Outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., voiced support Wednesday for what she described as a brewing “tax revolt” among President Donald Trump’s supporters, underscoring how far her break with the president has gone as she prepares to leave Congress.
Posting on X, Greene said she is seeing widespread frustration among Trump voters who believe the federal government has abandoned everyday Americans. “Almost every Trump voter I see on X is so fed up they are planning a 2026 tax revolt,” Greene wrote. “And rightfully so!”
Greene framed the anger as the natural result of what she views as Washington’s misplaced priorities. She argued that Americans are working harder than ever just to stay afloat, while their tax dollars are sent elsewhere. “It’s because Americans work their a–es off, barely make ends meet, and the government consistently gives their hard-earned tax dollars to foreign countries, foreign wars, and foreigners the U.S. government has brought/allowed into America,” she wrote. “And NOTHING is given to Americans!!!”
The comments reflect Greene’s increasingly combative posture toward Donald Trump, a president she once defended more fiercely than almost any other Republican in Congress. Greene, who will leave office on Jan. 5, has spent much of this year accusing Trump of drifting away from the “America First” principles that fueled his rise to power.
During his presidential campaigns, Trump pledged to prioritize American workers, clamp down on illegal immigration, and end costly foreign wars. Greene has argued that those promises have not been fulfilled. She sharply criticized Trump after he authorized strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June, a move she said contradicted his anti-war rhetoric.
Greene also broke with Trump on immigration policy, backing legislation to phase out the H-1B visa program after Trump publicly defended it. She has repeatedly blasted the administration for failing to release government files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an issue she has made central to her criticism of Republican leadership.
Her positions have not been limited to disputes with Trump alone. Greene also drew fire inside her own party after labeling Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide,” a remark that put her at odds with most Republicans. She further criticized GOP leaders in Congress for what she called their failure to adequately address expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies during a government shutdown, arguing that inaction would raise costs for working families.
Those repeated clashes eventually prompted Trump to withdraw his support from Greene last month. The president, who once praised her loyalty, said he would back a primary challenger against her in Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, signaling a complete political rupture.
A week later, Greene announced she would resign from Congress. In explaining her decision, the 51-year-old lawmaker said she did not want her district dragged through a bitter primary fight with a Trump-backed opponent.
“I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for,” Greene said, adding that she did not want to force Republicans into a bruising intraparty battle at a time when she believes the GOP could struggle in the midterms.
Her latest call highlighting talk of a tax revolt underscores the depth of grassroots frustration she says she is hearing from conservative voters. While Greene is exiting Congress, her message suggests she intends to remain a loud voice in the broader political debate — one willing to challenge Trump and Washington alike when she believes American taxpayers are being ignored.
