MTG Sounds Alarm on Trump’s AI Agenda: “When You Are Losing MTG, You Are Losing the Base”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of President Donald Trump’s earliest and most loyal allies in Congress, is now sounding alarms — not from the Left, but from within the America First base itself.

The Georgia congresswoman has made it clear in a series of pointed posts on X (formerly Twitter) that she is growing increasingly uneasy with key elements of President Trump’s recent policy decisions — especially on artificial intelligence, foreign entanglements, and constitutional accountability.

In a blistering thread back in May, Greene didn’t mince words:

“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.”

Greene cited deep frustrations with U.S. involvement in the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, expanding aid to Ukraine, and a lack of justice for Jan. 6 detainees. She also took issue with Trump’s past promotion of COVID vaccines and his silence on election integrity — all issues core to the MAGA movement.

The congresswoman’s break with the administration didn’t stop there. A month later, she expressed regret for backing Trump’s signature legislative achievement — the “Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB) — after discovering a provision buried deep in the text that suspends state-level regulation of artificial intelligence for a full decade.

“Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years,” Greene posted. “I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.”

Although Greene welcomed the eventual removal of the AI moratorium, her concerns reignited this week when President Trump signed a sweeping new executive order titled “Promoting the Export of the American AI Technology Stack.”

“I have many concerns about the AI Executive Order signed yesterday by President Trump,” she wrote. “My deep concerns are that the EO demands rapid AI expansion with little to no guardrails and breaks. It also contains the threat of withholding federal funds from states who regulate AI, which is an absolute threat to federalism.”

Her post struck a chord with those in the America First movement who prioritize state sovereignty, the Constitution, and protection of American jobs. Greene doubled down, warning that AI’s unchecked growth risks not just overreach, but also environmental and resource destruction:

“Data centers are like black holes when it comes to water requirements. They consume massive amounts of water for cooling, literally millions of gallons per day.”

“I’ve been in construction my entire life. I can tell you firsthand, when you move dirt there is always an impact to the surrounding area.”

The congresswoman's growing rift with the Trump administration is more than personal — it could reflect broader tension between the grassroots base and the policy direction coming from the top. In a movement fueled by bold independence and constitutionalism, Greene’s words ring as both warning and challenge.
