Marjorie Taylor Greene explains real America First agenda
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most ideologically consistent, truly America First members of Congress. Sheās a Republican, sheās MAGA, and she supports Donald Trump ā but she isnāt afraid to say what policy areas are working and which ones are not. To that end, she recently appeared on Tim Dillonās podcast, and made some news by admitting that she thinks the tariffs might be getting in the way of President Trumpās agenda, by driving up costs for manufacturers.āIām talking to major manufacturing companies and they are saying weāre having a problem with these tariffs,ā said Greene. āHas regular peopleās stress come off? No. That should be the focus. It shouldnāt be helping your crypto donors. The focus should be the people that showed up at the rallies. I donāt think those people are being served.ā
And itās not just tariffs. MTG also explained why the administrationās deportation policy, if taken to an extreme, is going to hurt American businesses: āWe have to do something about labor, and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them.ā
Not so long ago she also called for the ACA tax credits to be extended. Oh my!
There are things going on beyond MTG expressing her dissatisfaction with aspects of the MAGAist agenda.
U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says
Six months into President Donald Trumpās unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of their costs, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.And with new tariffs most likely on the way, the cost burden could rise even higher, they said.

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices ā something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

It's not a particularly good sign for Don when a devotee like Marge doesn't just silently think about the regime's policy failures...............she says what she thinks out loud. That kind of thing can snowball when the coattails of a prez are looking very tattered indeed.
Pile that on with increasing consumer frustration with inflation tied to tariffs, which is likely to worsen, along with growing unemployment numbers forcing the Fed's hand on interest rate cuts........themselves being inflationary........and trump may be looking for someone to put a finger in the dike.
āWell, then what the federal government should have done was accept the assistance of foreign countries, of entrepreneurial Americans who have had solutions that they wanted presented. They can't even get a phone call returned, Bill. The Dutchāthey are known, and the Norwegiansāthey are known for dikes and for cleaning up water and for dealing with spills. They offered to help and yet, no, they too, with the proverbial, can't even get a phone call back.ā
