President Trump was on fire during his speech to Congress on Tuesday night.
He was full of truth and humor, at one point referring to Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” — right as she was seated in the chamber watching him!
While addressing the Ukrainian war, President Trump posed the question to Democrats,
“Do you want to keep it going for another five years?” He then followed up with an answer,
“Yeah, yeah, you would say, Pocahontas says ‘yes,’” as the chamber erupted into laughter.
You have to give credit to whoever was filming the address because they panned right to Elizabeth Warren at the moment, capturing her reaction.
Warren reluctantly clapped along with the crowd, trying to play it off, but obviously looking more than a little miffed.
Watch the hilarious moment — and Pocahontas’ reaction — right here:

LMAO. TRUMP IS HILARIOUS.
“The U.S. has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense… *Democrats clap* … You want to keep it going another 5 years? Yeah, Pocahontas says yes.”

ABC13 commented:
As Trump finally turned to talking about Russia and Ukraine, Democrats clapped when he said the U.S. has sent billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense.
“Do you want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah, yeah, you would say, Pocahontas says ‘yes,’” he said. The reference is a callback to his 2018 taunt of Sen. Elizabeth Warren as she ran for president.
The camera then panned to Warren, who was wearing her signature blue suit. Warren clapped throughout Trump’s jab.
After President Trump’s speech, Elizabeth Warren slammed President Trump’s plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, calling it a “fantasy.”
From The Hill:
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) panned President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress as “a fantasy” after the president called her by the derogatory name “Pocahontas” while touting his plan to end the war in Ukraine.
Warren shook her head when asked if she was surprised about being singled out by Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress.
“No,” she said. “The whole speech was a fantasy that Donald Trump tries to construct.”
She noted that “Ukrainians have been on the front lines for three years” and that she had visited the war-torn country and spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and combat veterans.
