Trump Says He No Longer Supports Marjorie Taylor Greene

President Trump announced in a social media post on Friday that he was withdrawing his support from Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who was once known as one of his most vocal loyalists, accusing her of turning on him and fixating on criticism.

In a lengthy post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump wrote, “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene,” adding insults such as calling her “wacky.”

The break comes after months in which Ms. Greene has increasingly expressed skepticism about the president’s growing attention to foreign conflicts and warning that domestic issues such as the cost of living, rising health care costs and economic opportunities for the next generation are being sidelined.

Mr. Trump cast those concerns as disloyalty, saying her shift “seemed to all begin” after he discouraged her from seeking statewide office and stopped returning her calls. He also suggested Republicans in her district should recruit a primary challenger, vowing that “if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support.”

The president further derided her recent media appearances as evidence that she has drifted from his wing of the party by “even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors.” The announcement is the sharpest rupture yet between Mr. Trump and a lawmaker who built her career as one of his fiercest defenders.

In recent months, Ms. Greene has visibly and publicly shifted from her once-steadfast alignment with Mr. Trump and deferred to him as the leader of the “Make America Great Again” and “America First” movements. Her departure from the president has signaled a readiness to disagree on a range of issues that have often put her at odds with both Mr. Trump and Republican colleagues in Washington.

Earlier this year she became the first Republican lawmaker to label the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a genocide and has challenged her party’s position on a range of foreign policy issues. She criticized Republican leadership and the White House for failing to immediately make policy decisions to address cost-of-living increases for millions of Americans despite making it a centerpiece of the 2024 campaign for the party.

Most recently, she drew the ire of Republicans as one of only four House Republicans who joined all Democrats in signing a discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Department of Justice files related to Jeffrey Epstein. She called the president’s opposition to the disclosure a “‘huge miscalculation” and said that she would “stand with the women and I think they deserve to be the ones that we’re fighting for.”
