Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has thrown a sharp jab at President Trump, questioning why he’s rolling out the red carpet for international figures when domestic concerns are piling up at home.
According to The Hill, this latest clash centers on Trump’s recent engagements with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a planned meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sparking a public feud between Greene and the president she once staunchly supported.
The tension between Greene and Trump has been simmering for months, culminating in a very public falling-out that’s hard to ignore.
Last month, Greene made waves by announcing she’s stepping back from Congress, a move that raised eyebrows among her base.
Not long after, Trump pulled his endorsement, branding her a “traitor” in a stinging rebuke that’s left many wondering about the future of their political alliance.
Greene, never one to shy away from a fight, fired back, refusing to play the victim in this high-stakes drama.
On Sunday, Trump hosted Zelensky in Palm Beach, Fla., as part of his ongoing efforts to address conflicts in Eastern Europe.
With a meeting slated for Monday with Netanyahu, Trump continues to dive headfirst into international disputes, particularly those involving Israel and the Middle East.
Greene didn’t hold back, taking to social platform X to vent her frustration with a pointed question: “Zelensky today. Netanyahu tomorrow. Can we just do America?”
That quip cuts to the heart of Greene’s critique—she’s fed up with what she sees as a misplaced focus on foreign entanglements over American priorities.
She’s long opposed military aid to conflict zones in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, even slamming a deal earlier this year that saw the Trump administration commit more funds to Ukraine in exchange for critical minerals. Greene has also taken a bold stance on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, becoming the first Republican to call it a “genocide,” a label that’s stirred plenty of debate.
In the wake of her rift with Trump, Greene made it clear she’s not here for political abuse, stating she did not want to be a “battered wife” in this fallout.
Her defiance is rooted in a desire to protect her district and family from what she sees as unnecessary political mudslinging, while still pushing for policies she believes put America first.
Meanwhile, Trump’s early second-term focus on ending foreign conflicts shows no sign of slowing, even as voices like Greene’s demand a pivot to domestic challenges—a tension that’s unlikely to resolve anytime soon.
