Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) criticized President Trump on Wednesday following his comments about inflation amid rising tensions with Iran.

Greene described Trump's remarks as "shocking" and predicted they would have negative political consequences. "It's pretty hard to take from a billionaire president when he says he loves inflation brought on the American people because of a war that he decided to pursue," Greene told CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

The criticism comes as inflation rates continue to be a significant economic concern for American consumers. Greene suggested that Trump's comments about inflation could damage his political standing.

Greene, who previously served in Congress and has been a vocal political figure, made her remarks during a television interview addressing the president's recent statements on economic policy during the current international situation.
