- Marjorie Taylor Greene publicly rebuked Trump after he said she had "lost her way," insisting she's "100% America first and only."
- The feud highlights a growing MAGA rift as Greene pivots to prioritize domestic issues, risking a wider intra-party split before 2026.
In a stunning escalation of tensions within the MAGA orbit, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene clapped back hard at President Donald Trump on Monday after he publicly declared that his once-fierce ally had “lost her way.”
The fiery exchange, sparked by Greene’s growing criticism of the administration’s heavy focus on foreign policy amid skyrocketing costs at home, has sent shockwaves through Republican circles and lit up social media.
It all kicked off during a chaotic Oval Office press gaggle, where Trump was fielding questions while prepping for meetings with Syria’s interim leader Ahmed al-Sharaa and swearing in a new ambassador to India.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins zeroed in on Greene’s recent barbs—particularly her complaint that the White House has become a “revolving door” for foreign leaders while Americans grapple with stubborn grocery bills and health insurance premiums.
Trump didn’t hold back. “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie. She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think,” he told reporters.
He went on to defend his global approach: “But I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally. I mean, we could have a world that’s on fire, where wars come to our shores very easily, if you had a bad president.”
He even accused Greene of “catering to the other side,” adding, “I guess she’s got some kind of an act going—but I’m surprised by her.”
Trump touted his domestic wins, like the massive “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” reconciliation package passed earlier this year, insisting critics like Greene just “don’t know” the full picture.
Marjorie Taylor Green Responds to Trump
But Greene wasn’t about to take that lying down. Less than an hour later, her team fired off a statement to CNN: “I haven’t lost my way. I’m 100% America first and only!”
This isn’t some out-of-nowhere spat. Greene has been dialing up the heat for weeks, breaking ranks on everything from Trump’s tariff rollout (calling it “bumpy” for businesses) to slamming nonstop foreign leader visits while families drown in debt.
Just last week on NBC, she vented: “Watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans.”
She hammered home that prices “remain too high” and the focus needs to shift to inflation-busting at home.
She’s also torched her own party over the ongoing government shutdown—now dragging into its second month—calling it “an embarrassment” that the GOP-controlled House isn’t in session more.
On ABC’s The View, she ripped leadership, and she’s pushed for hauling in health insurance execs to craft a real Obamacare replacement.
Public Sentiment is Highly Mixed
What’s eating at Greene? She’s laser-focused on her rural Georgia district—blue-collar workers crushed by decades of D.C. failures, as she puts it.
In recent X posts, she’s demanded Congress reopen the government, pass her Protect Children’s Innocence Act (banning gender-affirming care for minors), and prioritize domestic wins over “nonstop meetings” abroad.
Trump allies are baffled. Former advisor Steve Bannon called her shift a “major departure,” noting she once angled to be Trump’s 2024 running mate.
Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed in, claiming Greene’s “revenge tour” started after Trump shut down her Senate ambitions.
On X, reactions exploded. Supporters cheered Greene for sticking to “America Only,” while critics like Mark Levin branded her a “crackpot” and “Marjorie Traitor GreenE.”
Others, like Catturd, accused her of chasing left-wing applause on shows like Bill Maher’s — though many have seen Greene as one of the most logical Republicans, urging transparency in the Epstein Files and tackling accountability.
By Tuesday, Greene doubled down in follow-ups, renewing attacks on the GOP while insisting her frustration is with Congress—not Trump personally.
Apparently Bipartisan Efforts Are a Big No-No
She’s even teamed up with unlikely allies like Rep. Thomas Massie on issues like releasing Epstein files.
This rift exposes cracks in the MAGA foundation ahead of 2026 midterms. Greene’s once-unbreakable loyalty to Trump built her national profile, but now she’s positioning as the ultimate “America First” purist—willing to scorch earth, even the president’s.
Will this blow over, or is it the start of a full-blown MAGA civil war? One thing’s clear: Greene’s not backing down, and Trump’s not mincing words.
As one insider put it, most Republicans tiptoe around Trump to avoid his wrath—but not MTG anymore.
Stay tuned—this one’s just heating up.
