This is false. Trump has made no comments on whether or not he is considering Marjorie Taylor Greene for a top cabinet position. The video within the post even ends with the stipulation that a job might tempt her "if it is offered". For additional proof, another article by Newsweek states that "The former president has not openly discussed potential roles for Greene."

There is bound to be disagreement on a site about misinformation. Assume best intentions on everyone's part.

Posting

The title is the "main claim" that you're trying to factcheck.

If possible, LINK TO to the place you saw the claim.

Answering

LINK TO YOUR EVIDENCE or otherwise explain the source ("I called this person, I found it in this book, etc.")

But don't just drop a link. Give an explanation, copy and paste the relevant information, etc.
