During his first term, President Donald Trump drew a great deal of criticism from hawkish neocons for pushing an isolationist foreign policy. But Trump is taking a more imperialistic turn during his second presidency, calling for the U.S. to annex Canada and Greenland as well as the Panama Canal.

One far-right MAGA Republican who is expressing displeasure with Trump's more imperialistic ideas is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia).

In an angry rant posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday, May 2, Greene argued that some of Trump's recent actions are incompatible with the MAGA movement's "America First" ideology.

"I represent the base and when I'm frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," Greene tweeted. "I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. I don't think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength."

Greene continued, "And on top of that, now we are told that we have signed a deal for mineral rights in Ukraine, in order to pay us back for the hundreds of billions of dollars that we gave Ukraine and they used for money laundering, sold the weapons we gave them to our enemies, and their leader is a dictator who canceled elections, was involved of the first impeachment of Trump, and campaigned for (President Joe) Biden."

The MAGA congresswoman also railed against COVID-19 vaccines, promoting the repeatedly debunked conspiracy theory that they are dangerous.

"I also campaigned on accountability for the communist and tyrannical acts made by the government during Covid," Greene tweeted. "Yet the Covid vaccine still has FDA approval even though there are millions reported injuries and deaths, and this mRNA vaccine is known to have horrific side effects and DOES NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM CATCHING COVID…. When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that."
