President Trump finally pulled the plug on his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday, and the breakup was anything but quiet. After weeks of watching Greene hop from one media outlet to another, trashing his administration and nitpicking the agenda she once claimed to champion, the president made it clear he was done. Not only done, but ready to help launch a primary challenge against her. It is a stunning turn, considering how loudly Greene used to wrap herself in the America First banner.
Her media tour has been a showcase of contradictions. She took shots at the administration’s immigration plans while chatting with comic podcaster Tim Dillon, then floated the idea that too many illegals were being deported. For someone who built her image on protecting American workers, that position landed like a brick. And her stance on skilled immigration has been murky for years. After the Christmas 2024 dust up involving Silicon Valley luminaries and the pro Trump right, Greene decided to give a both sides speech that satisfied no one. For conservatives who have spent years fighting H1 B abuse, that was not exactly confidence inspiring.
President Trump laid it all out in his Truth Social post. He reminded everyone about his record, rattling off everything from shutting down wars to stabilizing the economy to pulling the country out of the Biden era nosedive. Then he expressed what has clearly been simmering for weeks, that all Greene seems capable of lately is complaining. He said the trouble truly began when he told her a Senate or Governor run would not end well. That is when the distance started. And once Greene realized she was not getting his endorsement, the attitude changed fast.
Trump pointed out that he cannot spend his days taking calls from every irritated lawmaker who wants attention. He even mentioned that conservatives in Georgia are already thinking about primarying her. For someone who has drifted into appearances on left wing shows and picked unnecessary fights with her own party, that is not surprising. Her antics have worn thin with a lot of people who used to consider her an ally.
Greene, for her part, fired back with accusations that Trump is somehow tied to the Epstein files, which is a wild claim on its face. She posted texts lecturing him about the issue, then acted shocked when he did not respond. It felt less like a principled stand and more like a tantrum wrapped in conspiracy buzzwords.
This split has been building for months, and now it is out in the open. What happens next in Georgia will tell us whether conservatives are ready to move on from Greene or whether she somehow rallies support after burning half the bridges she once bragged about crossing.
