Trump gives ex-ally Greene new nickname after dropped endorsement, says she betrayed ‘entire Republican Party’

By Eric November 17, 2025

In a dramatic escalation of tensions, former President Donald Trump has publicly severed ties with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., branding her a “traitor” and accusing her of betraying the Republican Party. The feud ignited over Greene’s recent criticisms and her push to release the Epstein files, which Trump claims are damaging to his image. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump referred to Greene using multiple derogatory nicknames, including “Marjorie Taylor Brown” and “Wacky Marjorie,” while labeling her a “ranting lunatic.” He expressed disappointment in her perceived shift to the left and vowed to support any challenger who might run against her in the upcoming 2026 primaries.

Greene responded to Trump’s attacks by asserting her commitment to the American people over party loyalty. She defended her actions regarding the Epstein files and expressed confusion over why Trump would oppose their release. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), she highlighted her conservative credentials, showcasing her high “Liberty Score” compared to other Republican figures, including Sen. Lindsey Graham. Greene portrayed herself as a victim of a political system that thrives on division, emphasizing her dedication to fighting for victims of abuse and exposing corruption among powerful elites. She concluded with a declaration of her faith and commitment to her constituents, stating that while she has supported Trump, her allegiance ultimately lies with God and the American people.

This conflict marks a significant shift in Greene’s relationship with Trump, who once endorsed her fervently. As Greene becomes increasingly critical of Trump, particularly regarding U.S.-Israel relations and the Epstein scandal, this rift could signal a broader ideological divide within the Republican Party. Greene’s willingness to stand her ground against Trump, a figure she once staunchly supported, reflects the evolving dynamics of party loyalty and the challenges faced by Republican leaders as they navigate internal dissent and the pressures of their base.

President
Donald Trump
gave Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a new nickname and accused her of betraying “the entire Republican Party” as a feud between the two escalates.
“Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns brown when it begins to ROT!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO that we all know she always was. Just another fake politician, no different than Rand Paul Jr. (Thomas Massie), who got caught being a full-fledged Republican In Name Only (RINO)! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!,” Trump wrote on
Truth Social on Saturday.
“Marjorie Taylor Brown” is the second nickname Trump has bestowed upon the congresswoman in the last 24 hours. The initial nickname he gave her was “Wacky Marjorie.”
After his initial post on Saturday morning, the president
posted again
and gave his former ally yet another nickname, calling her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene.”
TRUMP DROPS MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE ENDORSEMENT, CALLS HER A ‘RANTING LUNATIC,’ HINTS AT BACKING PRIMARY RIVAL
“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Green [sic] is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
On Saturday, Greene posted a message on X thanking those who reached out amid her feud with the president.
“I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are. And it truly speaks for itself,”
Greene wrote
.
“The toxic political industrial complex thrives on ripping us all apart but never delivers anything good for the American people, whom I love,” she added. “I believe in the American people more than I believe in any leader or political party and the American people deserve so much better than how they have been treated by both sides of the aisle.”
She then replied with her personal account and added screenshots of her “Liberty Score,” a grading system used by Conservative Review, and that of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., showing that she received an “A” while the senator was given an “F.” She also included a graphic from “AIPAC Tracker” showing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) had not given her any donations.
“This and the Epstein files is why I’m being attacked by President Trump. It really makes you wonder what is in those files and who and what country is putting so much pressure on him? I forgive him and I will pray for him to return to his original MAGA promises,”
she wrote
.
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE SURPRISES ‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOSTS WITH CIVILITY, PRAISE
Trump announced Friday he was withdrawing his support and endorsement of Greene, calling her a “ranting lunatic.” He also accused her of “complaining” instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s “record achievements.” The president, in a lengthy Truth Social post, then vowed “complete and unyielding support” for “the right person” if someone were to challenge Greene in 2026.
The president claimed Greene was complaining to others that he was not returning her calls. He said that “with 219 congressmen/women, 53 U.S. senators, 24 cabinet members, almost 200 countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting lunatic’s call every day.”
After the post on Friday,
Greene said.
“President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today. Apparently, this is what sent him over the edge. The Epstein files.”
In the post on X, Greene included a screenshot of a message she claimed she sent to Trump. The message said, “Check the flight logs of Epstein’s plane. Bill Clinton is on there like 26 times! Hillary too!! For many of us releasing the Epstein files has always been for the women who were victims of
Jeffery Epstein
, but also because we believed that Democrat bad guys like the Clintons were entangled and involved with him. Epstein was the spider that wove the web of the deep state. Lean into it.”
The congresswoman accused Trump
of “coming after me hard to make an example and scare all the other Republicans before next weeks [sic] vote to release the Epstein files.” She remarked that it was “astonishing” that Trump was “fighting” to stop the files from being released to the public.
THE REVOLT OF MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, NOW DONALD TRUMP’S FIERCEST CRITIC
Greene declared where her loyalty will always lie, writing, “I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him.”
“But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my Savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people,” she wrote.
Greene had been a strong supporter of Trump since she entered Congress in 2021. However, she has become a vocal critic of the president, particularly when it comes to U.S.-Israel relations and the Epstein files.
On Nov. 4, Greene joined the co-hosts of “The View,” who are famously critical of Trump, and discussed a wide range of topics. When co-host Sunny Hostin remarked that it seemed like Greene had moved to the left — something Trump later echoed — Greene pushed back, insisting that “there’s lies that come in both sides.”
