5 years of political scapegoating and it all started at the press conference dinner when the "Secret Muslim from Kenya" bruised his ego. 

He's going after Warren now because he is afraid to run against her. But this is how the sick fuck operates. To him this is all his personal Jerry Springer episode. 

He's even gone after McCain's service. He's shit on the very intel he now has to rely on. This was the very instability Russia wanted to create. 

Now he shits on WW2 vets and Natives both at the same time. 

I really don't understand how anyone with any lick of human decency can support such a fucking dick.

I don't know, do you rather be an insensate dunce in Trump's clown show instead?

Not racial slurs, just poke fun at people I'm beefing with to make them furious, her reaction is funny.

That's what I was thinking.  I'm not convinced this is a racial slur, but what it undoubtedly is, is a Jab at Warren. The problem is, a ceremony honoring Native American vets is NOT THE PLACE to poke fun at your opponents. That's why this is insulting, that he yet again has to make it about him and his politics, instead of about the people he's supposedly there for. That orange twat has no sense of decorum.

Ok now i saw the video of it. He's an asshole but he manages to have disorganized speech patterns while he's at it. How the hell did this incompetent fool get 40 some percent of the country to vote for him?

While I am for a free press and for free speech, I will say we have had a flood of garbage for decades. Long before Jerry Springer you had Morton Downey, then the rise in popularity of "reality TV" with garbage like "The Real World".  WWE , tabloid magazines, and crappy networks like "Farts News".

NO, you are not going to get rid of all of it. But all that cheap quick satisfaction I really do think has created a very shallow political environment. 

I do however see more and more getting tired of this.

He used it in front of native Americans on an occasion meant to honor them?

It's offensive in any occasion. Saying it on twitter is saying it in public because Natives see it.

Now, they're getting tired of what?... This is what they wanted! Reality show government.

Are we sure that he’s not dwarfed by those presidents who were in office while blatant racism was still acceptable?

He didn't.

The incompetent fool got some 19.4 percent of the country to vote for him.

Clinton got 20.3%.

The remaining 60.3% were either too old or too young... or were ineligible to vote because they'd been in prison on some trumped up drug offence.

This low turn-out, btw, the keen-eyed will have noticed, is the weakness in the gerrymandering tactic.
