> [@Colibri](#): > > -Elizabeth Warren believed she had some Cherokee ancestry based on family legend. She might be 1/32 Cherokee. She believed she might be a Native American because of the family legend claiming that her great-great-great-grandparent might be a cherokee?? Jesus H Christ, what’s wrong with that woman…I might have accidentally had a drink once many years ago at a party, but I don’t go around claiming to be an alcoholic… Trump’s treatment of Warren reminds one of that parent and a child… It’s like if your child all over sudden starts claiming to be a dog, maybe because he saw a cartoon, where a canine hero was wearing the same t-shirt as him. Sure, some parents would slap that silliness right out of the kid, but Trump is at once both gentle and understanding, basically saying:“c’mon, my little riesenschnauzer, stop this nonsense”. ---

By the way, does anyone know if Pocahontas continues to persist with her silly claims, or will Dad have to resort to sterner measures? ---

_Trump Entrepreneur Initiative_, I would remind, is the corrected and updated cognomen. The Donald erred in defining his brilliant concept in such a mundane and banal term as a “university”, this oversight has been adjusted appropriately. ---

> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > Sterner measures? Like what. … claiming she has cooties with no take backs? Well, when Mr. Trump becomes President (I’m using “when” and not “if” here, following yesterday’s press-conference where a member of the press inquired whether Mr. Trump is going to treat press in the same manner **when** he’s the President and Mr. Trump replied with curt “Yes, it is going to be like this, David” to the visible horror of assembled media hacks), it would behoove Senator Warren to behave in a more responsible manner, and she could start by being less confused about who she is. President Trump could easily issue an executive order, requiring any Senate committee hearings , where any Cherokee senators are present, to start with the cherokee pipe ceremony with Cherokee Senator in question being first obligated to smoke the number of bowls, equal to the number of Senators present, before the hearings can proceeed. Poor Liz won’t be able to attend any hearings… It’s bad enough we have a leading Democratic presidential challenger [who’s easily confused and needs a lot of hand-holding](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3320900/Newly-released-email-shows-aide-Huma-Abedin-warned-colleagues-Hillary-confused-needed-hand-holding-calls-foreign-leaders.html), we also have to deal with another ugly old senile progressive hag, who doesn’t even know who she is… ---
