On November 7, 2025, Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia, publicly disagreed with President Donald Trump's claims regarding the economy during an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins. Greene contested Trump's assertion that inflation is virtually nonexistent and grocery prices are decreasing, stating, "No, I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high. My electricity bills are higher here in Washington, D.C., at my apartment, and they’re also higher at my house in Rome, Georgia, higher than they were a year ago." She expressed concern about the financial challenges faced by families, particularly her children in their twenties, emphasizing that affordability is a pressing issue for many.

Greene further criticized the administration's focus on international matters, arguing that Americans are unlikely to be motivated to vote by foreign aid or military engagements. She stated, "You’re not gonna convince [Americans] to go to the polls and vote by bailing out Argentina. And you’re not gonna convince them to go to the polls and vote by continuing to fund foreign wars and foreign countries and foreign causes. You’re gonna get them to go to the polls and vote when you show up to work and actually fix the problems that they face every single day." This reflects a sentiment among some lawmakers that domestic economic issues should take precedence over foreign engagements.

In contrast, President Trump had recently claimed that energy and grocery costs are significantly lower than before, asserting that the cost of Thanksgiving meals had decreased based on a specific price comparison from Walmart. However, this claim has been met with skepticism, as data indicates that grocery prices have risen in recent months. The ongoing economic challenges, including rising inflation and the impact of government shutdowns on programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), have raised questions about the administration's priorities. A federal judge recently ordered the Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits, highlighting the tension between political maneuvering and the immediate needs of low-income Americans.

In a separate context, speculation has emerged regarding Greene's interest in a presidential run for 2028, following a report from the news outlet NOTUS. The report, published on November 5, suggested that Greene had confided in colleagues about her aspirations, claiming she views herself as a true representative of the 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) movement and believes she possesses a national donor network capable of supporting a primary campaign. However, Greene has publicly rejected these claims, labeling the report as 'baseless.' Her spokesperson stated that her focus remains on serving her constituents in Georgia's 14th district, rather than pursuing higher office.

Greene criticized the reporting process, suggesting that the journalist did not adequately verify the information before publication and expressed disappointment over the dissemination of what she termed 'baseless gossip.' The NOTUS report relied on anonymous sources, raising questions about the veracity of the claims regarding Greene's intentions. As of now, the speculation surrounding her potential candidacy remains unverified, pending further clarification from the involved parties.
