Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) continued her damning criticism of Donald Trump on Sunday, once again taking aim at the president over sky-high diesel prices.
On X, the Trump acolyte-turned-vehement critic noted Trump had now surpassed former President Joe Biden for the dubious distinction of presiding over “the HIGHEST diesel price in history,” with the national average hovering around $6.50 a gallon.
“Is this what winning is like??” asked Greene. “I’m so sick of Trump’s ‘winning.’ So so so sick of it. All of you pathetic hypocritical maga cult accounts and bots get ready for more of my gas price videos.”
“I didn’t campaign for that liar and fight to get him elected for him to betray us all and start an unprovoked foreign war, kill a bunch of little girls in a school, get our military men and women killed and wounded, make it unaffordable for regular Americans to pump fuel in their cars and trucks, and refuse to release the Epstein files.”
“By the way, EVERYTHING in this country runs on diesel!!! EVERYTHING that matters,” she added.
Diesel does play a major role in the U.S. economy.
As the U.S. Energy Information Administration notes on its website, “most of the products we use are transported by trucks and trains with diesel engines, and most construction, farming, and military vehicles and equipment also have diesel engines.”
Its importance has even been acknowledged by Trump, who earlier this month urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian diesel infrastructure, saying the attacks were contributing to a fuel shortage.
“Mr. Zelensky has to do one thing. He has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia,” Trump said. “Let him go after targets but not diesel fuel, because he’s causing a shortage of diesel fuel.”
The request drew criticism because Trump was publicly urging Ukraine to restrict its attacks on Russian energy infrastructure while Russia has continued attacks on Ukraine.
