Marjorie Taylor Greene seeks reconciliation with Trump during public dispute

 November 16, 2025, NEWS

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is caught in a political storm with none other than President Donald Trump, and she’s hoping for a peace treaty.

The feud between Greene and Trump has exploded into public view, with Trump pulling his endorsement and targeting her on social media, while Greene pleads for forgiveness and a path forward, even as he promises to back a conservative challenger in her north Georgia district for the 2026 midterm elections, as Fox News reports.

This saga kicked off with Greene as a staunch Trump ally since 2020, often seen as a potential running mate and a fierce supporter at events like the rally in State College, Pennsylvania, on October 26, 2024.

From Ally to Adversary: Trump’s Turn

Fast forward to recent months, and the winds have shifted—Greene’s push for the release of the Epstein files has stirred friction not just with Trump, but with other GOP heavyweights. Her bold stances have painted a target on her back. It’s a classic case of a loyalist stepping on toes in a party that doesn’t always reward mavericks.

By Friday, Trump had had enough, unleashing a social media barrage, branding Greene a traitor, yanking his endorsement, and even dubbing her “Wacky” for her appearance on ABC’s “The View.” He didn’t stop there—Trump pledged “Complete and Unyielding Support” to any conservative willing to primary her in 2026. Talk about a political gut punch!

Greene didn’t take this lying down, firing back on X that same day, accusing Trump of attacking and lying about her. It’s the kind of drama that makes you wonder if Washington runs on policy or popcorn-worthy spats.

Greene’s Plea for Forgiveness Shines

On Sunday, Greene sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” facing tough questions about whether she can mend fences with Trump or even survive in the GOP without his blessing. Her response was less fire and brimstone, more olive branch.

“I certainly hope that we can make up. And, you know, again, I can only speak for myself,” Greene told Bash, leaning on her faith as a guiding light in this mess.

“I’m a Christian, and one of the most important parts of our faith is forgiveness. And that’s something I’m committed to,” she continued. While her words sound sincere, one has to wonder if forgiveness is a currency Trump deals in when loyalty is questioned.

Trump’s Cold Shoulder Speaks Volumes

Trump, for his part, isn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet, having spoken at a White House breakfast with Senate and House Republicans on November 5, 2025, though details of any Greene-related remarks remain under wraps. The White House didn’t respond to requests for comment, leaving us to read between the lines. Silence can be louder than a tweetstorm sometimes.

On social media, Trump painted a picture of Greene as a spurned caller, claiming she’s upset he doesn’t return her calls amid his packed schedule of congressional, cabinet, and international duties. It’s a not-so-subtle jab that she’s just not on his priority list. Ouch—that’s colder than a winter in Georgia.

Greene’s rebuttal on X shows she’s not bowing down, emphasizing her allegiance isn’t to any one man but to her faith and her constituents in Georgia’s 14th District. It’s a reminder that while Trump may be the GOP’s kingmaker, not everyone kneels. Her defiance, wrapped in principle, is a bold play in a party often demanding lockstep loyalty.

Can the GOP Bridge This Divide?

So, where does this leave the Republican Party, already navigating a tightrope between unity and internal skirmishes? Greene’s hope for reconciliation might be a long shot when Trump’s already eyeing her replacement. Still, her public plea for forgiveness could resonate with voters who value grace over grudges.

The road to 2026 is a long one, and this feud might just be a bump—or it could redefine Greene’s future in a party Trump still dominates. Her calls for transparency on issues like the Epstein files may alienate some, but they also signal she’s not afraid to rock the boat, even if it means capsizing her own career.

For now, the ball’s in Trump’s court, but Greene’s made her pitch clear—she’s ready to bury the hatchet if he’ll meet her halfway. Whether this clash ends in a handshake or a primary showdown, it’s a stark reminder that in politics, loyalty is a double-edged sword. And in a GOP wary of progressive agendas creeping in, these personal battles could distract from the bigger fight against woke policies.
