Pigs give much to people. They provide ham, bacon, pork roasts, etc. They have provided items for transplants, skin for skin grafts.
What has Trump ever done for you??

I feel a bit inadequate. I wonder if I would have had the courage to storm the beaches of Normandy.

I don't need to compensate by insulting them however.

Trump once again demonstrates what fools those who voted for him are.

Trump made the comment as he stood near a portrait of President Andrew Jackson, which he hung in the Oval Office in January. Trump admires Jackson's populism. But Jackson is an unpopular figure in Indian Country because his policies led to the forced removal of American Indians out of their southern homelands.
