Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has rejected Donald Trump’s claim that grocery prices have come down in the latest example of the longtime MAGA loyalist breaking with the party line.
Greene was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Thursday night if she agreed with the president’s claim that grocery prices are going down.
“No,” the Georgia Republican said. “I go to the grocery store myself. Grocery prices remain high. Energy prices are high.
“My electricity bills are higher here in Washington, D.C., at my apartment and they’re also higher at my house in Rome, Georgia—higher than they were a year ago. So, affordability is a problem.”
After Democrats dominated the first major Election Day since Trump returned to the White House, the president has defended his economic record and insisted that prices have come down.
He has repeatedly touted the price of a Walmart Thanksgiving dinner are evidence, writing on his Truth Social platform on Thursday: “2025 Thanksgiving dinner under Trump is 25% lower than 2024 Thanksgiving dinner under Biden, according to Walmart. My cost are lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas! So the Democrats ‘affordability’ issue is DEAD! STOP LYING!!!”
