Trump Slams Greene for "Acting" to Gain Attention from Democrats
President Donald Trump appeared to be at odds with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over her recent stances on foreign policy, suggesting she had "lost her way" and was now trying to gain attention from Democrats by taking a more moderate approach.
Speaking to reporters on Monday, the president stated that Greene's actions are indicative of her being "catering to the other side," implying that she is trying too hard to appeal to Democratic voters. Trump also claimed that Greene has somehow put on an act for the sake of gaining favor with Democrats, saying he was surprised by her stance.
However, Rep. Greene rejected Trump's characterization in a statement to CNN, insisting that she had not lost her way and remained committed to her "America First" agenda. Her response came after the president made these comments during a meeting with her in the Oval Office.
Greene has been vocal about her opposition to Israel's assault on Gaza and advocating for the release of the Epstein files, which have led to criticism from some within the Republican Party. The rift between Trump and Greene is continuing to grow, as the two have previously clashed over their views on various issues.
The president's comments have left many questioning his intentions and whether he has a personal stake in attacking Greene's stance. The situation highlights the deep divisions within the Republican Party and its leadership under Trump's watch.
Greene's response indicates that she remains resolute in her commitment to her party's values, despite facing criticism from some of her own colleagues.
