In a lengthy post to X, formerly Twitter, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed President Donald Trump for breaking his campaign promises of “No more foreign wars. No more regime change. World Peace.”

Greene’s Monday morning post criticized the Trump administration for not just bombing three Iranian sites, but for changing its claims about the success of the strikes.

“I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises. And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises: NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. NO MORE REGIME CHANGE. WORLD PEACE. And THIS is what the people voted for,” Greene wrote. “Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3.”

I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises.

“After the bombs were dropped, we were told ‘complete success’ and Iran’s nuclear capabilities were totally wiped out. Then it quickly turned to Iran’s nuclear facilities ‘partially damaged’ and now it’s ‘we don’t know where their enriched uranium is,'” she continued.

Greene’s comment about Iran’s enriched uranium refers to conflicting statements by members of the Trump administration. On Sunday, Vice President J.D. Vance said Iran still has its uranium stockpile. However, the following day, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the strikes had “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear sites, including its uranium stockpiles.

Though a longtime supporter of Trump, this weekend’s attack on Iran has led Greene to criticize the president for the first time. On Sunday, Greene shared a long post to X stating that she’d never known any American who was “the victim of a crime or killed by Iran,” saying the effort against Iran would be better used in the War on Drugs.

My thoughts on bombing Iran.

I don’t know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran, but I know many people who have been victims of crime committed by criminal illegal aliens or MURDERED by Cartel and Chinese fentanyl/drugs.

Almost everyone in our…

“I’m 51 years old. I’m GenX. I’ve watched our country go to war in foreign lands for foreign causes on behalf of foreign interests for as long as I can remember. I was in 10th grade when Desert Storm started and my father before me was sent to Vietnam, another senseless foreign war. America is $37 TRILLION in debt and all of these foreign wars have cost Americans TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that never benefited any American,” she wrote. “I’m sick of it.”

“I can easily say I support nuclear armed Israel’s right to defend themselves and also say at the same time I don’t want to fight or fund nuclear armed Israel’s wars,” she added.

Greene is not the only MAGA figure to criticize Trump’s moves against Iran. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Sunday “there was no imminent threat” from Iran. In response, Trump posted to his social platform Truth Social saying that Massie “is not MAGA, even though he likes to say he is.” Trump then promised to campaign against Massie in the upcoming Republican primary. On Monday, he doubled down, re-sharing his original Truth Social post, adding “GET THIS ‘BUM’ OUT OF OFFICE, ASAP!!!”

As of this writing, Trump has not responded to Greene’s comments.

Following a brief jump in oil prices following the United States’ attacks on Iran, President Donald Trump called for the world to keep prices low.

Trump made the call Monday morning on his social media platform Truth Social.

“EVERYONE, KEEP OIL PRICES DOWN. I’M WATCHING! YOU’RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY. DON’T DO IT!” Trump wrote.

In a follow-up post made two minutes later, he elaborated:

“To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!”

Oil prices did jump late Sunday night after the attack, according to the Associated Press, but had fallen by Monday morning. The jump was driven by the attack itself, but fell as investors speculated on how Iran would respond, the AP reported. While the price did fall, oil prices are still about $10 higher per barrel than they were last week.

Trump’s “Drill, Baby, Drill” refrain is a popular Republican slogan, calling for an increase in drilling for oil and gas on American soil. Advocates say this would reduce the United States’ reliance on foreign powers—like the OPEC nations—for energy. Critics point to the environmental impact, with the Center for American Progress warning that pro-drilling policies can cause more oil spills in the world’s oceans.

A “Drill, Baby, Drill” policy also has critics from the economic side. Though the industry does provide jobs, oil prices are too volatile to base an economy on, according to Ryan Cooper in The Week. Cooper and the CAP both also point out that focusing on fossil fuels undermines efforts to increase alternative energy sources like wind and solar—alternatives that could be more consistent and, unlike oil, do not run the risk of being depleted.

Trump has long railed against alternative energy sources. He famously said that wind turbines are harmful to birds. While it’s true that birds can be killed by wind turbines, experts at MIT say the number of birds killed annually from flying into turbines pales in comparison to most other causes of wild bird deaths. While turbines can be linked to between 140,000 and 679,000 bird deaths a year, cats kill between 988 million and 4 billion. Fossil fuel projects kill nearly 20 times more birds than turbines, MIT’s experts say.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed President Donald Trump was the creator of the phrase “peace through strength,” despite it being originally credited to a Roman emperor.

Leavitt appeared Monday morning on Fox News to address the United States’ attack on Iran this weekend. In the clip, surfaced by journalist Aaron Rupar, she said the bombing was an example of Trump’s devotion to peace.

“Nobody knows what it means to accomplish peace through strength better than President Trump. He is the one who came up with that motto and that foreign policy doctrine. He successfully implemented it in his first term; and this is one of many steps he is taking to successfully implement peace in his second term,” Leavitt said.

Despite Leavitt’s claims, the phrase is first attributed to the Roman Emperor Hadrian. Hadrian ruled from 117 to 138 AD. He is perhaps best known in modern times for building Hadrian’s Wall, a wall running across what’s now England originally used as a defensive fortification by the Roman Empire. Hadrian’s Wall still exists and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

The doctrine of peace through strength has also been used throughout American history. President George Washington famously said that “if we desire to secure peace…it must be known that we are at all times ready for war.” In the Federalist Papers, founding father Alexander Hamilton argued for keeping a standing army during peacetime as a deterrent force.

“Though a wide ocean separates the United States from Europe, yet there are various considerations that warn us against an excess of confidence or security… The improvements in the art of navigation, have, as to the facility of communication, rendered distant nations, in a great measure, neighbors. Britain and Spain are among the principal maritime powers of Europe. A future concert of views between these nations ought not to be regarded as improbable,” Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 24. “Politicians have ever with great reason considered the ties of blood as feeble and precarious links of political connection. These circumstances, combined, admonish us not to be too sanguine in considering ourselves as entirely out of the reach of danger.”

The phrase has also been used as the motto of the United States’ Eighth Air Force as well as the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan.

Though “peace through strength” has been used throughout history, in modern times, it’s been most associated with the aircraft carrier’s namesake. President Ronald Reagan first used the phrase during his 1980 campaign to unseat President Jimmy Carter to describe his approach to foreign policy. The phrase has been used in every Republican Party platform since then.

In other words, if Trump did indeed “come up with that motto,” as Leavitt says, the media has been focusing on the wrong things. The man clearly has time-travel technology he’s keeping secret from the rest of the world.
