Marjorie Taylor Greene has offered high praise for Donald Trump’s first press conference since winning the 2024 presidential election, calling it the best one “we’ve seen in four years.” Greene, who is a staunch ally of Trump, expressed her admiration following his media appearance at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump discussed a range of topics, from vaccines and Mayor Eric Adams to his upcoming inauguration and his ongoing battles with the media.
Trump’s press conference included tangents about various lawsuits he’s filed against media outlets, including defamation lawsuits against ABC, 60 Minutes, and other entities. He asserted that he felt a duty to pursue these legal actions in response to what he views as unfair media coverage. Trump’s remarks also touched on health issues, where he sidestepped a question about vaccines and autism, instead suggesting that pesticides might be linked to rising autism diagnoses.
Greene also took the opportunity to praise Trump for addressing a wide array of issues, even referencing mysterious drones spotted over parts of New Jersey, a topic she has recently speculated about on social media. This aligns with her tendency to promote unsubstantiated theories, such as those involving vaccines and autism.
Trump’s press conference, while not as combative as his earlier campaign appearances, did not appear to merit Greene’s enthusiastic praise. Nevertheless, she continued to highlight his media performance and the topics covered. Meanwhile, Greene’s increasing role in Trump’s second administration, especially her recent appointment as chair of a subcommittee aimed at eliminating government waste, signals her growing influence in the upcoming term, possibly elevating her sycophantic support for Trump.
The hyperbolic nature of Greene’s praise might seem excessive to some, yet it reflects her deep loyalty to the former president, even as his administration continues to stoke controversies and legal battles.
