Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Saturday that President Trump is “not serving” the people who supported him.
In a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Tim Dillon, Greene expressed concern that the President was ignoring the impact of tariffs and rising health insurance premiums on ordinary Americans. “[The focus] shouldn’t be about helping your crypto donors or your AI donors,” she said. “The focus should be the people that showed up at the rallies, that stood there for freakin’ 18 hours trying to get in the rain, in the cold, in the 100-degree heat. I don’t think those people are being served.”
While acknowledging Trump’s efforts to end wars and renegotiate trade deals, the congresswoman bemoaned the level aid going to other countries. “Here goes another $100 billion to Ukraine or $30 billion to Israel, but yet nobody can afford health insurance premiums,” Greene said. “The President is trying to end wars and make it fair again for American trade, but that’s bumpy…I’m talking to major manufacturing companies who are saying ‘We’re having problems with these tariffs’.”
Greene, who identifies as “MAGA through and through” and said she was “never a never-Trumper,” criticised what she described as the dysfunction of the two-party system. She pointed to the rising costs of living and the ongoing struggles of the US health insurance market, saying neither Trump nor Republicans have offered concrete solutions. “Two things I couldn’t find this week: the Epstein files or the Republican plan to fix the absolutely destroyed health insurance industry that got wiped out in 2015 with Obamacare,” she said. “We are not doing anything to address the cost of living.”
In recent weeks, the hard-Right North Georgia representative has been calling for an extension of provisions in the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature health-care policy, and even blamed Republicans for the ongoing government shutdown. “I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year,” she wrote on X.
Elsewhere in the interview, Greene pushed for greater accountability Jeffrey Epstein. While the White House has sought to downplay discussion surrounding the sex offender, Greene has supported a petition to force a vote on the release of information about individuals connected to Epstein. She warned Trump not to make any rash pardons. “I hope Ghislaine Maxwell and Diddy pardons are a joke,” she said.
Greene’s comments reflect a broader frustration among some MAGA supporters who feel the movement’s priorities are being overlooked. “Have regular people’s bank accounts been affected? Has the stress come off?” she asked. “No, that has not happened yet and that needs to be the major focus.”
