he doesn't give two shits about offending Native Americans.
(CNN)Sen. Elizabeth Warren delivered a fiery condemnation of Donald Trump on Tuesday, continuing her role as an unflinching antagonist to the presumptive Republican nominee and leading both high profile politicians to sharply and publicly mock each other.
In a speech at the Center for Popular Democracy's annual gala, the progressive stalwart took aim at Trump's business record and populist rhetoric during a 10-minute invective, and Trump responded by calling Warren "Pocahontas," reviving a 2012 controversy how the Massachusetts senator described her Native American heritage.
Warren portrayed the billionaire real estate mogul as uncaring and dishonest -- picking up on Trump's comments he made about the 2008 financial crisis.
"What kind of a man roots for people to get thrown out of their houses? What kind of a man roots for people to get thrown out of their jobs? To root for people to lose their pensions?" Warren asked.

He can't help himself from responding like a Jr high schooler to slightest insult.

what kind of a real man, it's more of a dig. Especially since he isn't the macho, real man he thinks he is. Remember when that guy tried to charge the stage??? Trump ran behind his body guard like a spoiled, scared little boy. Wasn't about to defend himself like a real man, instinctively. Fuckin sissy.
