Elizabeth Warren isn’t letting up on Donald Trump.
A day after shredding the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in a speech, the Massachusetts senator took to Twitter to continue the barrage, telling Trump: “Your words and actions disqualify you from being President.”
The two have been sparring on and off for weeks. But the latest skirmish kicked off Tuesday night when Warren devoted a major chunk of a Washington speech to an attack on Trump for saying in 2006 that he was hoping the housing bubble would burst.

“What kind of a man roots for people to get thrown out of their house?” Warren asked, calling Trump “a small, insecure, money grubber who doesn’t care who gets hurt so long as he gets a profit of it.”
Hillary Clinton’s campaign, too, attacked Trump over his housing comments.
Trump responded on Twitter Wednesday morning. As he’s done before, he called Warren “Pocahontas” — a reference to a kerfuffle over her past claims of Native American ancestry. He also accused her of being a “total hypocrite,” claiming she, too, had profited from the crash. Both issues came up during her 2012 Senate race.
@elizabethforma Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes known as Pocahontas, bought foreclosed housing and made a quick killing. Total hypocrite!

Goofy Senator Elizabeth Warren @elizabethforma has done less in the U.S. Senate than practically any other senator. All talk, no action!

That prompted Warren to let loose:
.@realDonaldTrump: I helped family buy their homes and out-of-work construction worker relatives make a living. I’m proud of that.

Anytime someone calls out @realDonaldTrump, he replies with right-wing conspiracies & lies. It’s not presidential – & getting very old.

If @realDonaldTrump actually believes every stupid lie he reads on the Internet, we’re in for a truckload of trouble if he’s President.

I fight for working families every day, @realDonaldTrump. You fight only for Donald Trump.

Fling as much mud as you want, @realDonaldTrump. Your words & actions disqualify you from being President – & I won't stop saying it.

Warren’s eagerness to take on Trump — and her ability to do it with a verve and panache that few people in either party have managed — has some Democrats hoping that Hillary Clinton might add her to the ticket. Picking Warren as her running mate, they note, might help Clinton reach out to disaffected Bernie Sanders supporters.

But, veep-stakes aside, Warren also may sense that her persona allows her to play a valuable role in stopping Trump from getting to the White House. As an ardent foe of economic inequality with a clear record of accomplishment, Warren can puncture Trump’s claims to speak for working Americans. And dragging the businessman into another high-profile screaming match with a woman sure won’t help him improve his abysmal standing with female voters.
In other words, Warren is likely just getting started.
