URGENT UPDATE: In a stunning turn of events, President Donald Trump has publicly labeled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) a “traitor” following her unexpected announcement to resign from Congress. This dramatic fallout comes after Greene stated she would leave her position, effective January 5, 2026, to focus on personal priorities.
Earlier today, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to express his disdain for Greene, citing her “plummeting poll numbers” and the threat of a strong primary challenger backed by his endorsement. He wrote, “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown… has decided to call it ‘quits.’ Her relationship with the WORST Republican Congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky… did not help her.” This harsh critique marks a significant shift in Trump’s support for the GOP firebrand.
Despite his earlier remarks, Trump softened his tone during a phone call with NBC News, expressing a desire to see Greene revive her political career after a brief hiatus. He stated, “I’d love to see that,” while acknowledging the challenges she faces. Trump advised Greene to “take a little rest” before attempting to re-enter the political arena.
Greene’s decision to resign reportedly stems from ongoing threats and harassment targeted at her and her family, including aggressive encounters at public places like restaurants and airports. A source close to Greene revealed that she feels confident in her ability to win her district even without Trump’s endorsement, despite the tumultuous circumstances.
The fallout from this rift highlights not only the shifting allegiances within the Republican Party but also the personal toll that political life can exact on its members. As Greene contemplates her next steps, her future in politics remains uncertain.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on Greene to see how she navigates this turbulent period and whether she can mend her relationship with Trump and reclaim her standing in the party. Stay tuned for further updates on this unfolding story.
