Donald Trump has publicly broken ties with Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her "'Wacky' Marjorie" and threatening to back a challenger, accusing her of shifting "Far Left." Greene retaliated, claiming Trump's anger stems from her push to release Jeffrey Epstein files and asserting her independence from him.
President Donald Trump has publicly severed ties with one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her "'Wacky' Marjorie" and stating he would endorse a challenger against her "if the right person runs." Trump accused Greene of going "Far Left" and constantly complaining, adding, "I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day." This dismissal marks the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as Greene has seemingly moderated her political profile, increasingly dissenting from Republican leaders on issues like government shutdowns and healthcare subsidies, and focusing on domestic concerns over foreign affairs. In response on X, Greene wrote that Trump had "attacked me and lied about me," sharing a screenshot of a text she said she sent him earlier about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, which she believes "is what sent him over the edge." She called it "astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level." Greene also stated, "I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump," despite her past significant support for him. The article attributes the widening fissures to Greene's recent moderation, her focus on high prices at home rather than Trump's emphasis on foreign affairs, and her past discontents, including declining Senate and gubernatorial runs while criticizing GOP donors and the "good ole boy" system. Trump reiterated that he felt "something happened to her over the last month or two," leading to her losing a "wonderful conservative reputation." Greene's recent appearances on shows like "Real Time" and "The View," where she was perceived as more reasonable and critical of both parties and Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, further underscored her evolving political stance.
