Trump launches fiery attack on Marjorie Taylor Greene: ‘She’s a nice woman but she’s lost her way’
Donald Trump believes one of his most vociferous defenders has lost her way.
The President was quizzed about criticism he has faced from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene at a press conference on Monday.
When asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about Greene’s recent critique that Trump should spend more time focused on domestic policy issues than foreign ones, he questioned his historically close ally’s fidelity.
‘I don’t know what happened to Marjorie,’ the President responded in the Oval Office.
‘She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think.’
Speaking after a ceremony to swear in Sergio Gor, the US Ambassador to India, Trump also noted how Greene has recently been ‘catering to the other side.’
The Georgia congresswoman has recently been outspoken in her criticism of her own party, including President Trump and GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson.
But in a statement to the Daily Mail, Greene pushed back: ‘I haven’t lost my way. I’m 100% America first and only!’

The 51-year-old mother of three has posted on social media over the last month about Republicans lacking a plan to bring down rising health care costs – an argument similarly made by Democrats who have opposed Republican-authored legislation to reopen the currently shutdown government.
Since she has begun airing her complaints online, the firebrand conservative has been invited multiple times to appear on CNN, a network that hardly hosted her before her critiques.
Last week, Green was invited onto ABC’s ‘The View,’ a noted liberal haven, where she was, for the most part, welcomed warmly.
Democratic lawmakers have also begun shifting their tones on Greene, endorsing her positions as they align with their political goals.
‘I’m surprised at her,’ Trump said.
Earlier on Monday, Greene had taken to X to post about how Trump should be full-bore ahead on domestic issues facing Americans.
‘I would really like to see nonstop meetings at the WH on domestic policy not foreign policy and foreign country’s leaders,’ she wrote.
Her post continued: ‘Start by hauling in the health insurance company’s executives and let’s start formulating our Republican plan to save America from Obamacare and ACA tax credits that have skyrocketed the cost of health insurance!’
United States President Donald Trump meets with Syrian President Ahmed Shara at the White House in Washington DC, November 10, 2025
Trump was surprised by MTG’s recent comments, he said on Monday
Greene’s statement came just before Syrian President Ahmed al-Shara was set to visit the White House.
His trip to meet Trump on Monday, which was closed to the press, was the first time a Syrian leader had come to the White House since 1946.
In August, Greene told the Daily Mail in an exclusive interview that she has increasingly felt alienated by her own party.
‘I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m kind of not relating to Republican Party as much anymore,’ she revealed at the time. ‘I don’t know which one it is.’
‘I think the Republican Party has turned its back on America First and the workers and just regular Americans,’ she said then.
