alliance between donald trump And representative. marjorie taylor green has broken dramatically, escalating into an explosive fight which may indicate deep cracks within His ‘Make America Great Again’ movement Before next year’s midterm elections.
earlier this year, Green was a staunch supporterDuring an address to Congress, she held an American flag and wore a red baseball cap that read, “Trump was right about everything.” She received a kiss from Trump after his speech and established herself as a key political ally.
Their unity proved short-lived. Greene has recently intensified her criticism of Trump’s foreign policy focus, advocating an agenda focused on US domestic concerns, as well as his unwillingness to Release Jeffrey Epstein files,
On Friday, Trump announced his support for a primary challenge against the Georgia congresswoman. “All I see is ‘Wacky’ Marjorie all she does is complain, complain, complain!” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
The controversy escalated Saturday when Trump released a new nickname: “Marjorie Taylor Brown,” saying “When green grass starts to rot it turns brown!”
Undaunted, Greene refused to back down, and suggested that she, not Trump, embodies the true ‘America First’ agenda.
“I trust the American people more than any leader or political party,” she posted, while also expressing concern for her safety from “threats coming from the most powerful man in the world.”
Green is not the first lawmaker to face Trump’s wrath. However, their division is most notable in their second term. She has been closely associated with him since 2020, when he began his political career in rural northwest Georgia.
Support QAnon conspiracy theoryGreene, who appeared with white supremacists and brandished an assault rifle, was opposed by party leaders but supported by Trump. He called him a “future Republican star” and “a real winner!”
Jason Shepherd, a Republican in Georgia who resigned from party office over disagreements with Trump supporters, said 2020 was a “perfect storm of political weirdness” during the turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Georgia was one of the closely contested states where Trump disputed his loss to Democrat Joe Biden, even pressuring Georgia’s secretary of state to “find” enough votes to overturn the results.
“We never know what position Marjorie Taylor Greene will run for next,” said Shepherd, an attorney and political science professor who lives in Greene’s district.
He said, “I don’t know if he has any core beliefs, other than what will help him the most.”
Greene began her congressional tenure as Trump was leaving the White House, and she supported the election lies that led to his Attack on US Capitol on January 6, 2021She became a prominent media figure as the target of liberal vilification and promoter of Trump-style conservatism, and was a loyal lieutenant in his 2024 comeback campaign,
But tensions began earlier this year when Greene was exploring a possible 2026 campaign against Jon Ossoff, one of Georgia’s two Democratic senators. Trump said he had sent Greene a poll that showed she had “no chance.” She was ultimately passed over in the race and later declined to run for Governor of Georgia, attacking the political “good guy” system, which she accused of threatening Republican control of the state.
Green has recently established a different, more congenial tone.
she went on abc Scene, The daytime talk show is considered a safe space for Democrats to say that “people with powerful voices,” especially women, need to “pave a new path.”
The rhetoric led to speculation that Greene herself was considering running for president, which was later denied by her boyfriend, Brian Glenn, a conservative reporter known for his friendly questions of Trump.
Green has also been criticizing TrumpEspecially their work with other countries. He told Tucker Carlson last month that at a time when Americans are angry about the prices of everyday necessities, the administration’s support for Argentina was “a punch in the gut.”
Green is one of the handful republican Supporting an effort to force the Justice Department to release more documents tied to Epstein, a convicted sex offender with ties to some of the most powerful people in the country. Trump has struggled to fend off questions about his own relationship with Epstein, who was found dead in his prison cell in 2019 in what authorities ruled a suicide.
Trump rejected Greene’s criticism, telling reporters on Monday that “she has lost her way.”
Shawn Harris, a retired Army general and Democrat who lost to Greene in 2024, is running against her again in 2026. He said Green’s change was part of his attention-seeking behavior.
“Marjorie is always fighting people to stay in the news and finally it’s President Trump’s turn,” Harris wrote in a text message. “But neither of them have done a single thing for the hard-working people in Northwest Georgia. The way things have been going lately, it’s not clear that their support will help anyone.”
It is common for political alliances to sour over time, especially as a President is completing his second term and members of his party begin to think about a future without him.
Trump has mostly avoided this so far. Despite a constitutional ban on extending his time in office, he has flirted with the possibility of running for a third term, and has exerted strong influence over the Republican-controlled Congress.
He faces a key political test next year as Democrats try to regain control of the House, which would give them the power to block legislation and launch investigations of his administration.
The president is trying to improve his party’s prospects by pressuring states to redraw congressional districts to favor Republicans, but he is also trying to remove lawmakers he deems disloyal. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky is already the target of a Trump-backed primary challenge, and Greene could be next if she and the president do not reconcile, as has sometimes happened after falling out with Trump allies.
Although no one has immediately announced they are jumping into the race, some are considering it.
State Senator Colton Moore, a Republican from the area who previously campaigned against Ossoff, criticized Greene. “I’m more disappointed in him than I am in President Trump, and he doesn’t care,” she said.
On Saturday, he complained that he had to ‘run away’ whenever he called his office for help. He also praised Trump’s way of handling the economy.
“I also have a passport full of countries around the world that I have visited in the last year,” he said. “Worse than all of America”
Asked if he would challenge Greene, Moore said in a text that “I have only one purpose in life…to put America first.”
