Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump‘s remark that he “loves inflation,” calling the comment “shocking” and warning that it could hurt Republicans politically ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
Greene made the remarks in comments shared Wednesday by CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins after Trump dismissed concerns about the latest inflation data and told reporters, “I love the inflation.”
“Yeah, I found that shocking,” Greene said. “I remember during the Biden administration, that was one of the biggest issues that MAGA, all of us, would scream at the top of our lungs about, and we called it Biden inflation.”
Greene noted that Trump campaigned heavily against inflation during former President Joe Biden‘s administration and argued that many Americans continue to struggle with rising costs.
“To hear the president say today that he loves inflation is absolutely outrageous,” she said. “That’s a punch in the gut to every single American that is struggling to pay their bills, struggling to pay grocery prices, and struggling to basically keep up while their credit card debt is mounting and mounting.”
