President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, once thick as thieves, are now trading public barbs over policy priorities, as Newsmax reports.

A rift has emerged within the conservative ranks as Trump and Greene clash over whether the administration’s attention to global matters overshadows pressing domestic concerns like inflation.

This drama kicked off last week when Greene, in an interview with NBC News, took aim at Trump’s international focus, arguing that it’s leaving American wallets squeezed.

Greene Questions Trump’s Global Priorities

Greene didn’t mince words, pointing out that the parade of foreign leaders at the White House isn’t cutting grocery bills or easing health insurance costs for struggling families.

“Watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans,” Greene told NBC News. Well, that’s a spicy take, but does she think global stability grows on trees?

Greene doubled down, claiming this focus isn’t addressing the real pain points for vulnerable groups, especially younger Americans drowning in high costs.

Trump Fires Back

On Monday, Trump clapped back, suggesting Greene has veered off the conservative path with her critique.

“She's lost her way, I think,” Trump remarked, expressing surprise at her stance. Lost her way or just lost patience with diplomatic photo ops?

He defended his approach, stressing that a president must keep an eye on the world stage to prevent conflicts from spilling onto American soil.

Inflation Debate Heats Up

Trump insisted his time isn’t overly consumed by foreign affairs, despite Greene’s claims, and pinned the blame for inflation squarely on the previous administration under Joe Biden.

Consumer prices did hit a four-decade peak in June 2022, though they’ve eased since -- yet public frustration with lingering high costs helped fuel Trump’s return to power.

Still, inflation has ticked up again, climbing from an annual rate of 2.3% in April to 3% by September, following Trump’s introduction of targeted tariffs.

Coalition Cracks, Public Perception

The White House admits that it needs to better explain its anti-inflation efforts, while Trump remains bullish, claiming that prices for food and energy are dropping fast.

This spat with Greene isn’t just personal -- it’s a symptom of deeper tensions within Trump’s coalition, especially after recent off-cycle election gains by Democrats raised eyebrows.

While Trump met with foreign leaders like Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa and swore in Sergio Gor as ambassador to India on Monday, conservatives like Greene are asking: What about us? It’s a fair question, but ignoring the world’s powder kegs might cost more than a few points at the checkout line.
