President Donald Trump on Monday said he believes Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has "lost her way," saying he's "surprised" by the MAGA lawmaker who has been one of his staunchest supporters.
Trump was answering a question in the Oval Office, as CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked: "Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is a big ally of yours, said that she would rather see you focused on non-stop domestic policy meetings here at the White House, instead of non-stop foreign policy meetings. What's your response to her saying that, and also saying that grocery prices are up and not down, as you've said?"
"I don't know what happened to Marjorie. She's a nice woman, but I don't know what happened. She's lost her way I think," Trump responded. "I'm surprised at her."
"I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally," he continued. "I mean we could have a world that's on fire where wars come to our shores very easily if you had a bad president. We had a horrible president and we ended up with Russia-Ukraine. We ended up with other disasters too."
"When you're president, you really sort of have to watch over the world because you're gonna be dragged into it otherwise, you're gonna be dragged into a world war."
Investigative journalist Laura Loomer took note of Trump's opinion of MTG, and said: "President Trump just confirmed publicly what I have been telling you all for months.
"He can't stand her and she's lying about being close with him and lying about speaking to him regularly."
Does Greene have aspirations for higher office? NOTUS reported the Christian congresswoman "is telling people she wants to run for president in 2028."
"She has confided to colleagues that she wants to run for president, according to four sources familiar with the matter, including one who has spoken with her directly about it," the news outlet explained.
"One source says her conversations have centered around her belief she is 'real MAGA and that the others have strayed,' adding that she believes she has 'the national donor network to win the primary.'"
"After publication, Greene texted NOTUS, saying she 'saw you posted a baseless article.' NOTUS sent an inquiry to her communications director ahead of publication, but Greene asked why NOTUS had not reached out to a different person in her office.
"Who is your source? Laura Loomer? She claimed I was running for governor last week and announcing it in the view. Once again you publish baseless gossip. Very disappointing. Don't text me again," Greene said.
Meanwhile, Greene is excited about her first book, "MTG," which is set to be released Nov. 21.
