Es raro que el presidente Trump haga referencia a la historia estadounidense, pero cuando lo hace, normalmente es (1) incorrecto o (2) malo.
Considere su tweet el sábado, en el que se burló de la senadora demócrata Elizabeth Warren con una insinuación racista y luego aparentemente hizo referencia al Sendero de las Lágrimas, el genocidio de los nativos americanos del siglo XIX.
"Hoy, Elizabeth Warren, a veces referida por mí como Pocahontas, se unió a la carrera por la presidencia", escribió Trump en Twitter. "¿Se postulará como nuestra primera candidata presidencial de nativos americanos, o ha decidido que después de 32 años, esto ya no está jugando tan bien? ¡Nos vemos en la campaña TRAIL, Liz!
Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined the race for President. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!

Siguiendo la Ley de Remoción de Indios de 1830, miles de nativos americanos fueron detenidos y obligados a mudarse a Oklahoma para vivir con reservaciones. Miles de personas murieron de hambre y enfermedades en el camino.
Los críticos acusaron al presidente de trivializar el genocidio del siglo XIX. Otros, sin embargo, pensaron que el presidente podría ser demasiado tonto para hacer referencia.

Yes, because Trump is noted for his knowledge of 19th century American history vis a vis the native population. Jeez.

Cabe señalar que el presidente Trump ha incluido al presidente Andrew Jackson, quien guió la política, como su héroe. Asi que.
Los críticos del presidente reaccionaron con predecible conmoción y horror en Twitter.

These Trail of Tears jokes? They're mocking actual Cherokee families' pain. You're mocking Stacy's ancestors, my ancestors, and thousands and thousands more. We're survivors of genocide. It's not a joke.

Please stop saying he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He mocked those who were massacred at Wounded Knee and now he is targeting those killed on the Trail of Tears. His racism against Native people is informed and purposeful.

I try to never dignify this man’s tweets, but there is little doubt here that he uses “TRAIL” to evoke the genocidal Trail of Tears, and does so to land a political jab. Warren has taken justifiable heat on this issue—but he used the murders of Indigenous people as a punchline.

I’m just seeing the Trail of Tears tweet. I’m still amazed at all the stupid debates and finger wagging and tut tutting about whether it was proper to call the president racist.

Donald Trump is referencing the Trail of Tears, in which Andrew Jackson forced 16,000 Native Americans to relocate on foot through freezing temperatures. 2,000-8,000 died along the way.

Trump put up a portrait of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. He knows who he is, and likely knows what he did. And even if he didn’t yet know the full history of the Trail of Tears, something called the “Trail of Tears” is usually not something that you use as fodder for a joke.

The joke here is that the Trail of Tears was a genocide. Get it? Get it?

To the people replying to this tweet with like, “he just likes trails! He didn’t say anything about trail of tears even though he capped it to draw attention to it,” maybe you should explain that to Trump’s son bit.ly/2E1PMdA pic.twitter.com/HdVm6U23zh

"Las respuestas enojadas de la gente en Twitter" podrían ser la única forma de reprimenda que el presidente recibirá por esta broma aparente.
I’m tired of living in a society where there will be no consequence for the fucking President making a joke about the Trail of Tears.
