President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has a drug use problem amid their ongoing rift over his policies.
While answering questions in the Oval Office during the 90th anniversary celebration of the Social Security Act, Trump railed at the senator.
“Elizabeth Warren said she was an Indian. We call her Pocahontas. She’s a liar. She lied her whole career,” he said. “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.”
Warren released the results of a DNA test in October 2018 that showed she has distant Native American ancestry dating back six to 10 generations. Trump had challenged her to take that test months before.
Elsewhere, while speaking with reporters Thursday, the POTUS went on to take shots at Warren for supporting democratic socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani of New York City.
“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. “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.”
Trump’s dig at Warren came after she called out the Trump administration in an op-ed for Fox News earlier this year.
“Social Security is under attack like it has never been before. We shouldn’t be cutting Social Security services and threatening Americans’ benefits — we should be making the program stronger,” she wrote. “People are struggling with sky-high prices while their retirement savings are evaporating.”
White House assistant press secretary Liz Huston slammed Democrats in a statement on the White House’s official site Thursday.
“While Democrats flail and peddle lies about Social Security, President Trump is demonstrating his unbreakable commitment to protecting and strengthening this vital program for the nearly 72 million Americans who benefit from it,” she said.
Huston added: “By massively improving the customer service experience through technological improvements, preventing illegal aliens from accessing benefits, and delivering no taxes on Social Security through the One Big Beautiful Bill – President Trump has Made Social Security Great Again.”
Trump also claimed Thursday that his administration has “already kicked nearly 275,000 illegal aliens off of the Social Security system,” Fox News reports.
Trump went on to criticize his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, for “never kicking anybody off.”
“These are people — many of them have already left the country. And yet we were sending them checks all the time,” he added. “And what that’s doing is making the system strong. It’s making it strong. Biden never kicked anybody off. Everybody joined.”
