So she's clearly shot herself in the foot with this.Don's supporters will be loving it, he'll have a new nickname for her now as she's not even Pocahontas anymore...
And the side-show of distraction from the real problems will continue.

She would have no chance anyway imo. If Trump runs for a second term I think the one to beat him is Biden.
Biden is quite old though, 75 now. I know Trump isn’t much younger at 72 but surely there is someone who’s not a geriatric that fits the bill?If I were of that vintage with that much money there is no way I’d be applying for a job that offers extremely long hours, the risk of assassination and the removal of any private life. Nuts.

Current favourite for the Democrat ticket is John Delaney, white, male, 55, former stock broker, currently represents a district in Maryland. A very safe choice to try to win disaffected swing voters whilst not upsetting the democrat voters.
If the Democrats want to field an unorthodox candidate they have Andrew Yang who is a bit more liberal but still quite inoffensive. However I think it'll be a three way between more traditional candidates, John Delaney, Harry Braun and Rocky De La Fuente with Delaney winning the candidacy. I think America has had enough of crazy candidates and just wants an average president.

Harvard are going to look a bit stupid now, seeing as they touted her as an example of the minorities they employed. If it turns out she used her "heritage" to advance her career then that's any chance of a Presidential campaign torpedoed.[snip]

“Sears has been dying for many years,” Trump told reporters as he departed the White House on Monday to inspect hurricane damage in Florida. “It’s been obviously improperly run for many years and it’s a shame.”
Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin was a member of Sears’s board from 2005 until December 2016, and before that was a director for K-Mart Corp., which was acquired by Sears in 2005.
Only the best people...

The promise is null and void though - she doesn't appear to be a Native America descendant based on bloodline or by culture so he hasn't got to pay. If she could produce statement from a tribe leader backing her or more evidence then Trump might have a problem but so far, she's not produced enough evidence. It's dumb things like this that play into Trump's hands, allow him to call them "lyin' demon(c)rats" etc

So why, when questioned did he state that he didn't say it and told reporters to go and check what they read. It's dumb things like this that play into Trump's hands, allow him to call them "lyin' demon(c)rats" etc
Ignoring the fact that there is a video of him saying if she got a DNA test and it said she was of native american descendent he would pay 1 mil to a charity of her choice.
She followed the terms of his statement, she got the DNA test....it showed she is a native american descendent (6-10 generations back).
It is of no great surprise that DJT would not pay his debts though, he much prefers running up the debt. US FED deficit up 17% in 2018 alone. I am also sure he enjoys the Debt to GDP ratio of 105%. ITS A BIGGLIER NUMBER ITS GOOD RIGHT!?

Do you not understand that every time the stock market goes up it pays off the national debt?!!! 
Well someone thinks so, anyway.

How they moved money from his charity to his organisation

The money that was destined for a childrens cancer charity - apparently
https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2017/06/...
How the foundation engaged in “persistently illegal conduct” through “repeated and willful self-dealing transactions,” treating the charity as “little more than a checkbook” for Trump’s business interests, while “directors failed to meet basic fiduciary duties,” making the foundation “little more than an empty shell.”
Thats taken from the court filing: https://www.vox.com/2018/6/14/17464010/trump-found...
Noone should be surprised that he makes these grand gestures then rapidly backtracks. In 2016 during the campaign he promised $1m to veterans charity which he eventually paid, having tried ot backtrack out of that.

The Cherokee leadership come across as a little bit racist. Marry anyone outside of the tribe and your'e out on your ear, dilute the gene pool and your out on your ear. No wonder it chimes well with Trump.
Dilute who's gene pool ?
