1. President Trump

The President of the United States, during a White House event honoring World War II's Navajo code talkers, makes a "Pocahontas" crack about a sitting US senator. No, it's not an "SNL" skit, it's real life in 2017. And all this happened in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson , the former President who signed the legislation that led to the Trail of Tears. No, really. The blowback was intense, with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (the target of President Trump's insult), Native American advocacy groups and others slamming the President. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said it wasn't a racial slur.

So, she p ut an audio recorder in her daughter's backpack , hoping to catch the bullies in the act. The school found out about it and confiscated the device. Now, Sims is charged with a felony for the recording and faces up to five years in prison, if convicted.
