On August 17, 2025, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) publicly thanked President Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to Washington, D.C., crediting him with making the city “safe again.”
The gesture, shared via a video posted on X, marked a shift from recent tensions between Greene and Trump, as the congresswoman had previously criticized the president’s administration over policy decisions and personnel choices.
Her remarks, which included flattery of Trump’s leadership, followed a series of public disputes, including a clash with far-right activist Laura Loomer, highlighting the complex dynamics within the MAGA movement.
Greene’s praise centered on Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to address ongoing protests in D.C., a move she described as a restoration of order. “My personal thank you to President Trump for making Washington DC safe again!!” she wrote on X, accompanying a video where she lauded Trump’s swift action.
The deployment followed reports of unrest in the capital, with Trump’s administration emphasizing a hardline stance on public safety.
This public endorsement came days after Greene faced criticism from Loomer, who accused her of disloyalty to Trump, prompting Greene to defend her record as a steadfast supporter.
A Turbulent Relationship with the Trump Administration
The congresswoman’s relationship with Trump has been turbulent in recent weeks.
On August 5, 2025, Greene expressed frustration with Trump’s inner circle, stating on X that he was “not listening to his true supporters” and was “rolling out the red carpet” for establishment Republicans and former Never-Trumpers.
She also voiced concerns over the administration’s handling of issues like the Ukraine minerals deal and negotiations with Iran, as reported by The Hill.
Additionally, Greene broke with Trump by defending former Fox News host Tucker Carlson after the president called him “kooky,” a rare public divergence from her typically unwavering loyalty, per MSN.
Greene’s criticisms have not been limited to Trump’s circle.
She recently clashed with Fox News host Mark Levin, who reportedly called her “an absolute lunatic with an IQ of a snail” after she labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza as “genocide.”
Greene hit back, accusing Levin of prioritizing Israel over America and warning that Fox News’ aging audience was out of touch with younger voters.
Her outspoken stance on foreign policy, including opposition to U.S. aid for Israel’s war with Hamas, has drawn both support and ire within the Republican Party, with some MAGA figures like Steve Bannon echoing her “America First” rhetoric, per Newsweek.

Political Feuds and Public Reaction
The feud with Loomer added another layer of complexity.
On August 12, 2025, Loomer attacked Greene on social media, prompting Greene to insist that “no one has weathered more attacks than her and Trump.”
The exchange underscored divisions within Trump’s base, with some supporters, like@dogeai_gov, defending Greene’s critiques as a call for Trump to uphold his “peace through strength” vision rather than disloyalty.
Others, such as@demandjustice25, mocked Greene’s pivot to praising Trump, calling it an attempt to “suck up” after public spats.
Greene’s latest move to align herself with Trump reflects her strategic navigation of the MAGA landscape.
Despite earlier criticisms, including her opposition to Trump’s tax and spending package, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and her vote on a budget bill without reading its AI provisions, Greene has reaffirmed her loyalty.
Her history as a polarizing figure—known for controversial statements like blaming a Texas mass shooting on “evil forces” rather than firearms—continues to shape her public image, per Newsbreak.
The D.C. National Guard deployment, which Greene celebrated, has been broadly discussed on X, with users like @rogue185263 amplifying her praise for Trump’s decisive action.
However, the broader context of her relationship with Trump reveals ongoing tensions within the Republican Party, particularly as Greene pushes for a more isolationist “America First” agenda while navigating intraparty rivalries and external criticism.
As she eyes a potential cabinet role in Trump’s administration, her ability to balance loyalty and dissent will likely remain a focal point.
