Trump Ends Support for Greene, Labels Her a “Lunatic”
Former President Donald Trump has publicly severed ties with Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, labeling her a “ranting lunatic” in response to her criticisms of his handling of various issues, including the controversial Epstein files. This dramatic fallout unfolded on November 15, 2025, through a post on Trump’s social media platform, where he expressed his disappointment with Greene’s behavior, stating that her constant complaints overshadow the “record achievements” his administration accomplished.
Trump’s post emphasized his frustration with Greene, whom he referred to as “Wacky Marjorie,” accusing her of undermining the Republican Party. He hinted at the potential endorsement of a challenger against her in the upcoming midterm elections, asserting that the constituents in her district are “fed up with her and her antics.” This public rift seems to stem from a disagreement that has been escalating over the past six months, particularly after Trump advised Greene against pursuing a Senate or gubernatorial bid.
Escalating Tensions and Public Responses
In a swift rebuttal, Greene took to social media to counter Trump’s allegations. She claimed that she had not called Trump but had sent him messages regarding the Epstein files, which she argued are crucial for public release. Greene, who has aligned herself with both Trump and House Democrats on this issue, expressed her astonishment at Trump’s fierce opposition to the files being disclosed.
In her post, she stated, “It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out.” Greene reiterated her commitment to the Republican Party, asserting that she does not “worship or serve Donald Trump,” despite her previous support for him.
Following this exchange, Trump intensified his critique, referring to Greene as “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene” for her perceived shift in allegiance. He accused her of betraying the Republican Party and aligning herself with the political left.
Concerns Over Safety and Political Climate
In the wake of the escalating conflict, Greene expressed fears for her safety, stating that she has been approached by private security firms due to threats against her. She highlighted the dangers posed by Trump’s remarks, which she believes incite hostility from his supporters.
Greene remarked, “The man I supported and helped get elected,” implying that her loyalty has been met with aggression. She called for an end to the “toxic violent nature of American politics,” urging unity within the party and the country.
This public feud not only highlights the growing divide within the Republican Party but also raises concerns about the implications of such conflicts on the political landscape, particularly as the midterm elections approach. With tensions mounting, the future of Greene’s political career and her influence within the party remains uncertain.
