A lengthy social media post praising Donald Trump, by Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, has been mocked for listing all the ways she loves the former president.
She asked the public "what's your favorite thing about President Trump?", and quickly received a flurry of responses, many poking fun at the controversial representative.
"I have several," she began her 1,800-character-plus post on X, formerly Twitter. Regular X users can post up to 280 characters, while verified users, who don a blue check like Greene, can post up to 25,000 characters. Many users poked fun at her opener, adding satirical "favorite things" about Trump.

Her post applauded the former president and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump for his "genuinely kind hearted" and "caring" personality, shared interest in business and construction, his love for his family, and how "dedicated he is to putting America first."

Social media users on X have trolled the Representative, like @smc429, who has nearly 187,000 followers and posted a photo of Trump with the caption: "I love that he looks like Tupperware after you put spaghetti in it."
Posting a photo that went viral in 2023 of Ivana Trump's grave site at the former president's Bedminster New Jersey golf course, which appears to have no landscaping and just grass with a small gravestone plaque, user @NotHoodlum, who often posts critically of Trump, wrote, "The respect he shows to the mother of three of his children is next level too." Ivana Trump is the mother of Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump.
Greene is a staunch supporter of Trump and has vowed to vote for him in the upcoming presidential election even if he is in jail. Last week, Trump was convicted by a New York jury, who found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by Trump's then-lawyer Michael Cohen shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
Daniels alleged she had a sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, which he denies. Trump has maintained his innocence and says the case, brought forward by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, is politically motivated. His legal team says it will fight the case, which will include an appeal, if necessary.
The former president now faces possible jail time, which will be determined at his July 11 sentencing, just days before the Republican National Convention where he is expected to accept the party's nomination.
In her post, Greene wrote, "I hope with all my heart we get the opportunity to bring the ideas we have discussed to fruition for America."
The post received nearly 30,000 views as of Wednesday afternoon. Newsweek has reached out to Greene's and Trump's communications team for comment.
One user, Thelma Johnson, simply replied, "I love how he commits crimes." Alex Cole, an editor at Newsitics, echoed Johnson, writing, "My favorite thing is that he's a felon, like everyone else who worked for him."
Ryan Shead, host of The Shead Show wrote "'I don't worship Trump' 🤣🤣🤣🤣," a comment referencing Rep. Jamie Raskin's accusation that Greene "worships" convicted felons like Trump during a Congressional hearing on Monday.
Several users posted multiple jokes and insults, such as @NotHoodlum and @smc429.
While the majority of high-engagement replies were trolling Greene, some users supported her message. Chess player Stephen Leary, who identifies as a Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporter, wrote, "Trump wants to make America great again!" Another user, @Hardtruths100 replied, "Trump 2024!"
