Trump's Intimate Advisor Sounds Alarm to President Regarding 'Neocons' Potential Threats
Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling out the rift inside the GOP, and it's not her beef with President Donald Trump, she told Daily Mail in a candid chat, it's between ‘neocons’ and conservatives.
The firebrand isn't pulling any punches,claiming that Capitol Hill'soverlinepublicansarestillhookedonsendingtroopsabroad - despite the former President running on a promise to end America's overseas entanglements and bring peace to the globe.
Greene sent shockwaves through the corridors of power when she penned a tirade stating, "I represent the base and when I'm pissed off about the direction things are heading, you best believe, the base ain't happy."
The Georgia congresswoman clarified her heated post was not about the President but 'typical Republican leadership' which, along with 'classic neocons', she accused of hijacking the MAGA movement away from Trump.
Neocons generally advocate for U.S. intervention worldwide, like the wars in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
"I'm not pointing fingers, but you all know it's the same old crap," Greene said of the influences casting a shadow over the GOP. "[The] Classic neocon establishment in Washington. It's just an obstacle."
An apparent example, she claimed, is the Senate's beef with Ed Martin, Trump's nominee for the DC District Attorney. The sitting Senators, like Thom Tillis of North Carolina, are opposing Martin, and this could potentially stall Martin's confirmation. Greene thus blames Tillis and others for obstructing Trump's agenda.
"We've got problems in Congress," she told the Daily Mail. "[Trump's] agenda isn't getting through Congress."
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told Daily Mail that she feels certain Republicans are not onboard with achieving her buddy President Trump's mission in Congress.
Greene also raised concerns about ‘neocons’ who don't seem interested in pushing the MAGA agenda to the max. She warned darkly that some, that she declines to name, have even been whispering in Trump's ear that America should pick a fight with Iran.
Greene named Collins and Tillis as part of the 'neocon' clique working against Trump.
"Look at the Senate. We've got, what is it? Four or five senators saying 'No Ed Martin,'" Greene shared. "Susan Collins is one of them, and she's the Chair of Appropriations. These are influential people that refuse to pass the president's agenda."
Americans "didn't vote for Susan Collins or Tom Tillis" to lead the White House, she said.
"So why would Senate Republicans hold that up?" Greene asked. "It's the divide between typical Republican leadership and control in Washington, D.C., and all the malarkey that comes with it."
But it's not just her Senate colleagues she takes issue with; Greene turns her gaze on some of her House peers as well. Greene chairs the House's DOGE subcommittee and expressed skepticism that many Republicans will have the guts to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, uncovered by the team led by Trump appointee Elon Musk.
"His executive orders, DOGE cuts, rescissions, those are the easiest things," the Republican said, noting how DOGE's dig for wasteful programs is pointless unless Congress implements legislation to enshrine the reforms.
Greene also called attention to the mountain of executive actions, now at 143, which she believes should be inscribed into law.
To emphasize her point, she brought up her initiative to enshrine the name change of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Trump championed the name change, even hanging a poster of the revised name in the Oval Office and sporting hats adorned with the new phrase.
Despite some Republicans grumbling over the measure, Greene dared any GOP lawmaker to stand up and "stand with Mexico."
Overall, the congresswoman also gave a stern warning against those advocating for foreign wars and Washington's status quo. This notion seems to be pushing the president's White House off-balance.
"The Republican establishment thinks they can handle this like a speed bump," Greene told the Daily Mail. "They know that President Trump can't run again."
"They'd love to continue moving forward in the same path and try to get over him like a speed bump and keep going," the Georgia congresswoman continued.
"And my voice is essential to prevent that from happening," she added.
The Georgian has been a MAGA ally for a decade and has regularly written for conservative online outlets before becoming a member of Congress three days before January 6, 2021.
Greene has been vocal about her discontent with her own party.
Greene has a massive social media presence for any Congress member on X, boasting a combined 6.3 million followers, over a million followers on Instagram, and more than half a million on Facebook.
When Daily Mail asked Greene why the ‘base’ is grumbling, she quickly zeroed in on one reason, war.
"Washington, D.C., has a war addiction," Greene told the Daily Mail. "President Trump is on record for decades saying we need global peace."
Then she praised the President for brokering a peace deal with the Houthis in Yemen, which have been bombing ships in the Red Sea, a vital shipping route.
"This is exactly one of the reasons why I backed the President - because he has been working for peace and ending overseas conflicts," the lawmaker said.
"However, we've seen 'neocons' trying to push him towards a war with Iran, which we want nothing to do with. Ordinary Americans don't want that. Nobody's interested in a war with Iran," Greene stated.
She then dove into the continuing war in Ukraine, the war in Afghanistan, and other conflicts the U.S. has lost much in, which she blames on 'neocons.'
"That's why I said, if you're losing me and I'm ticked off at you, you're losing the base." Greene claimed. "And you can read all the comments, I'm right, and the comments support my stance."
- Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized the Senate for potentially obstructing President Donald Trump's agenda by opposing Ed Martin, Trump's nominee for the DC District Attorney.
- Greene expressed concern about neocons who seem disinterested in pushing the MAGA agenda to its utmost extent and have reportedly advised Trump to pick a fight with Iran.
- Greene believes that Republicans in Congress need to enshrine President Trump's executive orders, DOGE cuts, and rescissions into law, rather than only relying on executive actions, to ensure lasting reform.
