Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once one of President Donald Trump\u2019s most outspoken allies on Capitol Hill, has escalated her public break with the former president\u2014this time taking direct aim at the Make America Great Again movement itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a lengthy interview with independent political commentator Kim Iversen published on YouTube Thursday, Greene accused<\/a> Trump of abandoning the grassroots voters who fueled his rise, branding MAGA a betrayal of the very people it promised to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMAGA is \u2014 I think people are realizing it was all a lie. It was a big lie for the people,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The Georgia Republican, who resigned from Congress last fall, argued that Trump has shifted his focus away from everyday Americans and toward wealthy donors and entrenched interests. According to Greene, political loyalty is now driven by money rather than principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019s more worried about serving the big big donors,\u201d she said, referring to donors who contribute to Trump-aligned PACs and high-dollar projects, including his newly announced ballroom. \u201cThose are the people that get the special favors, the government contracts, they get the pardons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Greene went on to argue that foreign governments and multinational corporations now wield disproportionate influence over U.S. policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd it\u2019s the foreign countries that are running the show here,\u201d she added. \u201cIt\u2019s the major big corporations and what is best for the world. That\u2019s really what MAGA is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her criticism extended to foreign policy, particularly Trump\u2019s focus on Iran and the Middle East. Greene suggested domestic unrest is being ignored in favor of overseas conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry, we\u2019ve got civil war practically breaking out in Minnesota, can we not care about that?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Greene reserved her sharpest criticism for U.S. involvement in Israel and Gaza, accusing Trump of prioritizing foreign interests over American lives and values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re seeing war on behalf of Israel,\u201d Greene said. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing the people in Gaza \u2014 innocent people in Gaza, hundreds of thousands of them completely murdered, so that they can build some new real estate development and money can pour in and everyone can get rich there in New Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The remarks mark a dramatic evolution for Greene, who was once considered among Trump\u2019s most reliable defenders in Congress. Her relationship with the former president began to fracture publicly after she accused him of dragging his feet on releasing government files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein\u2014an issue popular among the GOP base skeptical of elite accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Following those comments, Trump publicly distanced himself from Greene, dubbing her \u201cMarjorie \u2018Traitor\u2019 Greene\u201d and claiming she had \u201csome sort of act going on.\u201d Their feud intensified in the months that followed, culminating in Greene\u2019s decision to leave Congress altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Greene has framed her resignation as a rejection of Washington politics, speculation has continued to swirl within conservative circles that she may be positioning herself for a future national run. Allies and critics alike have noted that her recent media appearances, broader ideological critiques, and willingness to challenge Trump directly resemble the early stages of a potential presidential or third-party campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Greene has not formally announced any plans to run for president, but she has also declined to rule it out\u2014fueling rumors that her break with Trump may be less about stepping away from politics and more about redefining the post-Trump conservative movement on her own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to a November report from Notus, Greene has privately expressed interest in following in Donald Trump\u2019s footsteps to the White House. The outlet cites four sources familiar with her thinking, saying Greene believes she represents the \u201creal MAGA\u201d faction \u2014 the core conservative movement that has reshaped the GOP since 2016 \u2014 and that many Republican leaders have drifted away from those grassroots values.
