Jr. Double Dumbs Down On Daddy's Pocahontas Slur

Here's the worst defense of Trump's "Pocahontas" remarks, brought to you by his adult son. The other one. http://bit.ly/2hZTj0m


In an apparent attempt to best his older brother for worst Twitter takes, Eric Trump on Tuesday defended his father’s usage of “Pocahontas” to mock Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) during a White House event honoring Native American veterans a day earlier.

The tweet comes amid widespread condemnation over Trump’s unscripted remarks, which he made while standing in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson. Warren swiftly criticized Trump for the “racial slur,” adding that his attempts to silence her would not work.

The irony of an ABC reporter (whose parent company Disney has profited nearly half a billion dollars on the movie “Pocahontas”) inferring that the name is “offensive” is truly staggering to me.

Truly staggering, indeed.

from being such nightmares?

Shut the hell up! Nobody's paying any attention to you since they're looking into everyone else in your criminal family. If you just keep your head down, you might be able to skate while the rest of your cabal goes down.

One of the late-night comics made the point that maybe your older brother is really the dumber of the two of you. Don't let us change our minds.

Because they figure a Disney movie is the only Pocahontas their cult understands I suppose.

"truly staggers" this idiot. I doubt if he knows that Pocahontas was a real person and a Native American, not just a Disney character.

Hey you inbred looking fuck, he wasn’t using “Pocahontas” as a complement! It was clearly a slur!

He'll have a lot of down time when Mueller's hammer comes down.

Until then, we will continue to grimace and roll our eyes at his catlike reflexes in a doglike world.
