President Donald Trump took a familiar jab at Senator Elizabeth Warren during his congressional address on Tuesday night, March 4, mocking her stance on Ukraine aid while reviving his well-known nickname for the Massachusetts Democrat. As Trump criticized ongoing U.S. military support for Ukraine, he highlighted that Democrats, including Warren, were eager to keep the funding flowing, as reported by the New York Post.
“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 enthusiastically, 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 gained traction in 2012 and 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 Trump has repeatedly used 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 U.S. foreign policy. Just a day before the address, he ordered a halt on all U.S. 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 Ukrainian President Volodymyr 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.” Trump also took the opportunity to criticize European allies, accusing them of spending more on Russian fossil fuels than on aiding Ukraine.
However, he softened his tone when discussing 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.
Trump’s remarks about Warren and Ukraine sparked mixed reactions online. One user wrote, “Do I need to do a new Trump bingo card every time?” Another commented, “That was not needed and breaks decorum. It is as disrespectful as Congressman Greene’s outburst. Both were not needed.”
