Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Donald Trump’s recent moves in Iran “really angers” her when confronted on CNN about her past praise for him.
The moment unfolded during Greene’s appearance on “The Source” when host Kaitlan Collins asked her whether Trump still deserved a Nobel Peace Prize amid escalating tensions abroad. The former MAGA lawmaker acknowledged she once believed he was worthy of the international honor.
“At one time, when he wanted to be the president of peace, he wanted to end wars and constantly talked about no more foreign wars… of course, I thought he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize,” Greene said Friday. “But do I think he deserves it now? No. Absolutely not.”
Greene went on to frame her criticism in generational terms, arguing that younger Americans are weary of foreign wars.
“It really angers me, Kaitlan, because I feel like they’re ruining it for the rest of us,” she said, referring to older leaders she called “baby boomers that are… just clinging to power.”
Greene warned that continued military engagement overseas could widen the national debt and threaten future Social Security payments, adding that younger generations “don’t want war with the world.”
“We want peace,” she said. “We desperately want peace between all of our nations.” She then took another shot at Trump.
“I’m praying for the administration to stop the insanity,” Greene said. The exchange comes as Trump announced that he had ordered “one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East.”
