At "bizarre and completely awkward" meeting, Trump discusses Elizabeth Warren's "high cheekbones"

[Miles Archer]

Trump to Dems: 'Pocahontas is now the face of your party'

The sources said the Warren moment came up in the context of the Trump's impromptu analysis of the state of the Democratic Party. Trump made his comments in what appeared to be a reference to Warren's criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during his confirmation process. Her comments prompted Republicans to invoke an arcane rule to cut her off.

The moment galvanized Democrats and has elevated Warren's standing among progressives.

Trump used his pejorative campaign nickname for Warren -- a reference to her claims of having Native American ancestry -- several times during the meeting, which one source described as "equal parts bizarre and completely awkward."

At one point, Trump said the only reason Warren claimed Native American heritage was "because she has high cheekbones," one of the sources said.

They can't stand how effectively she shreds their lies.

8. Obviously President Baby Hands doesn't know what ancestry means

A person can have ancestry from a certain ethnic group without having enough blood (currently) to be a member of that group.

11. Trump said he'd be the president of all Americans.

Trump's made that statement in his election night victory speech. He lied.

It's time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me.

For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people...

(LAUGHTER)

... I'm reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.

First McConnell tells Warren to shut up and sit down on the floor of the Senate and now the President demeans her. This has got to stop!
