President Donald Trump intensified his dispute with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., over the weekend, publicly criticizing her loyalty and performance while rolling out multiple new nicknames on social media.
In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump referred to Greene as “Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns brown when it begins to ROT!)” and accused her of shifting politically. He also labeled her “a RINO that we all know she always was” and compared her to other Republicans he sees as disloyal. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he added.
The former president followed that message with more insults, including calling her “Wacky Marjorie” and later, “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene,” asserting she had betrayed “our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!”
Greene responded on X, thanking those who expressed support during the public fallout. She said she was surprised to be targeted for her push to release Epstein-related documents and for advocating for women who were victims of sexual assault.
“I believe in the American people more than I believe in any leader or political party,” she wrote. “The American people deserve so much better than how they have been treated by both sides of the aisle.”
Greene then posted screenshots highlighting her high “Liberty Score” from Conservative Review in contrast to the grade of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., as well as a graphic showing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) had not donated to her. She suggested this—and her stance on the Epstein files—prompted Trump’s criticism, adding, “I forgive him and I will pray for him to return to his original MAGA promises.”
Trump announced Friday that he was withdrawing his endorsement of Greene and signaled openness to supporting a primary challenger in 2026. In his message, he described Greene as a “ranting lunatic” and accused her of complaining instead of celebrating what he framed as his administration’s successes.
He also claimed she was upset that he wasn’t returning her calls, writing that he had a long list of officials and obligations competing for his attention and could not respond to her daily.
Greene countered by posting text messages she said she sent Trump, which urged release of Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs and suggested political pressure may be behind the push to keep the information sealed.
She accused Trump of discouraging the release of the files to intimidate Republicans before a vote. “It’s astonishing,” she wrote, “that he is fighting to stop the files from being released to the public.”
Despite her sharp criticisms, Greene emphasized she had long been one of Trump’s most loyal allies. But she added that her priorities remain with her faith and her constituents in Georgia’s 14th District, not with any one political figure.
Greene has notably broken from Trump on issues including U.S.-Israel policy and transparency surrounding Epstein-related materials. Earlier this month, she appeared on “The View,” where hosts suggested she had shifted politically — a claim Trump later repeated. Greene rejected the notion, saying misinformation exists “on both sides.”
