  • 🎯 She advocates for prioritizing strong domestic policy to help Americans afford life, healthcare, and housing.
  • ⚠️ Greene questions the involvement of figures like Marco Rubio and Steven Miller in running Venezuela, suggesting the focus should be on the US administration running America.

"America First" Reinterpreted

Trump's Approval and Political Strategy
