BREAKING NEWS: Marjorie Taylor Greene Says MAGA ‘Was All a Lie’ and Claims Trump Is Only Serving ‘Big, Big Donors’

Former Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called out one-time ally President Donald Trump for abandoning the core promises behind his Make America Great Again campaign.

MAGA is, I think, people are realizing, it was all a lie,” she told YouTube host Kim Iversen on Wednesday, Jan. 28. “It was a big lie for the people.”

Greene, 51, claimed the Trump administration is focused on serving “big, big donors,” including foreign countries. “And if they’re donating to all these things, those are the people that get the special favors, they get the government contracts, they get the pardons or somebody they love or one of their friends gets a pardon,” she said.

Greene also dismissed those who argue that Trump’s actions are driven by those in his inner circle.

People always think, ‘Oh, it’s his staff.’ They want to blame everyone around him,” she said. “There may be a point where people have to come to grips with this is Donald Trump.”

Greene, once a close Trump ally often seen beside the president at rallies, was also critical of Fox News, the network on which she has appeared as a guest numerous times, arguing that it is responsible for “brainwashing” Americans.

“People watching Fox News, every day, 24/7 with their volume turned all the way up in their living room and it’s so loud that you can’t hear anything else?” Greene said. “Those are the baby boomers and God bless them, those are my parents’ generation.”

She went on to add, “I love so many of the baby boomers, but they are the most brainwashed generation because they eat that crap, like, they just eat it up all day long. They’re spoon-fed the propaganda on TV.”

“And so I don’t know how the political-industrial complex is going to continue to brainwash Americans ’cuz we’re just not brainwashed anymore,” Greene continued.

In November 2025, Greene announced her resignation from Congress, effective in January 2026. She represented Georgia’s 14th congressional district.

In the announcement, shared to X, Greene slammed the Trump administration and went on to describe experiencing what she claimed was “wrong” and “unfair” treatment from the president.

“I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she said.

“And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me,” Greene continued. “It’s all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”

Greene has also been critical of how the president has handled the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“We did talk about the Epstein files, and he was extremely angry at me that I had signed the discharge petition to release the files,” Greene told 60 Minutes in December 2025, referring to her decision to sign a U.S. House petition pushing the government to release all documents related to the late convicted sex offender.

In November 2025, Greene claimed on X that she was “being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world,” in reference to Trump.

Trump later responded to Greene’s claims while speaking with reporters before boarding Air Force One.

“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene. I don’t think her life is in danger,” the president told reporters in November 2025. “I don’t think. Frankly, I don’t think anybody cares about her.”
