Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R‑Ga.) has publicly escalated her criticism of former President Trump, targeting his trade, immigration, and donor priorities. In a recent interview on The Tim Dillon Show, Greene accused Trump of favoring affluent “crypto donors” and AI investors over the working‑class supporters who backed him. She cited manufacturers’ complaints about tariffs as evidence that his policies were squeezing supply chains and failing to ease financial burdens on ordinary Americans.
Greene also took aim at Trump’s approach to immigration, breaking from hardline rhetoric. While affirming the need for strong borders, she urged for more pragmatic enforcement, warning against sweeping mass deportations that could damage industries dependent on labor. She said the strategy needs to be “smarter,” rather than indiscriminate. Her outspokenness is part of a larger drift: she’s called out GOP leaders for sidelining rank‑and‑file voters and has questioned whether she still aligns with the Republican Party’s direction.
Her comments represent one of the more visible fractures within the MAGA movement. Though Greene still publicly supports Trump on many fronts, her critiques underscore tensions between populist expectations and political realities. Some observers see her shift as signaling broader fissures within the party—especially as Republican leadership struggles to satisfy both elite supporters and its grassroots base.
