Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) unloaded a heap of criticism Friday on recent actions and inactions by the Trump administration and fellow Republicans, bringing up the Ukraine minerals deal, talks with Iran, and more — while being sure to not criticize President Trump personally.
“I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy,” Greene said Friday in a lengthy post on the social platform X.
“I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran,” Greene said, in reference to ongoing talks with Iran over its nuclear program. A fourth round of talks that was slated to take place in Rome over the weekend has been postponed.
“I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength,” Greene said.
She then turned to the minerals deal the U.S. signed with Ukraine this week, which would give the U.S. a share of Ukraine’s natural resources if the U.S. sends more money to Ukraine as it fights off a Russian invasion. Greene argued that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky “is a dictator who canceled elections” — which was due to the war — and was “involved of the first impeachment of Trump.”
“Why on earth would we go over and occupy Ukraine and spend an untold amount of future American taxpayer dollars defending and mining their minerals as well as potentially putting American lives at risk and future war?” Greene said. “Why don’t we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?”
The post from the firebrand Georgia congresswoman is striking given that she has been one of Trump’s most vocal and prominent supporters.
Greene also lamented that the COVID-19 vaccine “still has FDA [Food and Drug Administration] approval” and wondered if “those vicious attorneys and judges” who worked “against the American people in the last four years” would be “held accountable for the lives they ruined.”
She also took aim at Republicans in Congress, wondering when there would be a vote on budgetary recessions to codify actions by the Department of Government Efficiency and saying there is enough “outrage and moral courage to dispose of this treason” by “rogue judges” blocking Trump actions.
“When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that,” Greene said, implicitly dismissing the idea of Trump seeking a third term in 2028, which would require a constitutional amendment.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
My base is quite happy
While MTG’s outrage is credible and informed, it appears our creditors have spoken. Unless she wants to pay more for bonds to tide us over until we can get the spending under control, she’d better accept that we must come to terms with the lenders. At this point, there is nothing more inflationary than interest rates.
I see Trump taking care of business on all fronts. Thats what is going to keep his base happy. Iran is surely an issue. I am more than happy to have Ukraine pay their debts in minerals and fuels.
MTG is usually referred to as an extremist kook
but when she criticizes Trump
she is elevated to sage
That is so true for ANY Republican.
The Ukraine mineral deal was brilliant in my opinion. Rewards the US for Ukraine survival, nothing if it fails. That means Vlad the invader doesn’t get everything he wants.
I think it’s past time ( like 40 years) talking to Iran. Everytume they launch a missile or one of their supported groups performs a terrorist act, just bomb them for a week non-stop. Don’t say a word, and don’t stop. They will get it very quickly.
She can go to hell. Sorry, but some in the base have been radicalized on this issue by idiots like her.
Now she opens her dumb mouth over a minerals deal?
It’s amazing how much Trump has on his plate right now.
✔️
I used to at least appreciate MTG. But it seems like she has gone to Pelosi insider stock trading school. That just pisses me off because it negates any positives she might bring to the table by speaking her mind, but minding her own wallet before speaking on behalf of the American people, or the so-called “base”.
EVERY congressman who has insider traded needs to be charged and have their profits clawed back completely and the worst ones thrown in jail.
We wouldn’t need to talk about term limits then. They wouldn’t stay long of their own volition.
Silly woman.
Butt ugly, too.
She is a nothing burger.
I doubt if she ever played team sports.
Nor ever worked in an organization where she had to report to a chain of command.
Point is she is not a team player.
She never learned that whether you are playing teams sports or working in a organization you are going to disagree with those that lead you, but if you want to be part of winning team then you must respect those who have authority over you whether you agree or not.
I played sports in high school and college and maybe half the coaches I liked and really respected, others I respected but did not like, the rest I neither liked nor respected.
But the lesson was if you wanted to play the game, you respected their authority over you and didn’t pout or whine or show disrespect, that is what losers do.
In her defense, she is what she is, NOTHING more than professional politician, too full of herself to ever be a winner.
👏
Well done.
Only left wing morons will fall for this obvious attempt to divide Trump supporters.
I am perfectly happy, MTG doesn’t speak for me.
agree
i like MTG cuz she is a fighter
so she disagrees with Trump
so what?
dissenters are allowed
I think Trump is right on this
Don’t give ammo to the opposition Margorie.
We are being led towards war by certain folks in Washington who have the ear of President Trump. He needs to turn away from them.
Getting Mike Waltz out of his post sounds good to me.
Tucker Carlson fully agrees with her IMHO is he a Democrat too?
Not all fronts. For one:
Can't argue with MTG on much of this. We've gone from calling for an end to the war, to mediator of warring parties, to a one sided agreement and shipping weapons to same.
This is the last administration's policy on ukeland redux as of Friday, save for 'selling' (rather than 'giving') them weapons. Technically, recent events empower the very idiots who started this whole thing and want it to continue. Head scratcher.
