MTG calls idea of wedge between Trump and MAGA base ‘complete lie’ despite her ‘not happy’ comments

Published May 6, 2025 4:18pm ET



Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) dismissed the notion that there is a divide between President Donald Trump and his MAGA base, a sentiment that was fueled by one her own recent statements. 

On May 2, Greene wrote in a post to X that she represents Trump’s base and that “when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy.” She then outlined a number of items that Trump, his Cabinet, or congressional Republicans have spearheaded in recent months, argued that they are not what the base voted for, and concluded, “when you are losing MTG, you are losing the base.”
