Navaho woman when I was a mental health counselor for the Air Force. Amazing young lady. I hope she and her family are doing well.

He was supposed to be honoring them and he made it all about him, talking about Pocahontas and on and on. I thought the Navajo Code Talker stood there with such dignity but I was imagining what was going through his head. I was ashamed for our country because Trump had no shame. Trump treats the government as something to enrich himself and the power to stroke his ego. If he couldn't make money off of you, you better get ready to kiss his ass and stroke his ego to get what was due you already allocated by Congress. The trouble with the power of the purse being congress's to allocate but the executive department held the strings as to when and how to disburse it - like the funds to fight Covid to the tribes, FEMA money for Puerto Rico, wildfire money to the West Coast and the assistance money to Ukraine. Safeguards were never really built into things like this because it was never imagined that an American President would stoop so low to misuse them in this way.

Trump in 2016 is one of the reasons I moved to a Native Agency. A sovereign nation. They all hate Trump. I can’t think of one Native I know that would have voted for him
As a side benefit not one of my non native colleagues voted for him either
It’s like living and working in a blue country
