The One True MAGA

Published by digby on November 6, 2025

She’s running:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has become increasingly vocal in her criticism of the Republican Party and its leadership, particularly in the House, is telling people she wants to run for president in 2028.

Greene has been working on reinventing herself over the past year — and for good reason.

She has confided to colleagues that she wants to run for president, according to four sources familiar with the matter, including one who has spoken with her directly about it.

One source says her conversations have centered around her belief she is “real MAGA and that the others have strayed,” adding that she believes she has “the national donor network to win the primary.”

After publication, Greene texted NOTUS, saying she “saw you posted a baseless article.” NOTUS sent an inquiry to her communications director ahead of publication, but Greene asked why NOTUS had not reached out to a different person in her office.

“Who is your source? Laura Loomer? She claimed I was running for governor last week and announcing it in the view. Once again you publish baseless gossip. Very disappointing. Don’t text me again,” Greene said.

While the conversations lack specifics and she hasn’t officially decided anything, she has brought up on multiple occasions that she is interested in launching a campaign. Sources point to her recent media run on CNN, “The View” and “Real Time with Bill Maher” as evidence that she is trying to connect with a more national audience outside of the hardcore MAGA base.

During an October appearance on comedian Tim Dillon’s podcast, Greene dodged a question about whether or not she would run in 2028.

She seems to be creating an image of a populist, feminist, MAGA leader which is original, I’ll give her that. She’s breaking with Trump and leading the charge on the Epstein files, insulting all the GOP men as wimps, total isolationism, and fighting for health care and SNAP. And she’s just as nasty and rude as ever. It’s an interesting approach, especially since it really does make her GOP colleagues look like the cowards they are.

Bill Maher: “It looks bad at this moment that [Trump] is giving $40B to Argentina at this moment. Does it not?”

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Yeah, I disagree with that.”

Bill Maher: “Really?”

Marjorie Taylor Greene: “I’m so far America first, I’m America only right now. I want good trade with other foreign countries, but I don’t want to be involved in their foreign wars or their bailouts or their foreign causes or their foreign aid.” “I think the American people deserve all the attention from the government that they fund with their taxpayer dollars.”

Bill Maher: [Trump] made a big deal with China, which looks like kind of what we had before… his big problem with China is that he can bully the Arabs… He can bully NATO. China is not that.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: China has become extremely powerful… We have to have even policies. Companies need to be able to plan. If the tariffs are continually going up and down, it hurts companies.

Bill Maher: I would love to know what the Republicans really want to do about healthcare.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Me too. I’m waiting for the plan. I haven’t seen it yet… Republicans have never done anything to correct the problems that exist with [Obamacare]. And I blame my own party… Mike Johnson, for a month now, cannot give me a single policy idea.

Welcome to the Resistance, Marge.
