Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is once again turning her criticism toward President Donald Trump, amplifying recent complaints about his policy priorities, his trade strategy, and the direction of his second term in office. Her latest remarks came during an extended interview with comedian and podcaster Tim Dillon, where Greene argued that Trump has shifted his attention away from the voters who delivered him back to the White House.

Greene accused the administration of allowing influential financial backers to shape key decisions—particularly those related to tariffs and trade. She suggested that the White House’s economic approach is being guided by powerful donors in the cryptocurrency and tech sectors, rather than by working-class Americans.

“I’m talking to major manufacturers who support the president’s long-term goals, but these tariffs are creating real issues,” Greene said. “They can’t get the supplies they need from abroad, and they’re struggling to produce supplies here. It’s hurting them.”

She argued that while Trump has promised economic relief, everyday families have yet to feel meaningful relief from inflation and rising costs.

“Regular people aren’t seeing any of the pressure come off their bank accounts,” Greene said. “The focus shouldn’t be on crypto donors or AI billionaires suddenly showing up at fancy receptions. It should be on the people who put Trump back in office.”

Greene emphasized that Trump’s most loyal supporters—the individuals who waited hours in brutal weather to attend rallies—are the ones now being overlooked.

“These are the people I care about,” she said. “They stood outside all day in the rain, the cold, or 100-degree heat because they believed in something. Those are the voters who elected Trump and every Republican who now has power. And I don’t see those voters being represented.”

Her remarks mark a notable deepening of her public split with the president, coming only a few days after she openly blamed the ongoing partial government shutdown on Republicans themselves. Democrats swiftly embraced her critique, seizing on the internal rift within the GOP.

Left-leaning outlets and commentators have shown unusual praise for Greene’s recent positions. Slate published a tongue-in-cheek article titled “Marjorie Taylor Greene, Welcome to the Resistance,” celebrating her willingness to confront Republicans over health care funding and the budget standoff.

Even Democratic leaders chimed in. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Greene “acknowledges this fight is about the health care of the American people,” while Sen. Elizabeth Warren said she agreed with Greene’s insistence that both parties must resolve the issue quickly. “Get back to work,” Warren said. “These subsidies matter.”

In addition to her criticism of Trump’s trade agenda, Greene shocked some conservative supporters by suggesting that the U.S. economy relies on certain sectors of undocumented labor. Speaking from her experience as a construction business owner, Greene argued that a mass deportation effort would harm essential industries.

“As a conservative and as someone who has hired workers in construction, I’m telling you—we need a realistic labor plan,” she said. “We need a smarter approach than rounding up every single person and deporting them. That’s not how the real world works. If people are mad at me for being honest, so be it.”

Greene—whose estimated net worth exceeds $24 million—stressed that her comments reflect practical reality rather than political positioning. She claimed she is willing to break with her party’s official stance if it conflicts with what she believes to be true.

The congresswoman has hinted for months that her relationship with the Republican Party is deteriorating. In an August interview with the Daily Mail, Greene contemplated whether she still belongs within the GOP.

“I don’t know if the Republican Party is leaving me, or if I’m the one drifting away,” she said. “Maybe we just don’t relate the same way anymore. I can’t tell if I’m changing or if the party is.”

Her latest remarks—attacking Trump’s strategy, criticizing House Republicans, and challenging long-held conservative positions on immigration—suggest that she may be charting a new political path, even as the rest of her party attempts to unify behind the president.

What that path looks like remains unclear. But Greene, never one to shy away from confrontation, appears prepared to escalate her disagreements publicly, even if it places her at odds with the movement she once championed.
