It was already lowered beyond belief when Obama used the IRS to attack conservative groups and literally bowed before foreign leaders. Everything else is just gravy now.Originally Posted by Androidpk

Trump has already outdone Obama in that department.
In using the IRS as an attack tool and bowing to foreign leaders?

Debasing the office of the presidency.
So using the IRS to attack political opponents and bowing to foreign leaders is worse than referring to a white woman who lied about being Native America as "Pocahontas"?
Honestly why hasn't Warren been run out of DC for her cultural appropriation crimes?
Oh yeah. Democrat.

The White House is trying to argue that the nickname "Pocahontas" is "not a racial slur" against Native Americans after President Donald Trump used it Monday as an insult during a ceremony honoring the Navajo code talkers.
Native Americans do not agree.
"Pocahontas is used a racial slur in the United States all the time," Andrew Curley, a postdoctoral fellow in geography at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a citizen of the Navajo Nation, told Newsweek
"I grew up with these kinds of remarks. It's not the name itself but the way it's used. Trump is using it to attack Senator [Elizabeth] Warren and belittle Native Americans at the same time. I take it as a personal insult."
also..
Pocahontas is a well-known historical figure who bridged her own Pamunkey Tribe in present-day Virginia with the British in the 1600s. But the National Congress of American Indians says Trump wrongly has flipped the name into a derogatory term, and the comment drew swift criticism from American Indians and politicians.
The Navajo Nation suggested Trump's remark Monday was an example of "cultural insensitivity" and resolved to stay out of the "ongoing feud between the senator and President Trump."
"All tribal nations still battle insensitive references to our people. The prejudice that Native American people face is an unfortunate historical legacy," Navajo Nation President Russell Begaye said in a statement.
Again with the, "But the Democrats!"

I think it's worse when you pretend to be of Native American decent for the sole purpose of self promotion.
I know, I know.... Elizabeth Warren feels like she's part Native American.. so therefore we should just let her.

I agree it was absurd of Warren to do that but why on Earth did Trump feel the need to say that shit while honoring Native Americans? Is it too much to ask him to at least pretend to act presidential? Also, him standing in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson was just ridiculous.
I completely agree. I think he's doing harm to the Presidency and himself by this type of stupidity.
The only saving grace to this Presidency is that at least it's not Hillary.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Tuesday said President Trump insulted the sacrifice of Native American veterans when he made a "Pocahontas" crack at a White House ceremony honoring them.
"Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Navajo Code Talkers, whose bravery, skill & tenacity helped secure our decisive victory over tyranny & oppression during WWII," McCain tweeted.
"Politicizing these genuine American heroes is an insult to their sacrifice."
