Responding to Trump's latest attack that she lacked "the guts" to run for president, the go-to Democratic Trump slayer took to Twitter to, again, cut the wannabe bully down to size.

"We get it, Donald Trump," Warren tweeted to her nearly 400,000 followers on Wednesday. "When a woman stands up to you, you’re going to call her a basket case"
