President Donald Trump has publicly expressed disappointment in one of his most fervent supporters, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. During a ceremony in the Oval Office on Monday, where Sergio Gor was sworn in as the US Ambassador to India, Trump was asked about Greene’s recent critiques concerning his focus on foreign policy rather than domestic issues. CNN’s Kaitlin Collins inquired about the matter, prompting the President to question Greene’s allegiance.
“I don’t know what happened to Marjorie,” Trump remarked. “She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think.” In his comments, Trump hinted at his displeasure with Greene’s recent interactions with those across the political spectrum, suggesting she has been “catering to the other side.”
Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia, has recently been vocal in her criticism of the Republican Party, including Trump and GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson. Over the past month, she has taken to social media to challenge her party on issues like rising healthcare costs, echoing similar concerns raised by Democrats opposing Republican efforts to end the current government shutdown.
Since she has begun airing her complaints online, the firebrand conservative has been invited multiple times to appear on CNN, a network that hardly hosted her before her critiques. Last week, Green was invited onto ABC’s ‘The View,’ a noted liberal haven, where she was, for the most part, welcomed warmly. ‘I’m surprised at her,’ Trump said.
Earlier on Monday, Greene had taken to X to post about how Trump should be full-bore ahead on domestic issues facing Americans. ‘I would really like to see nonstop meetings at the WH on domestic policy not foreign policy and foreign country’s leaders,’ she wrote. Her post continued: ‘Start by hauling in the health insurance company’s executives and let’s start formulating our Republican plan to save America from Obamacare and ACA tax credits that have skyrocketed the cost of health insurance!’
Greene’s statement came just before Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara was set to visit the White House. His trip to meet Trump on Monday, which was closed to the press, was the first time a Syrian leader had come to the White House since 1946. In August, Greene told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview that she has increasingly felt alienated by her own party.
‘I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore,’ she revealed at the time. ‘I don’t know which one it is.’ ‘I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,’ she said then.
