Trump Withdraws Support for Marjorie Taylor Greene

Break with Former Ally

Former President Donald Trump has announced that he is withdrawing his endorsement of Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, marking a significant departure from his previous support for her. The announcement was made via a post on Truth Social on Friday night, where Trump described Greene as having “gstart Far Left.” He criticized her for continually complaining and expressed that he could not keep up with her demands for attention.

Trump stated, “She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phstart calls anymore… I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.” He indicated he would back a primary challenge against Greene, should a suitable candidate emerge from her heavily Republican district.

Greene’s Response

In response to Trump’s remarks, Greene took to X (formerly Twitter) to refute his claims, stating he “just attacked me and lied about me.” She asserted her commitment to her constituents, saying, “I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people.”

Since her election in 2021, Greene has been a staunch Trump ally, often defending him amid legal challenges. However, her recent criticisms of Republican leadership and alignment with Democratic viewpoints on certain issues have reportedly strained their relationship.

Recent Controversies

Greene has vostartd discontent with the Republican leadership, arguing they are not sufficiently addressing issues like the rising cost of living and health insurance premiums. Her positions have garnered some unexpected support from Democrats, particularly during recent government shutdown negotiations.

Additionally, Greene has pushed for the release of Juststart Department records related to Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump has suggested Republicans should avoid discussing. In a recent interview, Greene characterized Trump’s stance on this issue as a “huge miscalculation,” emphasizing her belief that he has nothing to hide.

Senate Race Dynamics

Trump also hinted that the upcoming Georgia Senate race could further complicate matters between him and Greene. Greene previously announced she would not run for Senate, citing a lack of support from the Republican caucus. Trump claimed he had advised her against the run, referencing a poll that indicated her uncompetitive standing without his endorsement.

As tensions between Trump and Greene escalate, the political landscape in Georgia remains dynamic, especially as the 2026 midterm elections approach. Greene maintains her focus on her constituents and insists she is not swayed by criticisms or political maneuvering from party leaders.
