Marjorie Taylor Greene Causes Collective Spit-Take With 'If I Were President' Tweet
Extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted about being president and received widespread mockery in response.
On Friday, Greene vowed, “If I were President right now,” she’d “rip the noose off American businesses & reward people who work” and “radically deregulate, incentivize, and build 100% confidence in our country’s businesses - large and small to unleash and rebuild the power of the American economy.”

In a second tweet, Greene boasted her actions “in a very short time” would see America “dominate the world’s economy and cripple our enemies ability to wage war against other countries.”
“Russia would be broke. China’s fake fragile economy would fail,” she wrote. “And hard working Americans would be wealthy, successful, & happy.”

Russia would be broke.
China’s fake fragile economy would fail.
And hard working Americans would be wealthy, successful, & happy.

Some critics slammed Greene’s posts for being very low on detail.
Others shuddered at the thought of the conspiracy theory-endorsing lawmaker, who was stripped of her House committee assignments over her violent rhetoric, one day moving into the White House.

Deregulate businesses... except Disney, Google, Twitter, Delta, DirecTV, Coca Cola, Major League Baseball, OB/GYN practices, Seuss estate, Hasbro, etc. https://t.co/a3sz9dkR8p

If Marjorie Taylor Greene were president? You’re not going to serve more than one term, let alone become president. https://t.co/dL7JoaWXYH

The geopolitical and economic wizard has spoken now.
Some of us have been around long enough to know what corporations do to our health, our environment, and our wallets when they’re deregulated.— Bipporip (@Bipporip) May 20, 2022
I find the word noose an interesting choice of words marj

If an were class president, I’d abolish homework, we’d have pizza everyday in the lunch room and all the drinking fountains would dispense chocolate milk. https://t.co/4By7k3SSDn

And if I was queen of the universe mountains would be made of chocolate and snow would be marshmallow crème.

MTG has done absolutely no work since being elected.
No committees.
No worthwhile bills introduced.
Votes no on everything just to do it.
and she's talking about rewarding people who work. pic.twitter.com/P7QzuEBzT6— Franklin Furtz (@furtz_frank) May 20, 2022
Yet you tell us nothing about your actual plan to make this happen. To be president though, you’d have to get a majority of people to vote for you. Also, no one is stopping companies from rewarding their employees. They simply don’t do it.

Oh god, thinking of you as president might have registered on the seismic scale from a collective shudder.
