"He might be an asshole, but he's OUR asshole!"  I totally believe it. Have you seen how the people followed Bonnie and Clyde, back in the day, how they were "Sticking it to the man?".
Believe it or not, I've actually seen that quote (minus the mad face) at an atheist site, made by a defender of that site's enfant terrible. Who really was just a not-grown-up-person.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Better yet, was it even necessary to bring her up at all in a speech honouring the Navajo codetalkers, a subject she has fuck all to do with? Oh, wait, I forgot who I was talking about.
I thought that his doing so in front of the portrait of Andrew Jackson was a nice touch.
What the hell -- if you're going to be a childish asshole, go off script, and needlessly shit yourself, you might as well go all in and use the appropriate props. It's a shame he didn't wear a fringed buckskin jacket, like Custer, when he met with the veterans.
For that matter, it's a shame they didn't give him the Crazy Horse welcome-to-the-Little-Bighorn treatment.

If I understood that reference a-rightly, I feel it my duty to point out that that atheist site's golden rule is "Don't be a dick"; it's not "Don't be an arsehole". Arseholery is permitted.

But that was pretty funny though. He's so childish. That's something I'd do if I were president.
Not racial slurs, just poke fun at people I'm beefing with to make them furious, her reaction is funny.

Well Trump has been using that racist slur for a long time now (and yet he's apparently not a racist?) so what's so special that people react to it now?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Really! I don't fucking care if she is %8 Native American or not. It sounds like she would've gotten her student aid, which was what 40 years ago, regardless.
It's not relevant.

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