Ex-MAGA lawmaker bashes Trump's Iran deal in sarcasm-laden post: 'What winning looks like'

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to X on Wednesday with a nearly five-minute video dripping from start to finish with sarcastic praise for President Donald Trump's deal to end the war against Iran.I truly hope that the totally unnecessary Iran war, which is not a war, is truly over and peace is achieved, said Greene. It's truly incredible that we beat Iran dozens of times, and nearly made peace almost 40 times. It's only cost upwards of 50 billion, probably more, part of which was spent bombing a children's school by the way, and now hundreds of billions more will be spent to build more weapons to replace all the weapons and ammunition that we used in the Iran war that's not a war.Americans should be grateful to have spent so much of their own money on high gas prices and inflation caused by the war that is not a war, that we won dozens of times and almost have had a peace deal for the 40th time, said Greene. We'll see if that happens on Friday.Greene then went through all the objectives of the war that were not achieved, including freeing the Iranian people from a despotic regime, and removing Iran's enriched uranium reserves.The world should be thankful that because this peace deal is almost done for the 40th time, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened, just as it was opened before the war that is not a war, she said. And furthermore, she praised the 300 billion in upcoming rebuilding contracts the U.S. will arrange to make Iran great again.All of this would not be possible without the peace president, she said, before taking a swipe at Israel for not wanting a peace deal in the first place and for always bombing children.This, apparently, is what winning looks like, Greene concluded.Greene, originally elected on a far-right platform, spent most of her career in Congress as a staunch supporter of Trump and the MAGA movement, but over time grew fed up with the president's personality cult and lack of real progress advancing what she sees as legitimate America First causes. She resigned at the end of last year and has since been highly critical of the administration.
