Washington, D.C. — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) publicly endorsed what she called a “2026 tax revolt,” signaling a deepening rupture with President Donald Trump as his administration emphasizes foreign policy priorities that Greene argues come at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.
In a post on X, Greene claimed that “almost every Trump voter” she encounters online is “fed up” and preparing to revolt against federal taxation. She argued that Americans are struggling financially while the federal government continues to allocate large sums toward foreign countries, overseas conflicts, and immigration-related spending. Her remarks reflect a broader populist critique of U.S. foreign aid and military involvement, themes Greene has increasingly emphasized throughout 2025.
The comments mark another escalation in Greene’s break from Trump. Once among his most loyal allies in Congress, Greene has taken positions this year that sharply diverge from Republican leadership, including opposing continued U.S. assistance to Ukraine and supporting a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, an effort dismissed by Trump as a hoax.
Tensions between the two became public in November when Trump withdrew his support and labeled Greene a “traitor” to the GOP. Shortly afterward, Greene announced she would not seek reelection in 2026 and later said she would resign from Congress effective January 5, 2026.
While a small number of centrist Republicans have criticized aspects of Trump’s agenda, most of the GOP conference remains aligned with the administration, making Greene’s open defiance relatively uncommon within the party.
