President Donald Trump is firing back at Northwest Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, saying she’s “lost her way” after she accused him of focusing too much on global issues and not enough on the rising cost of living. The exchange happened Monday in Washington, where Trump met with Syria’s leader and swore in a new ambassador to India. Speaking afterward, he told reporters, I don’t know what happened to Marjorie — nice woman. She’s lost her way, I think. Greene, who represents much of Northwest Georgia, told NBC News last week that the president’s foreign policy focus isn’t helping people struggling with high prices. Watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans,” she said. “It’s not reducing the cost of living or fixing health insurance premiums. It’s not solving the problems plaguing vulnerable people, especially young people. Trump defended his approach, saying being president means thinking globally. “We could have a world that’s on fire, where wars come to our shores very easily if you had a bad president,” he said. He also accused Greene of “catering to the other side” and said her criticism surprised him. The back-and-forth comes after recent elections where voters in several states leaned toward Democrats, citing frustration with the cost of living. Trump has continued to claim that inflation is easing under his leadership and has blamed the earlier spike in prices on former President Joe Biden. Still, federal data shows consumer prices have crept up again since Trump reinstated tariffs earlier this year. Despite this clash, Greene has long been one of Trump’s strongest allies, often appearing alongside him at rallies and campaign stops across the U.S. Depend on us to keep you posted.
