Donald Trump has long been a critic of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who ran for president in 2020 and has never been a huge fan of his, either.
On Thursday, at an event to mark, of all things, the 90th anniversary of Social Security, the president took surprising shots at Warren when a reporter asked Trump about the senator claiming that he wants to cut Social Security. Trump, at the event, claimed that he will strengthen the program, “for generations to come.”
“It’s so vicious what they do. Elizabeth Warren said she was an Indian. We call her Pocahontas. She’s a liar. She lied her whole career,” Trump said of the senator. “Based on the fact that she was an Indian, she was able to get into certain colleges, get certain jobs, get into certain universities to work there. And she’s a liar and a mean person.”

Then he demanded she take a drug test.
“She’s a nutjob. I watched her the other night. She’s all hopped up endorsing a communist in New York City, and she was all excited and jumping up and down,” Trump said, of Warren’s endorsement of New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. “She’s got to take a drug test. She really, though, she’s got to take a drug test. There’s no way somebody can act that way and be normal.”
Warren had authored an op-ed, for Fox News, in April, accusing Trump of wanting to cut Social Security.
“Right now, Social Security is under attack like it has never been before. Billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said seniors won’t complain if they miss a Social Security check,” Warren wrote in that op-ed. “Elon Musk called Social Security the ‘world’s biggest Ponzi scheme.’ Musk then sent his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to gut the agency by indiscriminately firing workers, closing down offices, and trying to cut phone services.
“What does it mean to slash staff and services with no rhyme or reason? Two things: more mistakes in delivering checks to Americans, and fewer workers to fix those mistakes. And when people don’t get their checks, that’s a cut to the benefits they have earned.”
