Donald Trump unleashes on ‘nut job’ senator as he demands ‘she’s gotta take a drug test’ after ‘hopped up’ appearance
Donald Trump branded Senator Elizabeth Warren a ‘nut job’ while demanding she take a drug test during an Oval Office appearance.
While speaking to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act Trump took aim at the lawmaker and reignited one of his longest standing feuds.
‘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 had been referencing Warren’s recent support of New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic socialist who he has touted as a communist.
Her name came up after Trump was asked about her and Senator Bernie Sanders pushing what a reporter called ‘misinformation’ surrounding social security.
As well as saying she should take a drug test, Trump also took aim at Warren for lying about her Native American heritage in the past – of which he has done frequently.
He said: ‘Elizabeth Warren said she was an Indian. We call her Pocahontas. She’s a liar. She lied her whole career.’

‘Based on the fact that she was Indian, she was able to get into certain colleges, get certain jobs, get into certain universities to work there. She’s a liar and a mean person.
‘Bernie Sanders is Bernie Sanders. I don’t mind him so much. He’s just a liberal guy, very liberal guys, wacky guy.
‘He’s still sharp. I got to tell you, you know, he’s 86, or 87, or something. He’s still sharp.’

She said: ‘We shouldn’t be cutting Social Security services and threatening Americans’ benefits – we should be making the program stronger.
‘People are struggling with sky-high prices while their retirement savings are evaporating.’
The longtime political foes managed to agree on one thing earlier this year, after both saying that the debit limit should be scrapped.
Warren self-identified that she had Native American heritage on applications to Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania.

But after being called out by Trump, she later released a DNA test in 2018 which revealed that she was only 1/512th Native American.
Trump publicly mocked her as Pocahontas earlier this year during a speech he gave to a joint session of Congress.
Warren clapped and nodded even as he made her the butt of the joke, later commenting that she feels being mentioned means she ‘actually hit a nerve’.
