Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of Donald Trump’s loudest supporters in Congress, sent shockwaves through the MAGA movement this week by drawing a clear line: “Trump is not a king.”
In a lengthy post Wednesday on X, the Georgia congresswoman said she still supports Trump but isn’t afraid to challenge him.
“He is our elected President, and I support him, even when I occasionally disagree with him,” she wrote. “I’m an American and having my own opinion and the freedom to speak it is the most American way. MAGA is not a cult,” she said. “It’s a populist political movement… If MAGA can’t hold it together on an occasional disagreement then MAGA will lose its power.”
But Greene’s real warning was aimed not at Trump — but at the people around him.
She accused warmongering political insiders of disguising themselves as MAGA to hijack the movement.
“Currently the establishment has wrapped themselves in MAGA like a costume, speaking our language and infiltrating our movement, and is waiting to take back control,” Greene said. “But they can’t yet because we still have our champion, Trump, to rally around and beat the establishment back.”
She warned that when Trump eventually leaves the political stage, these same forces will try to reclaim control.
“That is a harsh reality coming and those are going to be very difficult shoes to fill, which will lead to disappointment for many,” she said.
Greene took direct aim at the push for military action overseas — especially the growing calls in Washington to involve the U.S. in a conflict between Israel and Iran.
“I have always taken a hard stance against America going into foreign wars and regime change and forcing the American military to do it and the American people to pay for it,” she wrote.
“To me it’s the most hypocritical thing in the world… war after war after war.”
According to Greene, her office is being flooded with support from both Republicans and Democrats who agree with her anti-war stance.
“Many Democrats [are] thanking me for taking a stand against U.S. involvement in Israel’s war against Iran,” she said.
She also criticized a proposed federal moratorium on AI regulation that she says would strip states of their rights to make laws for the next decade.
“This has also been a very unifying issue among the people, Republicans and Democrats, and calls are coming in from both sides supporting my stance,” she added.
Greene closed with a sweeping attack on both major parties, accusing them of putting war, money, and power above the American people.
“Both political parties always put special interests, foreign countries/wars, and their own grip on power above the American people and the future of our country,” she said. “Moving forward there must be a better way to serve Americans and save our children’s future. We should not be divided on that.”
