Overview
- Speaking in the Oval Office on Nov. 10, President Trump said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene "has lost her way" and defended viewing the presidency as a "worldwide" responsibility.
- Greene fired back that she is "100% America first and only," urging nonstop White House focus on domestic policy and pressing Republicans to tackle rising health insurance costs and ACA subsidy concerns.
- The dust-up followed Trump’s meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al‑Sharaa, which Greene criticized as misplaced attention on foreign leaders during a period of high prices at home.
- Greene has recently broken with GOP leadership on multiple fronts, including calling Israel’s Gaza war a "genocide," urging release of DOJ Epstein records, and condemning the House’s inactivity during the shutdown.
- The public dispute highlights broader tensions inside Trump’s coalition over messaging and priorities after recent off‑cycle Democratic gains, with most Republicans still reluctant to challenge the president.
