Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene 'Frustrated And Upset' With The Trump Administration, Questions US Foreign Policy: 'You Better Be Clear, The Base Is Not Happy'

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently voiced her dissatisfaction over the current direction of U.S. foreign and domestic policies in a lengthy post on X.

What Happened: Greene took to X on Friday to express her concerns about the U.S.’s potential involvement in a war with Iran and the recent U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal.

She stated that the Donald Trump administration is becoming disconnected from its base and failing to follow through on its promises.

Greene criticized the continued approval of the COVID-19 vaccine despite reported side effects, and called for accountability for “law fair” waged against the American people in the past four years. 

Greene stated, “I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy.” She questioned the wisdom of engaging in foreign wars and the recent minerals deal with Ukraine, which she claimed was a repayment for U.S. aid misused by Ukraine.

Expressing dissatisfaction, she stated, "Why don't we just mine our own rare earth minerals that are tied up on federal lands that the government confiscated years ago?"

She also criticized Republicans for their inaction on election integrity and transgender issues, emphasizing the frustration felt by her supporters.

Greene wrapped up her long post, stating, “And Trump isn't on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.”

Why It Matters: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent supporter of President Trump, has now openly criticized the Trump administration, in a rare move.

Greene’s comments come in the wake of recent developments in U.S. foreign policy. The U.S. and Ukraine recently signed a deal to invest in Ukraine's mineral resources, oil, and gas sectors, a move seen as a key support for Ukraine and a signal to Russia of the U.S. commitment to a free and prosperous Ukraine.

Moreover, President Donald Trump threatened sanctions on nations purchasing Iranian oil and petrochemicals, causing a sharp rise in oil prices. 

Greene’s comments reflect the concerns of a significant portion of the American populace, indicating a growing divide in the country’s political landscape.
