Trump stiffs another one

The tycoon who regularly gypped tradespeople who were foolish enough to do work for him is welching, again.

Trump says 'who cares' after Warren takes DNA test, denies $1 million offer

The Boston Globe investigated claims she had exploited her ancestry for affirmative action in her career, somehow, and found nothing to confirm them at all.

And it turns out the supposed family tradition of her having remote Native American ancestry are accurate.

President Donald Trump claims he "didn't say" that he would pay $1 million to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren for taking DNA test to review her Native American heritage, after she released the results of one on Monday morning.

"Who cares?" Trump said when asked about the DNA test. 

When pressed on the once-promised $1 million payment, Trump responded: "I didn't say that. You better read it again."

In fact, Trump did promise $1 million, during a July rally, but only if the test showed she was "an Indian."

At a rally in July, Trump said: "And we will say, 'I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian ... we'll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no but we will hold it for the debates."

Later Monday, Trump said he did not owe Warren the money, saying that was contingent on her winning the nomination.


Well, no, I guess that one Native American ancestor, that far back, doesn't show she's "an Indian."

Or are we supposed to be following some sort of "one drop" rule?

But apparently that's not his reason for refusing to pay up.

That is, he accepts that his challenge was for her to show her family lore of a remote Indian ancestor was true.

And she did that.
