Late on Friday, President Trump made a significant announcement: he has withdrawn his endorsement and support for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. This marks a significant escalation in their ongoing conflict, which has intensified as Greene has frequently criticized her fellow Republicans and even Trump himself over the past few months.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia.” He further noted his disappointment, saying, “all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”

Trump went on to describe Greene as a “ranting lunatic” and accused her of having “gone Far Left.”

This withdrawal of support occurred just days after a discharge petition garnered enough signatures to force a vote on a bill that would require the Department of Justice to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Greene was one of four Republicans who supported the petition, despite Trump’s strong opposition.

The rift between Greene and the president, whom she once staunchly backed, began to widen months ago after Trump advised against her running for statewide office in Georgia. Trump confirmed this disagreement in his recent post.

“It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!),”Trump said in the post.

“She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”

Greene in a response on X said that Trump “lied about me” — “I haven’t called him at all.” 

She shared a text message she sent Trump earlier on Friday encouraging him to “lean into” the Epstein files issue, noting former President Clinton’s connections to Epstein.

“Apparently this is what sent him over the edge. The Epstein files. And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next weeks vote to release the Epstein files,” Greene said.

“But really most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America who are fed up with foreign wars and foreign causes, are going broke trying to feed their families, and are losing hope of ever achieving the American dream,” she added.

Shortly before making the post, Trump told reporters while traveling to his Mar-a-Lago resort that he was open to endorsing someone in primary bid against Greene. On Truth Social, he went further, writing that “the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support.”

“Something happened to her over the last period of a month or two where she changed, I think, politically,” he told reporters on Air Force One. “I think that her constituents aren’t going to be happy. Already I have people calling me, they want to challenge her to a race in her district in Georgia.”

While Greene forged her political identity in Congress as a fierce loyalist of President Trump, she has put herself on the opposite side of many of the president’s positions since he has been back in the White House.

Greene over the summer opposed Trump’s strike on Iran, and became first Republican in Congress to dub Israel’s actions in Gaza a “genocide.”  She signed the Epstein discharge petition. And she went against Republicans’ shutdown messaging, saying the GOP have no plan to address health care.

Greene told The Hill in an interview in October that she is “100 percent the same person today as I was when I ran for Congress.”

At the end of his post, Trump took a swipe at Greene for appearing on “The View” last week, during which she said that it is “OK” if Trump does not “love” her back right now.

“She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors,” Trump said.
