Marjorie Taylor Greene turns on Trump, says 'nothing changed' under Republican rule

WASHINGTON, DC: Former Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered one of her sharpest public rebukes of President Donald Trump since his return to the White House, accusing his administration and congressional Republicans of abandoning the promises that fueled the MAGA movement.

In a lengthy social media post ahead of a series of House votes, Greene criticized a slate of spending bills that include funding for the Pentagon and the war in Iran, arguing Republicans have embraced bigger government, mounting debt and another foreign conflict despite campaigning on fiscal discipline and an "America First" agenda. She capped her criticism with a striking declaration: "Nothing changed by electing Trump and Republicans."

Greene torches GOP spending agenda

Greene argued that House Republicans are preparing to vote on legislation that contradicts the priorities voters expected after handing the GOP unified control of Washington.

She criticized the proposed National Defense Authorization Act, claiming it would further tie US military intelligence to Israel, while also attacking a separate Trump-backed $93 billion package that includes roughly $60 billion for Pentagon operations linked to the war in Iran.

 Greene also objected to another continuing resolution to keep the government funded, accusing Republicans of extending spending rather than passing a balanced budget.

According to Greene, the bills represent a betrayal of campaign promises to reduce federal spending, rein in the nearly $40 trillion national debt and keep the United States out of new foreign wars.

'Nothing changed,' Greene declares

Greene's strongest criticism came at the end of her post, where she argued Republican control of Washington has produced little meaningful change for voters.

"Nothing changed by electing Trump and Republicans," she wrote, adding that the party's priorities now center on financing another foreign war, increasing federal spending and ignoring rising economic pressures at home.

She also pointed to gasoline prices climbing back to around $4 per gallon and shrinking levels in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as evidence that the administration has failed to deliver on another key Trump campaign promise to lower energy costs.

The comments mark a rare public split between Trump and one of his most recognizable MAGA allies at a critical moment for the administration.

While Greene has frequently defended Trump against Democratic criticism, her latest remarks instead accuse his administration of embracing the very policies Republicans spent years campaigning against.

With House lawmakers expected to vote on the spending measures before leaving Washington for the August recess, Greene's attack highlights growing frustration among some conservatives over defense spending, government borrowing and the direction of Trump's second-term agenda, raising new questions about whether Republican unity can hold as the administration pushes major legislation through Congress.
