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.
So we can better understand her view, MTG needs to give us a summary of what’s in the deal, what she finds wrong with it, and why. She may be right, but venting is not enough.
She represents the constituents who voted for her. The rest is just a delusion of self-importance.
You explained your points about cooperation with authority very well, but what about when you rarely have access to The Boss? I don’t think MTG spends a lot of time in Washington DC. She is advocating for her voters here.
I am a Trump supporter, but not a sycophant or whatever term accurately describes a blind follower.
Your statement, “Only left wing morons will fall for this obvious attempt to divide Trump supporters.” is egregiously in error.
No man is above critique, nor are his cabinet members to whom he should be delegating.
Yet I have been smeared here at FR for said critique, i.e., ‘division.’
That is telling.
Trump gets to continue to support Ukraine. Putin realizes that USA is not going to stop arming Ukraine.
Eventually, Putin will sue for peace.
It may take another year for a deal to be made.
So true. She left portray her as a loon, except her wise counsel when criticizing Trump. However, it is still a left wing rag that is reporting the story from the London newspapers, which are even more left wing rags. Which means I doubt she said exactly what they said she said.
She a fringe conservative .
I’m perfectly happy. Trump has exceeded my expectations. He’s turned off the spigot at the border. He’s got a Cabinet in place. He’s removing the Communists. Sounds good to me!
This biotch does not represent the GOP base. She represents an area in Georgia and is a mouthpiece the media uses from time to time for trolling purposes under the guise of trying to manipulate the GOP base.
I never inferred that Margie was a Democrat.
But then you knew that.
IIRC the accusation was that MTG bought stocks after a Trump Truth post saying it was a good time to buy.
Do you have evidence of actual insider trading by MTG or is that it?
Iran with nuclear weapons truly is an existential threat.
“When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base.”
Referring to yourself in the third person is always batty.
Mineral deal in the Ukraine seems fine to me.
She’s mistaken. Mining rare-earth minerals isn’t the goal. Stopping others from chasing those minerals is one goal. The real goal is selling nat gas and oil to Europe which undermines Russia and helps Europe.
She’s free to gripe all she wants, she’ll find something else to rant about soon enough.
Giving billions more to Ukraine, that it can't payback as long as the war is going on, completely undermines the work o DOGE. It doubles on Biden's failed strategy and results in Trump owning the war that Ukraine will lose. It will only result in more Ukrainians dying and more lost territory.
Trump must not authorize a penny more of military aid or weapons to Ukraine.
You're crazy if you don't think all hell would break loose if that happened.
There is no national interest in Ukraine and it betrays MAGA to waste anymore money on the war there.
But, hopefully, Trump knows that and that siding with globalists and neocons is political suicide.
This article is typical of the clickbait fed to left wing morons on Reddit. The 50 IQ Marxists there eat this crap up. They jump up and down like brainless monkeys and point to it as proof that the Trump presidency is about to fall. The article gains cash clicks for the propagandists to buy drugs and nose rings, signalling to fellow morons that they’re of child bearing age.
Trump will take care of any perceived dissent within the MAGA hierarchy, as he always does.
