President Trump didn’t mince words when Politico’s Dasha Burns asked him why Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suddenly turned her flamethrower in his direction. Instead of pretending this was some grand ideological split, Trump spelled it out in the bluntest possible terms. According to him, Greene didn’t break over policy, principles, or even strategy. She broke over something far more embarrassing. Phone calls. Or rather, the fact that he stopped taking hers.
Trump has never been shy about calling people out, and he didn’t hold back here either. “I’ve watched stupid people like Marjorie Traitor Greene, or some people call her Taylor Greene. Some people call her Taylor Brown because green sometimes turns to brown, which isn’t nice,” he said. That set the tone. He made it clear that her sudden crusade against him isn’t about foreign policy at all. It’s about hurt feelings.
He said Greene “was a loyal person until I wasn’t able to answer her phone calls ’cause I’m just too busy to answer people’s phone calls.” In classic Trump fashion, he explained the reality of the job by rattling off his schedule. “You can’t call me three times a day,” he said. He added that he deals with “over 200 congressmen, 53 senators, 212 countries, you know, all of these people are calling, and a family,” and admitted the family takes the biggest hit because it’s “harder for me to call back the family.”
Trump says “Low IQ” Marjorie Taylor Greene was loyal until he stopped answering her constant phone calls:

In other words, he didn’t ghost Greene. He just has an actual job to do. Greene, apparently, didn’t take kindly to being bumped from the front of the line. Trump said she only started attacking him publicly after he stopped responding, and he brushed off her claims that he’s too focused on foreign conflicts.
To Trump, the criticism isn’t just silly, it’s factually wrong. He reminded Burns of what his foreign trips produce. “I made one trip. I brought back trillions of dollars on that one trip,” he said, pointing to major deals in Asia and the Middle East, including selling “like 300” Boeing planes. In his view, these efforts strengthen the domestic economy more than anything Greene has ever proposed.
So while Greene is out there pretending she’s taking a principled stand, Trump is making it clear the truth is simpler. She didn’t lose faith in his agenda. She lost access to his phone line. And for someone who built her entire political brand on proximity to Trump, that was apparently unforgivable.
