During his first few weeks in office, Trump delivered on campaign promises, causing an uproar among Democrats. His administration’s swift actions earned praise from voters. A CBS poll showed that 70% of respondents believed Trump was doing exactly what he pledged to do.
Trump’s aggressive dismantling of the Washington establishment rattled many, especially Warren, who has consistently been one of his most vocal critics. His move to freeze the CFPB’s operations hit Warren particularly hard, given that she was instrumental in creating the agency in 2007 to regulate financial institutions.
Warren, known for her sharp criticism of Wall Street and big businesses, has accused Trump of giving corporations a free pass by halting the CFPB’s work. “If you have a bank account, or a credit card, or a mortgage, or a student loan — this is a code red,” Warren warned in a video statement, adding, “CEOs on Wall Street will once again be free to trick, trap, and cheat you.”
But Trump fired back during a press conference when a reporter mentioned Warren’s concerns. Interrupting, he said, “Pocahontas, the faker,” referencing Warren’s disputed claims of Native American ancestry.
Trump didn’t hold back, accusing Warren of using her heritage claims to advance her academic and political careers. “She went to college based on the fact that she was an Indian, she got jobs based on the fact that she was an Indian,” he said. “She’s a fake.”
The former president referenced a DNA test Warren took in response to his criticism, which revealed she had between 1/64th and 1/1024th Native American ancestry, far less than she had claimed.
Trump also lambasted the CFPB, calling it a weapon Warren wielded against hardworking business owners. “You know that was set up to destroy people,” Trump said. “Before I ever heard the term, people would come up to me in the Midwest and say, ‘sir, I’m being destroyed by them.’ They use that to destroy people.”

He continued, describing Warren as a “really nasty woman” and criticizing her tenure at the CFPB. “If you looked at when she really ran it, wow, that was a vicious group of people,” Trump said. “They really destroyed a lot of people.”
Trump’s remarks have once again ignited debate over Warren’s heritage claims and the role of the CFPB. While Warren argues that the CFPB protects consumers from corporate exploitation, Trump and his supporters see it as an overreaching agency that stifles business growth.
As the political battle intensifies, both Trump and Warren remain key figures in the ongoing clash between conservatives and progressives in Washington.
