Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has intensified her public criticism of former President Donald Trump, challenging his policies on trade, immigration, and political focus. In a recent interview with comedian Tim Dillon, Greene accused Trump of prioritizing wealthy “crypto donors” and AI investors over the working-class voters who propelled him to power. She cited manufacturing concerns over tariffs, arguing they hurt supply chains and fail to relieve financial stress for everyday Americans.

Greene also expressed frustration with Trump’s embrace of elites who previously opposed him. “The focus should be the people that stood in line for 18 hours at rallies,” she said, suggesting that the administration has lost touch with its core base. Her remarks reflect growing dissatisfaction with the current direction of Trump’s leadership among some Republicans.

Her comments mark a significant escalation in her public split from Trump and come just days after she blamed her own party for the partial government shutdown — a claim that Democrats were quick to embrace. Figures such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries praised Greene’s stance, offering a rare moment of bipartisan agreement.

On immigration, Greene surprised many conservatives by advocating for a more pragmatic labor policy. She acknowledged that the U.S. economy relies on some undocumented workers and called for smarter immigration reforms rather than mass deportations. This position signals a departure from traditional hardline stances within her party.

Greene, whose net worth is estimated at over $24 million, insists her positions are grounded in reality rather than political strategy. She recently hinted that she may be drifting away from the Republican Party, saying she no longer feels aligned with it. Her criticism of Trump and the GOP may indicate deeper fractures within the party as it prepares for the 2026 elections.
