President Donald Trump issued a sharp rebuke to Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene following her recent comments critical of the White House.
CNN White House correspondent Caitlan Collins asked Trump about Greene's social media post expressing disappointment over his White House meeting with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda leader, on Monday. The reporter also pressed the president over her comments criticizing the administration over the cost of living and other domestic policy issues.

“I don’t know what happened to Marjorie,” Trump responded. “She's a good woman, but I don't know what happened. I think she's lost her way, but I have to look at the presidency as a worldwide situation, not a local one. We could have a world that's burning and wars very easily coming to our shores if you had a bad president.”
He called former President Joe Biden a “terrible president,” pointing to conflicts that began during his administration. “I've started 8 wars, with 9 more to go. I think I'll take care of another one,” Trump said, before highlighting the economic impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the US.
“When you're president, you really have to kind of watch the world because otherwise you get pulled into it,” he added. (RELATED: Hell has frozen over: Liberals praise Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene)
Trump then cited his support for “one big beautiful bill,” calling it “the largest tax cut in the history of the country,” before taking another jab at Greene.
“So when someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's now catering to the other side… I think she's putting on some kind of show, but I'm surprised at her. But when someone like Marjorie comes along and starts making statements like that, it shows that she doesn't know.”
Greene mentioned al-Sharaa's visit to the White House to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps in a post Monday on X. She also noted the recent lifting of sanctions and the ongoing persecution of Christians in Syria, writing, “However, I would really like to see ongoing meetings at the White House on domestic policy rather than foreign policy and foreign leaders.”

Greene also addressed the cost of living on Sunday. interview on “On The Record” on Atlanta News First (ANF). “I give President Trump and his administration credit for keeping that rate at 2.5% right now, which is about average, which is good. But life is unaffordable,” she said, turning her attention to health insurance and other issues.
