Native Americans have every reason to be insulted by him trying to use it as an insult, but I can't think of any other way it's an insult.

It's an insult because it's making fun of her claim. He's certainly not meaning to compliment her.

He’s exhausted his playbook and is doing tired reruns. Pathetic!

could ever hope to be.

(Seriously, Senator Warren’s speech still reflect her Oklahoman upbringing and her Middle American credentials in a way that the scammer in the White House couldn’t hope to match on his best day).

She should have told Trump that she would take a DNA test when he released his taxes to prove he’s a billionaire.

that she'll stake a DNA test when HE does! (That DNA test will get him convicted of RAPING Jean Carroll!)

She needs to tweet that to him!!

He's gone after Gov Whitmer, and Sen E Warren. I don't think he expects Sen Harris because she's from the safe blue California.

If you have assets, all paid for with borrowed money, of $6 billion and liabilities of $8 Million, you are negative $2 billion. That makes you neither a business genius (stable or otherwise), nor a billionaire.

Same with the budget. If Trump borrows $1 trillion from our grandchildren in order to pay for military fantasies now, has he spent our money wisely, or has he spent money that doesn't even exist yet in a foolish manner?
