President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on August 14, 2025

Cara Castronuova, a host on far-right election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's network, piqued President Donald Trump's attention with a blatantly partisan question during a Thursday Oval Office press scrum.

Reporters plied Trump with inquiries ahead of his Friday summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Questions included what methods the president has to constrain Putin, should the Russian leader blow off Trump’s petition for an end to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But amid these questions came Castronuova, asking what Trump planned to do about Democrats’ alleged effort to frighten seniors.

“Democrats like [Sen.] Bernie Sanders [I-Vt.] and [Sen.] Elizabeth Warren [D-Mass.] continue to peddle the lie and the claim that you're trying to cut Social Security, despite your repeated promises to protect it,” Castronuova asked. “Why do you think they keep pushing this misinformation and literally terrorizing the elderly in America that sadly keep watching the very misleading mainstream media?”

'LindellTV' is one of several pro-Trump media outlets granted highly prized White House press credentials earlier this year. The Trump administration claimed the media outlet's inclusion would boost democracy, but critics say it “seems to have only boosted ‘make America great again’ propaganda.”

“I love your question,” Trump told Castronuova. “I should have called you first, but I love these questions. But it's such a good question.”

Trump then used that opportunity to launch into a monologue of name-calling, referring to Warren as ‘Pocohontas’ and demanding she “take a drug test.”

“She's a liar and a mean person,” he said. “She's a nutjob.”

Critics on social media winced at the exchange.

“The projection is off the charts,” said one commenter on X, while another called Trump “a sad, despicable human being.”

Founded by right wing news ally Mike Lindell, 'LindellTV' brings all the “fawning coverage of Trump and his allies, mixed in with conspiracy theories about voting machines,” according to the Guardian, despite Lindell getting sued for millions of dollars over such conspiracies. No television network currently carries 'LindellTV.'
