Trump taunts Elizabeth Warren with 'Pocahontas' barb on Ukraine aid, Internet says he 'feels threatened'

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump took a familiar jab at Senator Elizabeth Warren during his congressional address Tuesday night, March 4, ridiculing her stance on Ukraine aid while reviving his go-to nickname for the Massachusetts Democrat.

As Trump criticized continued US military support for Ukraine, he pointed out that Democrats, including Warren, were eager to keep the funding flowing, reported by NY Post.

Trump mocks Elizabeth Warren over Ukraine stance

“You want to keep it going for another five years,” Trump quipped, before zeroing in on Warren. “Pocahontas says yes.” Despite the dig, Warren clapped with enthusiasm, even accelerating her applause as Trump smirked.

Trump’s “Pocahontas” moniker for Warren stems from her past claims of Native American ancestry, a controversy that surfaced in 2012 and later intensified when a DNA test revealed her Native heritage was distant, dating back six to ten generations.

Warren has denied leveraging her ancestry claims for career advancement, but that hasn’t stopped Trump from repeatedly using it as political ammunition.

“2,000 people are being killed every single week. More than that,” Trump remarked after taking a jab at Warren. “They’re Russian young people. They’re Ukrainian young people. They’re not Americans, but I want it to stop.”

Beyond his jabs at Warren, Trump’s speech signaled a major shift in US foreign policy. Just a day before the address, he ordered a halt on all US military aid to Ukraine, escalating tensions between Kyiv and Washington.

“Ukraine is ready to come to the negotiating table as soon as possible to bring lasting peace closer,” Trump claimed, citing a letter he received from Zelensky.

“Nobody wants peace more than the Ukrainians," the president said Zelensky wrote. "We do really value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence."

The president took the opportunity to criticize European allies, accusing them of spending more on Russian fossil fuels than on helping Ukraine. However, he softened his tone when discussing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, praising him for allegedly expressing a willingness to negotiate peace.

Warren has consistently backed Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s aggressive and unprovoked assault.

Internet reacts as Trump taunts Elizabeth Warren during speech on Ukraine

Some users found the remark entertaining, as they said: “The Pocahontas remark was priceless!” and “That was hysterical. That was the best speech he ever gave.”

Another commented on the audience reaction, “Perfect comic timing by Trump, and watching JD Vance and Johnson’s reaction is priceless.”

Other user wrote, "He feels threatened by strong women."

One user called out, “I’m very anti-Dem as their policies have ruined so many lives and livelihoods, but I don’t think he should have called her that,especially not so publicly. Should have taken the higher road.”

One user called Trump saying, "HE'S A MAJOR JERK."
