Trump Withdraws Support for Greene Amid Epstein Investigation Feud
UPDATE: Tensions between President Donald Trump and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene have reached a boiling point as Trump has officially withdrawn his support for the Georgia Republican amid escalating accusations over her stance on the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. This dramatic turn of events unfolded over the weekend, with Trump now considering backing a primary challenger against Greene.
The feud ignited after Greene criticized Trump during an NBC News interview, questioning his focus on domestic issues compared to foreign engagements. “No one cares about the foreign countries,” she stated, expressing frustration over the frequent visits from foreign leaders to the White House. Trump’s sharp response came shortly thereafter, labeling Greene as “a very different figure” and stating he is no longer “a fan.”
On November 11, 2023, while aboard Air Force One, Trump expressed concern about Greene’s recent shift in political stance, suggesting her constituents may not be pleased. “Something happened to her over the last period of a month or two where she changed,” he remarked, referring to her recent criticisms.
In a series of social media posts, Trump did not hold back. He condemned Greene’s actions, saying, “all I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN.” He further indicated that he is aware of “wonderful, Conservative people” considering primary challenges against her in Georgia, emphasizing that he would grant them his “Complete and Unyielding Support.”
Greene retaliated with her own social media updates, revealing that she had received death threats and accusing Trump of attacking her to intimidate other Republicans ahead of the vote to release the Epstein files. “It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out,” she stated, highlighting the ongoing tension surrounding the investigation.
“I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this,” Greene continued, expressing disbelief at the level of hostility directed toward her by Trump.
As the conflict intensifies, observers are left wondering how this public feud will impact both Trump and Greene’s political futures. The fallout from this controversy could resonate significantly within the Republican Party, particularly as the midterm elections approach.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow this developing story, including the latest updates on the Epstein investigation and the potential ramifications for both Trump and Greene.
