Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump could be 'last' GOP president because of 'his utter failures'

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene on Saturday, August 8, said that President Donald Trump could become the “last” Republican president for a period of time, arguing that his administration has failed to deliver on several campaign promises. 

In a lengthy post on X, Greene listed a series of her grievances with the administration involving the Epstein files, government spending, immigration, the war in Iran and other issues. She said those disputes could contribute to voters becoming disillusioned with Republicans ahead of the November midterm elections.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump’s record could cost Republicans

Greene began her post by responding to Trump’s previous warnings that he could be the last Republican president if Republicans fail to pass the SAVE America Act. She rejected that prediction but argued that the party could face electoral consequences because of what she described as failures by the administration.

“No, actually, he won’t be the last Republican President, but he likely will be the last one for a while because of his own utter failures to deliver his own promises and campaign agenda, and because Republicans never deliver what they promise because they lie in the first place,” Greene wrote.

She then outlined a series of disagreements with the administration. Greene criticized Trump over his opposition to releasing the Epstein files, arguing that the issue had damaged public trust in the president.

Beyond national concerns, Greene also criticised the administration’s war with Iran, arguing that it contradicted Trump’s previous positions against foreign conflicts. She also criticized the impact of the conflict on US military weapons stockpiles.

Greene also criticized Trump over the cost of living, tariffs, government spending, the administration’s approach to the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda and immigration policies, including H-1B visas. 

Greene said these betrayals are contributing to voters turning away from the Republican Party, writing, “Trump’s out right betrayals, broken campaign promises, and the Republican Party turning back to it’s neocon war loving big spending useless ways is why so many people are walking away and are now politically homeless.” 

Trump repeats warning that he could be the ‘last Republican President’

Trump first warned in June that if Democrats win would eliminate the filibuster and claimed that Republicans would then be unable to advance their agenda. “The Republican Party will never win another Election. I will, sadly, be the last Republican President,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “The Republican Party isn’t at stake, our Country is." 

Trump renewed that warning in an interview with the PunchBowl on Friday, August 7, stating that, “and I'll tell you what, if they get in, I may be the last Republican president.”

The president then claimed that if the Senate acts on the SAVE America Act, then Republicans could remain in power for decades: “We would get, in the next two and a half years, we would get things that nobody ever dreamt of. We would be in office for the next hundred years.”
