President Trump said he would no longer support Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her “stupid” and a “traitor” to the Republican Party, marking a sharp break with the longtime loyalist who has increasingly criticized the president and her party's leadership in recent weeks.
In a message of almost 300 words, Truth Social On Friday night, the president said Greene had “gone to the far left” and wrote that “all I see 'Stupid' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”
“She has told many people that she is upset that I no longer answer her phone calls, but with 219 congressmen/women, 53 US senators, 24 cabinet members, almost 200 countries, and a normal life that I can lead, I can't answer Sleepwalker's rants every day,” he wrote.
The president said he was withdrawing his support from Greene and would support a fight against her “if the right person runs” in her deep-red district in northern Georgia.
Greene said on Saturday publish on X that she never thought that “the fight to free Epstein's files, the defense of women who were victims of rape, and the fight to expose the network of wealthy powerful elites could cause this, but here we are.”
“And that really speaks for itself,” she wrote in part. “A new way forward is needed. The toxic political-industrial complex thrives, tearing us all apart, but never brings anything good to the American people I love.”
Later on Saturday, the congresswoman also said that she has received threats since Trump began openly criticizing her.
“Violent rhetoric attacking me has historically led to death threats and numerous convictions against men who have been radicalized by the same rhetoric directed at me right now,” Greene said. “This time by the President of the United States.”
In her conversation with Trump, which began Friday, Greene said she would “continue to pray that this administration will be respectful” even though the president “just attacked me and lied about me.”
“I supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost every other Republican turned on him and denounced him,” she wrote on X. “But I do not worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my GA14 district and the American people.”
On Saturday, Trump stepped up his attacks on Greene, saying True Social Post: “Marjorie “Traitor” Greene is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!”
“Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (green grass turns brown when it starts to rot!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned left, performed poorly in a pathetic manner and became the RINO we all know she always was,” the president said in part in one more post on Saturday.
A group of more than two dozen people who identify as Epstein survivors or family members of survivors released a joint statement Saturday in support of Greene.
“Thank you for speaking out against the intimidation, silencing and abuse that Epstein survivors have endured for decades,” the statement said. “…You can count on our full support.”
A spokesman for the group added that many of them had received death threats, adding that this was “part of the price for speaking out.”
New to Congress in 2021, Greene has been closely aligned with Trump for years. defending then former President when he encountered many criminal investigations.
“I didn’t intentionally style myself as President Trump, but I see people drawing that resemblance,” an often pugnacious and abrasive man. the congresswoman told “60 minutes” in a 2023 interview. “We are both from the same industry – construction. I also have a pretty simple speaking style, and so does he.”
However, Greene has regularly criticized Republican congressional leaders in recent weeks. She accused them of not paying enough attention to the cost of living and unable to grab hold with growth health insurance premiums – drawing rare applause from Democratswho made health care a core part of their message in the fight over the government shutdown that ended this week.
And she ran into Mr. Trump. She was one of four House Republicans will sign a petition that will force a vote on a bill to release Justice Department records on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which will help breathe new life to the question that Mr. Trump has repeatedly called on Republicans to refuse.
In an interview on Friday On “CBS Mornings,” Greene called the president's resistance to releasing the files a “huge miscalculation,” arguing that he has nothing to hide.
In it publish on X after the president withdrew her support, Greene accused Trump of trying to “make an example of her” and “scare every other Republican” ahead of the vote to release the Epstein tapes. this is expected to happen next week. She posted a screenshot of a message she said she sent to Trump earlier Friday urging him to “get involved” in the Epstein controversy.
She also recently accused the president of spending too much time on foreign policy, which prompted Trump say Monday that she had “lost her way.” On her “CBS Mornings” interviewshe responded, “I haven’t lost my way—I’m only for the American people.”
“I am America first, and I don’t apologize to anyone about that,” she said.
In a Truth Social post on Friday about his breakup with the congressman, the president suggested next year's Georgia Senate race could be another sore point between him and Greene.
She announced in May that she would not run for the Senate because the House Republican caucus “refuses to win.” Trump said Friday he played a role in dissuading her from entering the race to try to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in one of the hottest races of the 2026 midterm elections.
“I think it all started when I sent her a poll saying she shouldn't run for Senator or Governor, she was at 12% and had no chance (unless of course she got my endorsement – which she wasn't going to get!),” Trump wrote.
