Why would a president who promised to put “America First” deliver a $40 billion bailout to Argentina while quadrupling Argentine beef imports to undercut the price of beef produced by American ranchers, while his tariffs have destroyed sales of American soybeans to China, allowing Argentine farmers to sell soybeans to China?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has absolutely no idea.

The Georgia Republican continued her stunning tour of response to Republican nonsense with an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show on Wednesday, where she called the bailout “one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“I have no idea who is telling our great president, our ‘America First’ president, that this is a good idea,” he said. “Because, honestly, it’s a punch in the gut for all of our American ranchers, and they’re furious, and rightly so.”

“I can’t think of a country that is further from the United States of America than Argentina,” he continued. “It’s literally at the bottom of South America, in the southern hemisphere, and we’re at the top. I don’t know how that’s ‘America First.'”

(Trump maintained in a social media post that American ranchers should, in fact, be grateful: “If it weren’t for me, you would be doing the same thing you have done for the last 20 years – terrible!” he wrote.)

Greene made the comments at the end of a lengthy tirade against Republicans in Washington, D.C., who she says have “hijacked” the Trump movement and are “turning it into everything we hate.”

The two focused in particular on the United States’ strange acceptance of foreign entanglements under Trump, and Greene wondered aloud the extent of American military action in the Middle East.

“News and everyone tells me that the Houthis are the most dangerous people on the planet and I literally can’t find a Houthi in my district,” he joked.

“When we bombed Iran on behalf of Israel, it was very interesting to me that hell didn’t break loose like they told us it was going to,” he said, questioning the oft-used Israeli warning that Iran is always weeks away from producing a nuclear weapon.

“I didn’t see all hell break loose on Israel. We didn’t see a single bomb fall on our heads, on our neighborhoods, on our homes. We didn’t see anything happen here like it has been happening in Gaza for months and months and months. We didn’t see children and toddlers blown to pieces. We don’t hear about these horror stories… but this is a lie that we are constantly told over and over again, that we have to hate these people in the Middle East, that we have to hate. these foreign countries.”

“Why are we considered hateful and anti-Semitic if we don’t want to constantly pay for Israel’s wars?” she asked. “That doesn’t make us anti-Semitic and hateful. We want our money to stay here at home.”

(Despite her claim, it’s important to note that the congresswoman has certainly fueled anti-Semitic tropes in the past, including the infamous suggestion in 2018 that a prominent Jewish family started a California wildfire using lasers emitted from space.)

“People are hurting here at home. Food prices are high, rents are high, home prices are ridiculously high, cars are high, auto insurance, home insurance, health insurance are crazy, energy prices are high… much more expensive than even a year ago.”

In addition to the above, Greene reiterated her call for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to restore order in Congress and stop preventing her colleagues’ efforts to force the Justice Department to release Jeffrey Epstein’s files.
