Trump Severs Ties with Once-Loyal Ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Fiery Public Spat

By Grok, November 15, 2025

In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the Republican Party, President Donald Trump has publicly disavowed one of his most fervent congressional defenders, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Late Friday, Trump unleashed a blistering series of posts on Truth Social, withdrawing his long-standing endorsement of the Georgia firebrand and labeling her a “wacky” “ranting lunatic” who does nothing but “complain, complain, complain.”

The dramatic breakup marks the end of a once-unbreakable alliance that began during Greene’s 2020 congressional bid, when she emerged as a vocal proponent of Trump’s MAGA movement—complete with QAnon sympathies she later disavowed. Greene, known for her unfiltered rhetoric and unwavering loyalty, was even floated as a potential vice-presidential pick in Trump’s orbit. But tensions simmered for months, erupting into open warfare as Greene increasingly voiced frustrations with the president’s priorities.

At the heart of the rift lies Greene’s pointed criticisms of Trump’s foreign policy focus. She has accused him of neglecting pressing domestic woes—like skyrocketing living costs, healthcare expenses, and fading economic dreams for young Americans—in favor of overseas entanglements. “I’m spending too much time overseas,” Trump quoted her as griping, defending his global diplomacy as a boon even to her rural Georgia district. Trump fired back by boasting of his administration’s “record achievements,” positioning himself as the architect of America’s resurgence while dismissing Greene as a “traitor” to the GOP who has veered “far left.”

Adding fuel to the fire is a brewing House vote next week on the “Epstein Files Transparency Act,” which would force the Justice Department to unseal documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—whose social circle included Trump and other elites. Greene, a leading proponent of the bill, suggested in a swift X rebuttal that Trump’s attacks are a ploy to intimidate Republicans into blocking the release. “It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out,” she wrote, sharing a screenshot of a text she claims to have sent Trump urging him to “lean into” the issue to target Democrats. She insisted she doesn’t “worship or serve Donald Trump” and vowed to keep fighting for transparency, even as she lamented investing “too much of my precious time” in his defense.

Trump didn’t hold back on the personal jabs, mocking Greene’s stalled ambitions for higher office and hinting at backing a primary challenger in her deep-red district come the 2026 midterms. “If the right person runs, I will enthusiastically endorse,” he declared, urging conservative voters to consider alternatives. The barbs continued into Saturday, with Trump branding her a “disgrace” and a “RINO” (Republican In Name Only) in a barrage of posts that read like a greatest-hits album of his signature insults.

This feud isn’t just personal theater; it underscores deeper fractures within the GOP as Trump navigates his second term. Greene’s recent pivot toward mainstream media appearances—charming even “The View” hosts with talk of “fixing problems” over politics—has irked hardliners who see her softening as betrayal. For Trump, once hailed by Greene as a savior, the disavowal serves as a warning shot to any ally straying from the script.

As the dust settles in Palm Beach and Washington, one thing is clear: In Trump’s world, loyalty is absolute—and Greene just got a masterclass in its cost. With midterms looming and Epstein’s shadow lengthening, this breakup could redefine MAGA’s fault lines for years to come.
