Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out Trump’s blatant lie on inflation

Trump squashed her dream of being a senator so the gloves are coming off.

I heard on a podcast (Pod Save America) this morning that she's apparently talked to confidants about running for President next election. She's trying to wash her reputation by suddenly sounding a tad more reasonable.

It's a trick, get an axe

She might be bonkers but she’s shrewd and seen the way the winds blowing. She’s going to do a Liz Truss and position herself as the ‘sensible’ option for change in the MAGA movement, when Trump either pops his clogs or the Epstein Files drop.

At this point I figure Sam Beckett leaping in to MTG is most reasonable answer.

I don't even know what to do in a world where MTG is making sense.

Just bc she’s honest about problems we are facing doesn’t mean she has good answers.

Three-toed salute, or something.

He's not just hurting the right people. If she and her family were unaffected. She would be giddily cheering him to war with Venezuela and blue cities. She is and will always be a shit person. She's just not used to consequences.

It’s weird that this Queen of Lying and Denying Reality is somehow becoming a voice of truth…She must be worried about midterms. ROFL

I'm guessing as a career opportunist, she has built her strategy about being "an outsider looking to improve things" as a populist or someone that is critical without actually providing any solutions. When the GOP are not in power, this strategy works. However, now that the GOP control all 3 branches of government, the only way to use the "outsider" strategy is to attack the GOP itself. I don't think for a second that, were she to gain a leadership position, she would provide rational and realistic solutions.

So we can enjoy watching them fight themselves, but I don't think it will lead to any meaningful change or improvement in the life of Americans.

When it comes to their young...

she's safe in her seat. ga14 is rated r+19 (cook pvi), the most republican-leaning district in that state.

You are correct. But she can be a useful idiot.

My first thought after this was in fact 'Oh shit, MTG really is going to run for president isn't she'.

Still fucks with my head when she says things that make sense. Are we sure she didn't have a stroke or something?

The first woman president will be a Republican, and she will be horrifying.

I don't think that will happen. I'm getting the impression people don't like her because a crazy mean idiot - more than what MAGA can stomach.

She'd bow and lick at Trumps feet and even he dodged her.

Her 15 minutes are over. This is her last gasp.

I think she’s cleverer than most people give her credit for because she’s also batshit. The MAGA movement is going to eat itself as the reality of Trumps policies ramp up and polling tanks. She is distancing herself early so she looks like she was right all along when the bullshit excuses run out. She’s being cordial and making sure not to look opportunist but I guarantee you in 2027 she will start saying the ideas aren’t wrong, just the implementation. She will run on cutting aid to Israel, pulling out of Venezuela and retaining ICE but with some optics only ‘humanitarian’ guidelines.

Margret Thatcher Greene

Look at her. She's not his type.

She's trying to position herself as successor to trump now people are going to be slapped by the reality of his presidency.

She wants a senate seat and was told no so now she’s doing this shit out of spite, not because she had any epiphany. She’s still just a selfish cunt

That would be demented enough for him to do that there’s a non-zero chance. But then you could say that about anything. Because of the dementia.

Wait until Trump dies. Then the real fun begins.
