Trump drops Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsement, calls her a ‘ranting lunatic,’ hints at backing primary rival
In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump announced on Friday night via Truth Social that he is withdrawing his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, labeling her a “ranting lunatic.” This unexpected public rebuke comes after Greene, a staunch Trump ally since her entry into Congress in 2021, has increasingly found herself at odds with the former president. In his lengthy post, Trump accused Greene of “complaining” rather than celebrating the achievements of his administration, and he even gave her a new nickname: “Wacky Marjorie.” The rift appears to have been exacerbated by Greene’s recent appearance on *The View*, which Trump cited as evidence of her shift towards the “Far Left.”
Trump’s withdrawal of support could have significant implications for Greene as the 2026 midterm elections approach. He expressed his intention to provide “Complete and Unyielding Support” to any conservative primary challenger who might emerge against her. This move signals a potential shift in the dynamics of Georgia politics, particularly as Trump has historically wielded considerable influence over Republican candidates in the state. Greene responded swiftly on social media, denying Trump’s claims and suggesting that his ire was sparked by her recent efforts to release the Epstein files, a topic she claims Trump is attempting to suppress. She emphasized that while she has devoted considerable time and resources to supporting Trump, she does not worship him but rather serves her constituents and God.
The fallout from this public spat raises questions about Greene’s future in Congress and the potential for new challengers to emerge in her solidly Republican district. Greene has positioned herself as a key player within the GOP, often aligning with Trump’s controversial stances and rhetoric. However, Trump’s criticism may embolden other Republicans to challenge her, especially if they perceive an opportunity to capitalize on her falling out with the former president. As the political landscape continues to evolve, the ramifications of this feud will likely be felt in the upcoming election cycle, making it a pivotal moment for both Greene and the broader Republican party.

President
Donald Trump
announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
, calling her a “ranting lunatic” and accusing the Georgia Republican of “complaining” instead of celebrating what he described as his administration’s “record achievements.”
The president claimed that Greene “has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore” in a long post where he ultimately vowed “Complete and Unyielding Support” to any conservative primary challenger leading into the
2026 midterm elections
.
Trump claimed Greene had ”
gone Far Left
,” citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname “Wacky Marjorie.”
Greene has been one of Trump’s most vocal allies since entering Congress in 2021, backing him during multiple impeachment attempts and campaigning with him across red states.

“It seemed to all begin when I sent her
a Poll
stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!),” the president wrote.
“She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but 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,” Trump added.
Rep. Greene responded immediately on social media, writing on X that “President Trump just attacked me and lied about me.”

“I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today,” Greene added with screenshots of text messages. “Apparently this is what sent him over the edge. The Epstein files. And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other Republicans before next week’s vote to release the Epstein files. It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.”
Greene seemed to have shut the door for any future working relationship with President Trump in her post, 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,” Greene wrote. “I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people.”
After touting his administration’s accomplishment since the beginning of his
second term
this January, the president quipped, “having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”
Trump’s move could open the door for
Georgia Republicans
seeking to challenge Greene next year in her ruby-red district.
The
White House
did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
