President Donald J. Trump responded Monday to criticism from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who accused the president of driving up the cost of living during an interview on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street, as reported by Newsmax.
Warren, speaking from New York City where she was meeting with Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, blamed President Trump for increases in the cost of groceries, housing, and healthcare, claiming his policies are making life more expensive for working families.
Trump fired back on Truth Social, calling out Warren for her long-disputed claim of Native American heritage and slamming her economic accusations.

“In just 6 months, I cut costs, especially Energy and Taxes, Tremendously. Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren, on CNBC, said costs have gone up. She is just angry that I blew up her terrible Presidential Campaign. Call her out!!!” Trump posted Monday.

He added, “Elizabeth Warren is a LOSER! She lies about everything, including the fact that she is an Indian. She’s NOT. She’s no Pocahontas!!!”

Warren’s comments also targeted President Trump’s recent decision to remove Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after the release of a disappointing jobs report.
“Look, you get bad data, you kill the messenger, right?” Warren said. “And that’s Donald Trump, because he thinks he can bend reality. If he can just tell a different story, then everyone will have to believe his story.”
She continued, “I think those people have not absorbed how dangerous it is to both fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and also, then what? To put in some sycophant who’s going to give data that makes the president happy?”
Warren criticized Republicans for not speaking out about the firing. “We have Republicans, in theory. They can just stand up to him. But I say ‘in theory’ — it’s the most spineless bunch of people I’ve ever seen,” she said.
She also questioned why the business community had remained largely silent. “How much has the business community decided, ‘I’ll keep my head down?’” Warren asked.
Warren concluded by accusing the president of breaking campaign promises related to affordability. “Donald Trump ran for office saying he would lower costs on day one,” she said.
“Cost of groceries are up, cost of housing is up, cost of healthcare is up, and where is Donald Trump? He’s passing a signature bill to throw people off their healthcare so he can do tax cuts for billionaires.”
President Trump has repeatedly rejected Warren’s claims, calling her economic record and political messaging “dishonest” and “delusional.”
