WASHINGTON ‒ President Donald Trump said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, long one of his strongest MAGA allies, has "lost her way" after the Georgia Republican congresswoman criticized the president for focusing too much on foreign policy.

"I don't know what happened to Marjorie," Trump told reporters Nov. 10 in the Oval Office. "She's a nice woman, but I don't know what happened. She's lost her way, I think."

Trump's comments come as Greene has increasingly spoken out against Republican leadership, particularly over health care. Greene has argued House Speaker Mike Johnson has failed to deliver a plan to reform the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. And during an appearance on ABC's "The View last week, she called it an "embarrassment" that the GOP-led House was out of session a month into the shutdown.

Greene shifted her criticism to Trump on Nov. 10, writing on X, "I would really like to see nonstop meetings at the WH on domestic policy not foreign policy and foreign country’s leaders." Greene was referring to Trump hosting Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House.

"I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally," Trump said in response to Greene's remarks. "We could have a world that's on fire where wars come to our shore very easily if you had a bad president."

Trump later added: "When somebody like Marjorie Taylor Greene ‒ who's now catering to the other side, I don't know, she's got some kind of an act going, but I'm surprised at her. But when somebody like Marjorie goes over and starts making statements like that, it shows she doesn't know."

Greene, a hardline Republican in her third congressional term, has long been one of Trump's most outspoken supporters. She wore a red "Make America Great Again" hat during the president's joint address to Congress in March.

In July, Green passed on a bid to run for Georgia governor in 2026. Last week, she sought to shut down speculation amid her political shift that she might run for president in 2028.

“The only thing that I’m focused on is being a representative for my district," Greene told NewsNation on Nov. 5.
