THE WHITE HOUSE — President Donald Trump welcomed heroic Native American World War II veterans to the White House on Tuesday with a customary greeting consisting of him tapping his hand over his mouth while saying "wah wah wah," sources confirmed today.
Trump honored surviving members of the Navajo Code Talkers at the White House for their service during World War II and their later service to their home tribes of the Cleveland Indians and Washington Redskins, officials said.
"What an honor it is to be here among such fine squaws," Trump said to the three former Navajo Code Talkers alongside him. "You were here long before any of us were here, although we have a representative in Congress who, they say, was here a long time ago. They call her 'Pocahontas.'"
