Marjorie Taylor Greene says Trump no longer deserves Nobel Peace Prize: 'Absolutely not'

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Trump supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene, who once believed the President deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, has walked back on her previous stance. She now feels that Donald Trump is no longer worthy of the prestigious honor.

In a recent interview about the Iran war, Greene has said in interviews that she doesn’t believe the government has made a strong case for continuing the war with Iran

Shift from earlier praise

Greene previously supported the idea that Trump deserved a Nobel Peace Prize, citing his past calls to reduce foreign conflicts and avoid prolonged wars.

“The reality is, this is something that Americans are so fed up with, and we voted to end it,” she said. “That’s what we voted for, to end all of this.”

“Here we are over a year into President Trump's administration, and we're in a full-scale war with Iran that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon, so no, none of it makes sense.”

MTG pointed to the ongoing war with Iran as evidence that those expectations have not been met.

At the time, Trump frequently presented himself as a “president of peace,” promising to avoid new military entanglements and bring existing wars to an end.

Greene said those earlier positions were the reason she once believed the president merited the award.

“At one time, when he wanted to be the president of peace, and he wanted to end wars, and constantly talked about no more foreign wars, no ending wars, of course I thought he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.”

The current conflict has changed her view

However, she said the current conflict has changed her view.

“Do I think he deserves it now? No, absolutely not.”

The comments reflect growing debate among some conservative lawmakers about the direction of US foreign policy as the conflict with Iran continues.

Greene also argued that attitudes toward military intervention differ between generations of Americans.

“Our generations have been the ones that have been sent to fight these wars in the Middle East, and our generations have paid a huge cost.”

She said younger generations, including Generation X and millennials, have borne the costs of decades of conflicts in the Middle East.

“It really angers me, Kaitlan, because I feel like they're ruining it for the rest of us. They're leaving us with tens of trillions of national debt.”

The congresswoman also connected the war debate to bigger economic issues, like the national debt and the long-term strain on programs like Social Security.

She said that a lot of Americans want the US to focus on trade, peace, and working together economically instead of fighting wars.
