President Trump said Monday morning that he hoped Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) runs for president because "she'd be very easy" to beat. Trump was asked to react to a DNA test Warren performed that apparently shows she has some Native American heritage. Warren, who Trump has nicknamed 'Pocahontas,' was challenged by the president in July to take a DNA test. He offered to donate $1 million to her favorite charity.



"Who cares?" Trump responded as he held a press availability before boarding Marine One.



"I didn't say that you better read that again," the president said about the million dollar challenge.











"I hope she's running for president because I think she'd be very easy," he said. "I hope that she is running. I do not think she'll be difficult at all. She'll destroy the country. She'll make the country into Venezuela. With that being said, I don't want to say bad things about her because I hope she would be one of the people that would get through the process. It's going to be a long process for the Democrats."



Warren went to Twitter:

My family (including Fox News-watchers) sat together and talked about what they think of @realDonaldTrump’s attacks on our heritage. And yes, a famous geneticist analyzed my DNA and concluded that it contains Native American ancestry. pic.twitter.com/r3SNzP22f8 — Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) October 15, 2018

I get it: @realDonaldTrump is afraid of facts. But I’m not. And the facts are clear. A deep, independent investigation shows my background played no role in any job I got. https://t.co/LTQ6d1sMwM — Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) October 15, 2018

I never expected my family’s story to be used as a racist political joke, but I don’t take any fight lying down. I want you to have the power to fight lies with the truth, so here's a new site for you to review every document for yourself. https://t.co/900SsAMNjb — Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) October 15, 2018
