President Trump appears to be taking a swipe at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, with the MAGA Republican from Georgia continuing to defy her party's stance on various issues. Speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump expressed his dismay at Greene's recent actions.
"I don't know what happened to Marjorie," Trump stated. "She's a nice woman, but I think she's lost her way." Trump went on to caution that the president has a broader view of the world and its challenges. He cited Russia-Ukraine tensions as an example of how the nation can be put in peril with a less-than-capable leader.
Greene has been vocal about distancing herself from some of her party's stances, such as speaking out against Israel's assault on Gaza and pushing for release of the Epstein files. Trump took issue with this approach, suggesting that Greene was trying to garner attention from Democrats.
"She's now catering to the other side," Trump said. "I guess she's got some kind of an act goingβbut I'm surprised at her."
In response to Trump's characterization, Greene released a statement saying she had not strayed from her core values. She declared herself to be 100% committed to America First and only.
Trump's comments have fueled ongoing tension between the two politicians, with no clear resolution in sight.
