Greene says Trump, GOP promised ‘America First,’ then delivered ‘America LAST’
NEWNow you can listen to Fox News articles!
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene predicted that Republicans will lose control of the House of Representatives — and possibly the Senate — in the 2026 midterm elections, arguing that President Donald Trump and the GOP promised “America First” but delivered the opposite.
Greene, a former staunch Trump ally turned outspoken critic, declared in a Thursday column on X that “Americans are suffering,” “Both parties are complete failures,” and that “the system needs to burn.”
“Americans don’t advertise[—] about Trump building the WH ballroom or renovating the Kennedy Center as they pay 4+ dollars per gallon for gas and almost 6 dollars for diesel because of another useless foreign war. The American people are suffering. Constantly suffering from high credit card debt. You suffer from ridiculously high health insurance costs. Suffering from the high cost of living. “You are suffering from ever-increasing inflation and an ever-decreasing dollar because of all the stupid decisions made by stupid politicians,” the former minister wrote.

“Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms and maybe the Senate too because Trump and the Republicans sold out America First but instead ruled America LAST,” he continued. “Democrats put illegal and transient people above the American people and offer no new policies to solve the problems they created. Both parties have failed miserably.”

Greene resigned midway through his two-year term earlier this year after falling out with Trump last year.
“Don’t teach your voters that you should vote for them if you have deliberately failed and betrayed your campaign promises just because the other side is intolerable. Back off. You are betraying the American people, putting the American people last, you deserve to lose, you don’t deserve support,” he wrote in the post.

“Many Americans are learning to live without this system and they don’t want anything to do with it anywhere. Domestic markets, farming and farmers, housing, communication between them how many of us will survive beyond the madness of two parties. We have turned a corner and the system needs to heat up,” he concluded.
