Suggestion for Senator Warren.

Tell trump that he seems to be really interested in your genes. Tell him you are interested in his tax returns.

Tell him you will release your genetic information when he releases the last 10 years of his tax returns just like every other candidate for president for decades. He doesn't think you have Native American blood. You don't believe he has a billion dollars.

"You really seem weirdly interested in my genes. Okay, that's weird, but we all have obsessions. Me, I'm obsessed with your tax returns. I don't know how weird that is, because after all, your tax returns will probably prove that you are guilty of all sorts of financial crimes. And I know a LOT more about finance than you know about genes, buster."

Grandmother's 'adopted' son was really her son born our of wedlock in 1925. Everyone involved is dead bur I was shocked to my core... that I was was lied to all those years my Dad was younger and had me late in life; lived into her 90's and never said a word...Sen Warren was told there was a native American connection...it may or may not be true... I would shrug my shoulders and move on. I would not engage Donald Trump or play his game.

Trump and his cohort are notorious goalost repositioners, and he’ll never give up his tax info willingly.

you have lost.

Of course he won't release taxes. That's the point. Offering to trade info is how to shut him up. It takes away one of his toys.
