Do you honestly and truly believe this? Even with his racist history and attacks on Elizabeth Warren?
After this?
The amount of comments like this in this thread are embarrassing.
Good point, but it just seems like the kind of reference that you wouldn't make. It's like, evil. But I guess this is the sick world we live in....
This is why I get so frustrated when Dems want to tear down Warren and laugh at her for her DNA testing gaffe. Trump is out here being blatantly racist but she made a slight political miscalculation so "to hell with her she's finished".
It's absurd that he isn't being called out more harshly for this. Nah let's just dunk on Warren because Republicans have no standards.

No. I'm not defending Trump. I'm sorry I gave you that impression.
You don't think trump is capable of evil? The same guy that proposed banning all Muslims from entering the country, launched his campaign by calling Mexicans rapists and murderers, put in policies designed specifically to separate families and put children in camps, reneged on discrimination protections for LGBT federal workers, and so much more?
The fuck?
Do you see why you gave that impression? You know, with all the rationalizing and blaming Warren for what Trump said...?
As this thread has already mentioned, motherfucker's got an Andrew Jackson portrait in the oval office, and has openly shown disdain for Native Americans in the past and present.
Why is it so hard for you to believe? Why are you so ready to give him the benefit of the doubt? You can be incredibly stupid AND incredibly racist (and arguably genocidal), as Trump has proven time and time again.
Yeah, it just seems that directly relating campaigning to genocide is an all new low. I actually feel sick that this type of shit is ok. We are going backwards aren't we?! Wtf is wrong with the US? Is it religion? Is I the bad schools? Wtf is wrong with people to allow this?
I wasn't giving the benefit of the doubt, moreso just thougu subtle references in general were too much for the putz.
For real. She's not going to be defeated by Trump for this. Trump will just latch on to this relatively non issue until people tire of it and dig a bigger and bigger racist hole each week.
Orange #1 does not simply understand/care what he says. And this probably is just what his base wants to hear.
It's not clever nor subtle, but this is Trump.
B-b-but what if he's talking about Trails in the Sky? Eh? Maybe he's a yugeeee XSEED fan. EH? It's a possibility!!!

Indeed. He knows nothing.
But in capitals...... i dunno. He might know this one.
Perhaps you two should re-read the thread, the linked tweets, and other supporting information as to why Trump is not ignorant to what he is saying, is doing it on purpose, and continues to be a despicable racist piece of sub human excrement
Some of Donald's tweets first go through Miller or an equally deplorable aide. The text gets workshopped a bit before it's tweeted out. In instances like this, Donald is aware of what's being tweeted and he approves.
No it is.
He's a known admirer of Andrew Jackson. He's regularly makes derogatory comments about Native Americans and NA history.
He knows actually what he is doing. Stop giving him a pass.
dude that implies trump is some super mastermind who switches between his rallies to some half wink wink half play the ppl wink sort of subtle messaging. I just dont see it. He simply just says stupid stuff without realizing it . Occam's razor. The guys is a gifted sales person I'll give him that but hes a in your face salesperson not some diabolical mastermind .... cause if He can pull both of those off then I would have to say bravo to him which I highly highly highly doubt.
I mean, isn't Occam's Razor in this instance mean that Trump is making a racist pun? He's already said racist shit his whole life, he already made references to Pocahontas and Wounded Knee, and as bone-headed as it is, he tends to capitalise words for emphasis, not entirely at 'random'. He's emphasising the pun.
WHY AM I DEBATING THIS!?
I can't wait until the next trail of tears which will be when he and his family get their asses hauled off to jail and their entire fortune repossessed by the government.
he doesnt make puns he straight out says racist insentitive comments or equivocates. Him making some pun is giving him too much credit.
EDIT : ill ask you this someone who after charlottesville kept going both sides you expect that guy to make some pun with capitalization on twitter?
"Mastermind". Trail of tears isn't some obscure historical event. A lot of really stupid people know basic history.
These two things aren't mutually exclusive. You're either not all that bright or (more likely) are doing this on purpose
Yup, It's like Kristallnacht, most people know the general gist but not the details and use it as jokes and other bullshit.
Well Im not american but this seems giving too much credit to him imo but Im no authority on the subject.
im perfectly bright and im not doing this on purpose but as I said its my opinion. Dont insult another posters intelligence cause you perceive things one way next time maybe.
Neither am I, but the connection was there the second I read that tweet.
Reference to Native Americans ---> Reference to TRAIL (capitalized)
Edit. And this was with basic high school history of America.
Your opinion being that trump is incapable of making racist pun based jokes to play to his base and shit on native americans? Based on him being an idiotic public speaker?
Why?
It doesn't take a mastermind to know about the trail of tears holy shit
Edit: ah, not American — they teach this in US grade school
hes a very off the cuff sort of person he doesnt do subtle . Hes in your face. I think thats got lost given weve gotten used to him over the past 2 years . The man simply speaks his mind (as disturbing/racist/inappropriate etc as it may be) ... Hes not some complex person. He literally spells out his strategy. Its to bully you. Hes up front about it.
Yes, this tweet was not complex — very up front about the reference.
The messaging in the tweet isn't subtle.
Why is Donald signing the 'H' here when he says Barack H. Obama?
I doubt he just made this joke up out of the blue. He's been waiting to use this line for a while now, just had to wait for her to announce her intention to run for President. He's the pettiest motherfucker alive.
I also don't think he made the joke up, but knew damn well what he was doing. Probably got it from Stephen Miller or some equally contemptible piece of shit.

it could be youreright and given other posts on thsi maybe me not being american is making me miss this . I normally get the other inferences here . As I said its very possible im misunderstanding this due to me not being american etc. Also maybe i just have a even lower expectation of his messaging than others.
And you think he never received help nor crowd sources his tweet ideas from his racist colleagues. You think someone that admires and reveres Jackson and has previous with native Americans regarding him wanting to open a casino, who happily references previous battles with native Americans and uses Pocahontas as a slur toward Warren, isn't in fact absolutely making a pun joke using TRAILS and the Trail of Tears and did it by accident or something?
I'm kind of worried about the magnitude of the revenge he's going to get on Pelosi one day. :|

Why is Donald signing the 'H' here when he says Barack H. Obama?
I simply dont give trump that much credit I guess. H is Barrack's middle name . what am I missing here? Is the H supposed to be the H for his islamic sounding middle name? If so thats just him reminding ppl of the birther movement . Which Trump has a long history of.
Oh if itssomeone else on his team absolutely. Miller comes to mind always . On him no dont give him credit but yes def someone else on his team absolutely agree.
This is not subtle in any way.
Like how is it subtle if thousands if not millions are making the connection without breaking some complex code. Just read the tweet and it is there.
