called her “a person of color” (amazing con), and would not have taken her otherwise!

Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!

Fraud, con, not to mention “horseface” was aimed this morning at Stormy Daniels. Trump had quite the twitter tirade. I agree with Warren, I think he’s scared.
Ocasio-Cortez is going to be the thorn in Hairball’s side. You go Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, we are with you.
