Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was once considered one of President Donald Trump's most ardent backers, but she has become increasingly vocal in recent months in echoing many Democrat criticisms of his White House, the Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and the way they all handled the government shutdown.

On Monday, Trump suggested in response to Greene's oppositional rhetoric that she had "lost her way" and was "catering to the other side," according to the Daily Caller.

That response followed the congresswoman's sharp critique earlier that day of the president's White House meeting with the new leader of Syria, who previously led an Al Qaeda-linked militant group that helped force out former Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad but has also persecuted Christians and other minorities.

Greene wants Trump focused on "domestic policy" and not foreign affairs

In a Monday morning X post that included an old "Wanted" poster, Rep. Greene wrote, "The new leader of Syria is a former Al Qaeda terrorist wanted by our government who is meeting with President Trump today at the White House on the U.S. Marine’s 250th anniversary."

"He rose to power in Dec 2024, sanctions were lifted off Syria in June, and many Christians and minority groups have been killed before and after sanctions were lifted," she continued. "Syria is the oldest home of Christianity outside of Israel. The apostle Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus."

"I pray the persecution ends, not only in Syria, but all around the world," the congresswoman said. "However, I would really like to see nonstop meetings at the WH on domestic policy not foreign policy and foreign country’s leaders."

Echoing some of her Democratic colleagues' concerns about rising healthcare insurance costs, Greene added, "Start by hauling in the health insurance company’s executives and let’s start formulating our Republican plan to save America from Obamacare and ACA tax credits that have skyrocketed the cost of health insurance!"

Trump says Greene has "lost her way"

The Daily Caller reported that, following his meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a White House reporter asked President Trump for his reaction to Rep. Greene's criticisms on that meeting, the high costs of living, and his purported lack of attention toward other domestic affairs.

"I don’t know what happened to Marjorie. She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened," Trump said. "She’s lost her way, I think, but I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally. We could have a world that’s on fire, where wars come to our shores very easily if you had a bad president."

He went on to tout his foreign policy accomplishments thus far in comparison to his predecessor's "horrible" presidency, most notably the multiple conflicts he's helped end, and pointed out, "When you’re president, you really have to sort of watch over the world because you are going to be dragged into it otherwise."

Trump also highlighted some of his domestic policy achievements, including the improved economy and tax cuts, and added, "So when somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is now catering to the other side … I guess she’s got some kind of an act going, but I’m surprised at her. But when somebody like Marjorie goes over and starts making statements like that, it shows she doesn’t know."

Greene claims she's "America first and only"

NBC News reported on President Trump's remarks in response to Rep. Greene's critiques of his focus on foreign affairs, ostensibly to the detriment of ignored domestic issues, which have ramped up over the past month as the federal government has remained largely shut down.

In response to what Trump had said, Greene replied in part in a statement, "I haven’t lost my way. I’m 100% America first and only!"

However, the president who ran on the "America First" message defended his engagement on foreign issues and acknowledged in his commentary, "You know, it’s easy to say, 'Oh, don’t worry about the world,' but the world is turning out to be our biggest customer. The world was on fire, and we could have been in that fire very easily."
