President Donald Trump is struggling to plan his grand spectacles without highlighting his fraught relationship with people of color

But tribal leaders tell a different story. The National Congress of American Indians, which bills itself as the oldest and largest group representing Native Americans and Alaska Natives, says it has urged Trump for more than three years to talk to them about policy the way previous presidents did — to no avail.

Instead, Native American leaders say, Trump has enacted policies that actively hurt their community. He approved pipelines that will cross tribal lands and water supplies. He reduced the Bears Ears National Monument, created at the request of Native Americans. He is building agiving hard-hit Native Americans and Alaska Natives $8 billion to tackle the coronavirus — the largest single program investment in Indian Country — tribes sued the federal government, alleging a delay in sending the money.

And he keeps using the name “Pocahontas,” who was captured by colonists as a girl, as a pejorative nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren. He even used it during a 2017 event at the White House with Navajo Code Talkers, who helped transmit secret messages that helped allied forces win World War II.

Trump is a racist in every sense of the word!

Let them eat bottle rockets and sparklers! It all about the photo op for him, not the people of America.

Racist lunatic 🍊🤡's gonna racist

'People of color?' Which ones? There's nothing the President can or should do to appeal to Leftists, whatever they look like.

Good luck with that. Not enough makeup magic or lipstick to disguise that pig

It’s only ”fraught” with you and your base. Keep peddling lies, though. You’re doing great sowing discord!

Fraught relationship is s funny way of saying his support of white supremacy.

Fake news

The urban media class reacting to an outdoor summer Independence Day celebration they can’t enjoy, because of continued lockdowns in their home blue cities they pushed for themselves.

People are dying,are unemployed and he is organizing 4th of July and at what cost!!!

When will someone say out loud that trump is mentally ill and that all these people are allowing him to damage the country because they are afraid to upset him and/or be called a name?

Naw, he's not at all ashamed of his racism.

He has a ton of support among Blacks; he's done far more positive things for Blacks than Obama...some Blacks, however, want to continue the failed policies of Blacl leaders who have gutted once good cities like LA, Balt, Chicago, etc.

'without the media race-baiting the situation'

Too bad for realDonaldTrump but statues don’t vote. TrumpIsLosing

350,000 dollars out of South Dakota tax payers pocket for trump to take a campaign photo op and Noem to appear important.

The fact that the image for this is a QAnon flag should be deeply unsettling.
