My own theory on Trump vs. Native American peoples

[TXPaganBanker]

Trump has refused to release funds to Native American tribes to fight COVID. First Nation tribal lands are some of the worst hit areas of the country.

It finally hit me. All the blowing up on heritage sites, the selling off national parks for mining (destroying burial sites in the process), the seizing of tribal lands, cancelling tribal charters. It's revenge.

Back in the 80's and early 90's, Trump wanted to open casinos, but had to partner with a Native America tribe to do so. Every single tribe refused to partner with him. After this, he sued the Bureau of Indian Affairs in an attempt to seeking to overturn the federal law allowing "Indian gaming". Trump said that he himself “might have more Indian blood than a lot of the so-called Indians that are trying to open up reservations" (Don Imus Show). His comments were so bad John McCain ordered Trump's comments be added to the Congressional record as an example of “the kind of misinformation and misunderstanding…which have characterized discussions about Indian gaming”.

This is all revenge for them not helping him make and / or launder money back then.

1. Sounds spot on.

2. He is well known for going to great lengths

for revenge when he thinks he’s been wronged. Hell, he cancelled his seriously ill great nephews(?) medical insurance.

8. Yes, and often just mean as a snake toward anyone

her can hurt for the pleasure of it. I've often assumed some of his actions as president must be intended to hurt hapless "people." Both angrily punitive and just because he can. So of course this is extremely likely.

3. "Accidentally" sending body bags instead of Covid supplies

Yeah, sounds like a trump version of a horse head in your bed.

5. sounds entirely plausible knowing what a piece of shit he is...

and that comment about him having more Indian blood than a lot of so-called Indians, and then his attacks on Liz Warren i.e. Pocahontas. He is one sick projecting motherfucker...

6. He is a very petty and vindictive man, this is probably payback in his eyes....

7. Probably so. Good catch!

10. and his second bite at the poison fruit. what was the tribe that they

11. I would not be surprised

It certainly would fit in with Donnie’s known mindset.
