President Donald Trump has just dropped a political bombshell that’s sure to rattle the halls of Congress and the heart of Georgia’s Republican base.
Trump announced on Friday that he’s officially pulling his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a decision that marks a sharp break from their once-tight alliance, as reported by the Daily Caller. This move comes after weeks of mounting tension between the two.
The president cited his administration’s sweeping successes since returning to the White House as the backdrop for his frustration with Greene. He accused her of focusing on complaints rather than working for her constituents.
In a blistering statement, Trump laid out his reasoning, saying, “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia.” He went on to list achievements like border security, tax cuts, and military rebuilding, implying Greene’s lack of support undermines these wins.
Trump also pointed to polling data he shared with Greene, showing her at a dismal 12% in potential statewide races for senator or governor. He made it clear that without his backing, her political future looks bleak.
The rift deepened when Trump noted Greene’s frustration over unreturned phone calls, to which he quipped, “I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.” His words cut deep, suggesting her behavior has alienated not just him but others in the party who are fed up with her antics.
Just days before this bombshell, Trump openly criticized Greene after she took to social media to blast his administration’s domestic and foreign policy decisions. When pressed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, he dismissed her remarks with a shrug of disappointment.
Trump reflected on their past, stating, “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie. She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened.” His tone hinted at genuine confusion, but also a firm resolve to prioritize global leadership over local squabbles.
The breaking point seemed to come after Greene publicly criticized the White House visit of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa during the Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary. Posting her discontent on X on Monday, she demanded a focus on domestic priorities, a stance Trump clearly found misaligned with his broader vision.
Trump didn’t hold back on calling out what he sees as Greene’s drift from core conservative values. He pointed to her appearance on “The View,” a platform known for its hostility to Republican ideals, as evidence of her going “Far Left.”
This accusation stings, especially for a figure once seen as a firebrand for the right. It raises questions about whether Greene’s quest for relevance has led her to compromise the very principles she once championed.
Her attacks on the administration, particularly on foreign policy, seem to have crossed a line for Trump. He appears to view her criticism not as constructive debate but as a distraction from the urgent work of rebuilding America’s global standing.
Trump’s withdrawal of support isn’t just a personal slight; it’s a signal to Georgia’s conservative voters and potential challengers. He openly encouraged a primary challenge, promising his “Complete and Unyielding Support” to the right candidate.
This move could reshape Greene’s political future, as Trump’s base remains a powerful force in Republican primaries. Her district may soon become a battleground for those eager to reclaim the seat for a more aligned conservative voice.
While Greene’s passion can’t be denied, Trump’s decision underscores a broader message: loyalty and results matter more than loud rhetoric. As the dust settles, the question remains whether Greene can rebuild trust or if this marks the end of her once-untouchable status in the party.
