Trump is making Disney references great again. 

Since Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) started exchanging harsh words with Donald Trump, she’s been called “goofy” and “the Indian,” a reference to her alleged history of invoking her 1/32 Native American ancestry to claim affirmative action benefits as a college professor.
