Marjorie Taylor Greene slams Trump's Iran warning as betrayal of 2024 voter mandate

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday, January 1, 2026, to issue a warning to Iran about hurting peaceful protestors. In the post, he wrote that if they continued to kill them violently, the US would come to their rescue.

He added that America was “locked and ready to go,” and thanked everyone for their attention to the matter. 

Several representatives criticized Trump’s post, including former MAGA loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene, who said that Trump “threatening war” was “everything we voted against” in 2024. 

Marjorie Taylor Greene urges Trump to focus on 'home'

Marjorie Taylor Greene, or MTG, took to X to criticize Donald Trump’s recent Truth Social post as she claimed that he was “threatening” war on Iran.

She criticized Trump supporters by stating that they spent the past week “threatening a tax revolt” because they were angry about “never-ending waste,” fraud, and abuse of their hard-earned money being diverted to foreigners and “foreign wars.”

She wrote that the focus should be on “tax dollars” at “home” in America and defending American citizens’ “God-given freedoms and rights.”

Thomas Massie, who joined forces with MTG to stand by the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, also criticized Trump’s Truth Social post on X. He said that the Trump administration should not be “wasting military resources” on another country’s internal affairs. 

He also added that the execution of the warning would require Congressional authorization and said that he believed the threat wasn’t about “freedom of speech in Iran.”

“It’s about the dollar, oil, and Israel,” he concluded. 

Steve Bannon compares Trump to Hillary Clinton on Iran

The former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon compared Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton on Friday while discussing the president’s threat to Iran.

While on ‘War Room’, Bannon said that people were teasing that Samantha Power and Hillary Clinton must have been at the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve party because Trump saying “we’re locked and loaded” was “straight” from their “playbook.”

In another segment of the show, he argued that the Trump administration should enforce the sanctions and let them “run the economy as they’re running it.”

He added that “they” didn’t know what they were doing, stating that Iran followed their religious law and not the laws of a free market economy.

“The economy will crash, and the Persian people will overthrow these guys just like they overthrew the Shah,” he added.
