MTG Is Back With a Vengeance, Claiming the Latest Economic Report Proves Trump Is Fueling the Very Crisis He Once Blamed on Biden
A comeback?
MTG is back in the spotlight and she’s not holding back. Marjorie Taylor Greene just dropped a scathing post on X calling out President Donald Trump’s economic policies, claiming they’re fueling the exact inflation crisis he once blamed on his predecessor. The latest inflation report, released on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, showed the consumer price index climbing 4.2 percent over the last year, the highest spike in three years.
Greene’s response was blunt, “Unbelievable!! Here is exactly what Trump’s war on Iran, costing billions everyday, is doing to Americans. MAGA used to call this Biden inflation and scream from the rooftops over this garbage.” The numbers don’t lie. According to The Hill, the Department of Labor’s report confirmed that inflation rose 0.5 percent in May alone, marking the first time it’s surpassed 4 percent since May 2023.
For the former congresswoman, this isn’t just bad economics, it’s a betrayal of the promises Trump made to voters. “NOT WHAT WE CAMPAIGNED FOR. NOT WHAT PEOPLE VOTED FOR. NATION IN DECLINE,” she wrote, making it clear she sees this as a direct consequence of the administration’s policies.
The war in Iran, which Greene has repeatedly criticized, is a particular sore spot
Greene has argued that the billions spent daily on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is hitting Americans where it hurts – at the gas pump and the grocery store. Trump, for his part, isn’t backing down. Despite the rising inflation numbers, he’s tried to shift the narrative, claiming last week that the economy is “raining jobs” after a report showed stronger-than-expected employment growth.
When asked about Wednesday’s inflation data, he brushed it off during a brief Oval Office appearance with reporters. It’s a strategy that’s done little to ease concerns, especially as his approval ratings continue to slide. Affordability has become a major issue for voters, and the administration’s dismissive tone isn’t helping.
Greene’s criticism isn’t just about the economy, though. Her break with Trump has been messy and public. She resigned from Congress in January after a very public feud with the president, one that she later described in stark terms. Last November, she told supporters she refused to be a “battered wife” in the wake of their fallout.
It was a dramatic turn for someone who had been one of Trump’s most vocal allies. But by the time she left office, she had broken with him on multiple fronts, from foreign policy to healthcare to the release of files linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Greene has become a vocal critic of the Trump administration
Greene didn’t mince words when the Iran war began on February 28, posting on X that “we’re in another f—ing war, and we’ve got American troops being killed.” She’s questioned what happened to the Trump who campaigned on ending foreign wars and avoiding regime change.
In an interview with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, she asked, “I want to say, what is happening to the man that I supported, you supported, the man that denounced what happened in Iraq, the man that said ‘No more foreign wars,’ ‘No more regime change?’” It’s a question that resonates with many of Trump’s former supporters, who feel the administration has strayed from its original promises.
But Greene isn’t just sitting on the sidelines. She’s teasing a comeback with a new series called ‘Life with MTG’, which she announced on X. The post included a fiery video montage of her time in Congress, ending with a defiant message, “I won’t stop living, I won’t stop speaking and I won’t stop fighting. And neither should you.”
It’s clear she’s not done with politics, or with holding the administration accountable. The series could be a platform for her to double down on her critiques, especially as she continues to distance herself from Trump’s policies.
What’s next for Greene is anyone’s guess
One thing is certain though – she’s not going quietly. Her latest posts suggest she’s ready to keep pushing back against the administration, especially on issues like inflation and foreign policy. For voters who feel disillusioned by the current state of the economy, her message might resonate. The question is whether she can turn that frustration into a movement, or if she’ll remain a vocal but isolated critic.
The inflation numbers are real, and they’re hitting Americans hard. Whether it’s called “Biden inflation” or “Trump inflation,” the impact is the same. Greene’s criticism taps into a growing sense of unease among voters who feel the economy isn’t working for them. If the administration can’t turn things around, that unease could become a major liability. For now, though, Greene is making sure her voice is heard, and she’s not pulling any punches.
