Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) panned President Donald Trump’s unfocused speech on Wednesday night as he attempted to justify his war with Iran.
“I wanted so much for President Trump to put America First. That’s what I believed he would do,” Greene, a former MAGA ally who has since turned on the president, wrote on X. “All I heard from his speech tonight was WAR WAR WAR.”
Trump in his televised prime-time address didn’t offer a timeline or clear plan for ending the war and suggested that the month of war so far was short compared with World War I, World War II, Vietnam and other major conflicts.
The speech caused crude oil futures to jump and stock markets to dip.
But it wasn’t just the lack of clarity on the war that struck Greene.
