Greene Questions Trump’s Faith and Critiques Women at Mar-a-Lago

Retired Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has recently raised eyebrows by suggesting that former President Trump may not truly possess religious beliefs. During a series of passionate interviews, she criticized his treatment of women at his Mar-a-Lago club.

In reflecting on Trump’s unexpected comments at a memorial for conservative icon Charlie Kirk, Greene noted that the president seemed taken aback by how Kirk wished well for his opponents. Greene highlighted a stark contrast: “That’s where I disagree with Charlie. I hate them and I don’t want what’s best for them,” Trump said during the same service where Kirk’s widow forgave the man who fatally shot her husband.

Greene commented, “That was the worst thing I could have said,” in an interview. “It just shows you where his heart is. Erika has a sincere Christian faith, while he shows, well, a lack of faith.” Despite being raised in the Presbyterian tradition, Trump identifies as a nondenominational Christian and has garnered significant support from evangelical Christians throughout his career.

Last year, after a near-fatal incident at a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump expressed that he had “become more of a believer” and felt “saved by God.”

Greene has been a vocal supporter of Trump since she was elected in 2021. She has condemned the treatment of the January 6 rioters and backed Trump’s unfounded claims about the 2020 election being stolen. There was even speculation about her being a potential vice-presidential pick last year.

Over time, however, her unwavering admiration has started to wane, particularly last spring when she began to distance herself from him on various issues. Her frustration grew after Trump allegedly sent her a poll indicating she wouldn’t succeed in a potential gubernatorial or Senate run, which, according to her, angered him when she publicly denied the advice.

The situation escalated when Trump recently retracted his support for her re-election bid and criticized her publicly. Greene announced in response that she would resign on January 6, 2026.

Reflecting on Trump’s influence on the Republican Party, Greene stated, “We’ve been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and never admit we’re wrong. No matter what, you just keep punching the enemy. As a Christian, I don’t believe in that.” She noted support for Erica Kirk, who openly discussed her belief in forgiveness.

Additionally, Greene touched on her concerns regarding the portrayal of women at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, stating that they are overly sexualized. “I’ve always felt uncomfortable with how women present themselves, especially leader figures,” she shared. “I have two daughters and I’ve never talked about this publicly before, but I was planning to.” She believes the way women express themselves sends a vital message to younger generations.

In response to Greene’s criticisms, White House press secretary Davis Ingle accused her of “resigning from her constituents midway through her term and abandoning the resulting fight.” He emphasized Trump’s continued leadership in the MAGA movement, describing it as one of the most significant political movements in American history. “We don’t have time to dwell on her petty bitterness,” he added.
