Summary
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene asked her MAGA followers to send money to her 22-year-old son via Venmo to “buy him a beer.”
Critics slammed the request as a “grift,” noting her estimated $21.93 million net worth.
Social media users across the spectrum questioned why a wealthy congresswoman would solicit money for her adult son.
After the uproar, Greene deleted the post. The incident followed reports that she made significant Treasury trades before Trump’s tariff announcement, prompting further scrutiny over her financial conduct.

“What do you think they [protesters] want?” Harris Faulkner of Fox News asked the president. “What do you think they need, right now, from you?”
Here was Trump’s answer, verbatim:
"Protesters for different reasons. You’re protesting also because, you know, they just didn’t know. I’ve watch - I watched very closely. Why are you here? They really weren’t able to say, but they were there for a reason, perhaps.
“But a lot of them really were there because they’re following the crowd. A lot of them were there because what we witnessed was a terrible thing. What we saw was a terrible thing. And we’ve seen it over the years. We haven’t, you know, this was one horrible example, but you’ve seen other terrible examples. You know that better than anybody who would know it. And I know it. I’ve seen it, too. I’ve seen it before I was president. I’ve seen it. I think it’s a shame. I think it’s a disgrace. And it’s got to stop.”
