Trump vs Greene: It’s war

Donald Trump has finally had enough with Marjorie Taylor Greene, and unsurprisingly, Jeffrey Epstein was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

MTG has been consistent on her anti-Epstein messaging, frequently telling the media she believes all the files should be unclassified. Initially, this opinion aligned with Trump’s politics.

In 2024, Donald Trump ran on a platform dedicated to declassifying the Epstein files, even though it was reported that Trump himself was a frequent character.

As soon as Trump began his second term, he flipped on the Epstein issue, claiming the files were a ‘hoax’ and frequently downplaying the crimes of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner-in-crime.

The comments that finally made Trump shut the door on MTG came on Friday morning, with Greene appearing on CBS Mornings. Greene told hosts Gayle King, Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson that Trump is making a ‘huge miscalculation” by dismissing the bipartisan group of House representatives pushing to release the Epstein files.

“Just being very honest with you, it’s something that I don’t understand, [the government] will not protect the predators,”

Trump initially took to Truth Social to make his opinions known, calling Greene a “raving lunatic” (yes, really), and claiming she has gone “far-left” because of her recent comments criticizing Republicans on the Epstein issue and the government shutdown.

“I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,”

Trump added that he would no longer take Greene’s calls, effectively ending their relationship.

On her part, Greene didn’t take the comments lying down, stating on Twitter, “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.”

She added that she doesn't “worship Donald Trump,” saying something that most Republican politicians can’t.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been one of Donald Trump’s most effective allies since 2016, and she is currently one of the most popular Republican representatives holding office.

Donald Trump has denied any wrongdoing regarding his friendship with criminal sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Unfortunately for DJT, there seems to be mounting evidence saying the contrary.

The House of Representatives will take up the Epstein vote again next week. The motion to release the files was last blocked in September, with Republican congresspeople outvoting Democrats 51-49.

The Epstein story found its way above the fold after new emails from Epstein were released last week. Though none of the emails explicitly outlined criminal wrongdoing by Donald Trump, his name was mentioned more than 150 times, according to the CBC.

One email claimed that Trump “knew about the girls,” and another claimed he was “the dog that hasn’t barked.”
