President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are embroiled in a political soap opera that’s juicier than a prime-time drama.
According to the Daily Mail, this saga, packed with sharp words and sudden twists, centers on Greene’s unexpected resignation announcement on Friday and Trump’s rollercoaster reactions over the weekend, swinging from harsh criticism to a surprising call for her return to politics.
The feud kicked off earlier in 2025 when Greene publicly split with Trump over the White House’s mishandled release of the Epstein files, aligning herself with other dissenting Republicans like Rep. Thomas Massie.
Despite claiming loyalty to Trump for months, Greene’s frustration with the Republican Party’s inaction—despite holding the presidency and both congressional chambers—pushed her to the edge.
On Friday, in a 10-minute video, she dropped the bombshell that she’ll resign from Congress on January 5, 2026, a move that blindsided Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, per NBC sources.
Greene didn’t hold back, slamming Washington’s establishment as a “political industrial complex” and citing personal safety concerns after receiving death threats against her and her children in recent weeks.
Trump’s first response on Friday was anything but gentle, as he called into ABC News to cheer Greene’s exit, declaring it “great news for the country.”
Adding fuel to the fire, he branded her a “raging lunatic” after she called him “hateful” for pulling his endorsement, showing just how deep this rift has cut.
By Saturday, though, Trump’s tune changed faster than a politician dodging a tough question, as he took to Truth Social to claim Greene turned on him over unanswered phone calls and floated the nickname “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown.”
Yet, in a stunning pivot during an NBC News interview on Saturday, Trump softened his stance, saying, “I’d love to see it,” regarding Greene’s potential comeback to politics. While acknowledging the uphill battle she’d face, he suggested she take a breather, adding a layer of complexity to this love-hate dynamic that keeps everyone guessing.
Let’s not kid ourselves—Trump’s flip-flop might be strategic, but it also hints at a lingering respect for Greene’s past loyalty, even if their current spat is messier than a policy debate on social media.
Behind Greene’s decision, sources close to her told NBC that safety fears, not political rivals, drove her to step away, with threats reportedly egged on by powerful figures.
Still, her base hasn’t abandoned her, with supporters like Debbie Dyer praising her gutsy, no-nonsense style in an NBC interview, proving Greene’s influence isn’t fading just yet.
Washington’s toxic atmosphere, as Greene sees it, needs a complete overhaul, and while her exit might signal defeat to some, it’s also a loud protest against a system she believes has failed the American people.
