Trump referred to the TRAIL in a tweet on Warren. Once again, he’s a bigot – and Trump, Jr. is proud of it.

1) President makes joke about a time the US government killed thousands of Native Americans 2) People point out he did that 3) President’s son applauds president for doing that 4) Fox guy mocks people for suggesting president is knowledgeable enough to do that https://t.co/wTrx20X8Ll

There is no way that Donald Trump, who talks about how much he loves Andrew Jackson all the time, does not know about the Trail of Tears. There is no other interpretation of this tweet that I understand. He is making a joke about genocide against Native Americans. https://t.co/71DuX0mhy0

The president's use of the word trail in all caps is a potential reference to the Trail of Tears, the forced relocation of Native Americans from their homelands to reservations in Oklahoma in the 1800s. https://t.co/TJ4mgmAvZY

When the President of the United States does it, Republicans celebrate him.
We hold children to higher standards than we hold the President of the United States.

If you thought Trump was too historically ignorant to joke about genocide, think again. pic.twitter.com/OjHkg54VmJ

That this racist joking about the Trail of Tears comes from the President is awful. That 66,000 people (and counting) liked it might be even more depressing. https://t.co/Av0p4HZTWN

I try to never dignify this man’s tweets, but there is little doubt here that he uses “TRAIL” to evoke the genocidal Trail of Tears, and does so to land a political jab. Warren has taken justifiable heat on this issue—but he used the murders of Indigenous people as a punchline. https://t.co/LiyK2iruDF

To conservatives defending Trump's Native American-themed taunts toward Elizabeth Warren as mockery of her shaky claims of being NA: If a candidate had misrepresented himself as Jewish, would you say it's fine to mockingly refer to him as "Shlomo" & make jokes about ovens?
