Pocahontas Takes a Scalp!

Donald John Trump, a man who lies with almost every sound that he utters, is still at it.

Last July 5th at one of his campaign style rallies, Trump was taking issue with Senator Elizabeth Warren's claim that she has some Native American ancestry.  Trump had long mocked the senator, as well as our nation's Native American population, by referring to her as "Pocahontas."  During his July 5th harangue, he took his bullying a step further and challenged the senator to get her DNA tested to prove once and for all if she was a descendant of Native Americans or not.  Trump told that crowd:

"I will give you (Sen. Warren) a million dollars, to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian."   He then added, "I have a feeling she will say 'no.' " 
But Senator Warren accepted the challenge and had her DNA analyzed.  Yesterday she released the results which showed that she does indeed have American Indian ancestry - and she tweeted this reminder to Trump about his boastful challenge:

"By the way, @realDonaldTrump: Remember saying on 7/5 that you'd give $1M to a charity of my choice if my DNA showed Native American ancestry? I remember -- and here's the verdict. Please send the check to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center." 
To which Trump, never the gent and always the liar, responded:

"I didn't say that. You'd better read it again."
George Washington, he ain't!
