Historical Relationship
Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), the Republican Congresswoman from Georgia, has long been one of Donald Trump’s most vocal and loyal supporters in Congress.
Since entering office in 2021, she positioned herself as a leading figure in the MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) movement, defending Trump during his impeachments, promoting his agenda, and even wearing MAGA gear prominently (e.g., at Biden’s 2024 State of the Union).
She spent significant personal time and money backing him, especially when other Republicans distanced themselves post-2020 election and January 6.
Trump, in turn, praised her as a fierce ally and relied on her as a bridge to hardline conservatives on Capitol Hill.
The Recent Fallout (as of November 15, 2025)
As of yesterday (November 14, 2025), President Donald Trump publicly withdrew his endorsement and support for MTG, marking a dramatic and public breakup.
In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump called her:
- “Wacky” Marjorie Taylor Greene
- A “ranting lunatic”
- Someone who only “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN”
- Accused her of going “Far Left” (citing appearances on shows like The View)
He stated he would back a strong Republican primary challenger against her in the 2026 midterms “if the right person runs,” effectively threatening her political future in her deep-red Georgia district.
This came after months of simmering tensions in Trump’s second term (which began in January 2025).
Key Points of Disagreement
MTG has increasingly criticized Trump and the administration on several fronts, positioning herself as a purer “America First” voice:
1. Domestic Priorities vs. Foreign Policy:
MTG has blasted Trump for focusing too much on overseas travel, ending foreign wars, and global diplomacy while ignoring rising costs of living, healthcare affordability, and economic issues at home.
She argued Republicans risk losing the 2026 midterms if they don’t pivot immediately to these “five-alarm fire” problems.
2. Jeffrey Epstein Files:
This appears to be the immediate trigger.
MTG is one of only a handful of Republicans (along with figures like Lauren Boebert and Thomas Massie) pushing aggressively for the full release of Justice Department files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump and the White House have opposed or tried to block/delay this.
MTG called Trump’s stance a “huge miscalculation” and accused him of fighting hard to prevent release—claiming his attack on her was meant to intimidate other Republicans ahead of an upcoming House vote.
(Trump has denied wrongdoing regarding Epstein and redirected focus to others, like Democratic donors.)
3. Other Issues:
Minor friction over trade tariffs (MTG called the rollout “bumpy”), inflation claims, and broader shifts where MTG has occasionally aligned with Democrats or moderates on issues like ACA subsidies or Gaza.
Some observers note MTG has “moderated” or become more pragmatic/principled on certain topics, earning surprised praise from unlikely sources (e.g., The View hosts calling her “reasonable”).
MTG’s Response
Greene fired back quickly on social media (X/Twitter):
- Denied calling Trump repeatedly (as he claimed) and shared texts showing her pushing on Epstein files.
- Said Trump was lying and using her as an “example” to scare Republicans into blocking the Epstein release.
- Emphasized her past sacrifices for him but declared: “I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA-14 and the American people.”
- Reiterated she’s “America First and America Only.”
Current Status: A Major MAGA Fracture
- This is a significant rift in the MAGA coalition, with MTG now a rare intra-party critic of Trump.
- Trump has fully cut ties and is open to primarying her.
- As of today (November 15, 2025), the breakup is fresh and dominating political news—no reconciliation reported.
- It highlights emerging splits in the Republican Party/Trump base over priorities like isolationism vs. global engagement, transparency on scandals, and economic populism.
In short:
What was once a rock-solid alliance has exploded into open hostility, primarily over Epstein files and domestic focus, with Trump actively working to end MTG’s career as he sees it.
This could foreshadow broader 2026 primary battles within the GOP.
