    Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said on Saturday
    that President Trump is rCLnot servingrCY the people who supported
    him.

    In a wide-ranging interview with podcaster Tim Dillon, Greene
    expressed concern that the President was ignoring the impact of
    tariffs and rising health insurance premiums on ordinary
    Americans. rCL[The focus] shouldnrCOt be about helping your crypto
    donors or your AI donors,rCY she said. rCLThe focus should be the
    people that showed up at the rallies, that stood there for
    freakinrCO 18 hours trying to get in the rain, in the cold, in the
    100-degree heat. I donrCOt think those people are being served.rCY

    While acknowledging TrumprCOs efforts to end wars and renegotiate
    trade deals, the congresswoman bemoaned the level aid going to
    other countries. rCLHere goes another $100 billion to Ukraine or
    $30 billion to Israel, but yet nobody can afford health insurance
    premiums,rCY Greene said. rCLThe President is trying to end wars and
    make it fair again for American trade, but thatrCOs bumpyrCaIrCOm
    talking to major manufacturing companies who are saying rCyWerCOre
    having problems with these tariffsrCO.rCY

    Greene, who identifies as rCLMAGA through and throughrCY and said she
    was rCLnever a never-Trumper,rCY criticised what she described as the dysfunction of the two-party system. She pointed to the rising
    costs of living and the ongoing struggles of the US health
    insurance market, saying neither Trump nor Republicans have
    offered concrete solutions. rCLTwo things I couldnrCOt find this
    week: the Epstein files or the Republican plan to fix the
    absolutely destroyed health insurance industry that got wiped out
    in 2015 with Obamacare,rCY she said. rCLWe are not doing anything to
    address the cost of living.rCY

    In recent weeks, the hard-Right North Georgia representative has
    been calling for an extension of provisions in the Affordable
    Care Act, ObamarCOs signature health-care policy, and even blamed
    Republicans for the ongoing government shutdown. rCLIrCOm absolutely
    disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax
    credits expire this year,rCY she wrote on X.

    Elsewhere in the interview, Greene pushed for greater
    accountability Jeffrey Epstein. While the White House has sought
    to downplay discussion surrounding the sex offender, Greene has
    supported a petition to force a vote on the release of
    information about individuals connected to Epstein. She warned
    Trump not to make any rash pardons. rCLI hope Ghislaine Maxwell and
    Diddy pardons are a joke,rCY she said.

    GreenerCOs comments reflect a broader frustration among some MAGA
    supporters who feel the movementrCOs priorities are being
    overlooked. rCLHave regular peoplerCOs bank accounts been affected?
    Has the stress come off?rCY she asked. rCLNo, that has not happened
    yet and that needs to be the major focus.rCY
