Trump finally breaks with MAGA stalwart Marjorie Taylor Greene after flood of vicious criticism, labeling her 'wacky' | Fortune
"President Donald Trump has publicly called it quits with one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters, calling Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene "'Wacky' Marjorie" and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in next year's midterms "if the right person runs." The dismissal of Greene - once the epitome of "Make America Great Again," sporting the signature red cap for President Joe Biden's 2024 State of the Union address and acting as a go-between for Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans"
"Accusing the Georgia Republican of going "Far Left," Trump wrote that all he had witnessed from Greene in recent months is "COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!" adding, of Greene's purported irritation that he doesn't return her phone calls, "I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day." In a response on X, Greene wrote Friday that Trump had "attacked me and lied about me.""
President Donald Trump broke with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her "Wacky Marjorie" and saying he would endorse a challenger in next year’s midterms if the right person runs. Greene was once a prominent MAGA figure who wore a red cap at President Biden's 2024 State of the Union and served as a go-between for Trump and other Republicans. The split followed months of friction as Greene moderated her profile and increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the federal shutdown and urging plans to help people losing health-insurance subsidies. Greene wrote on X that Trump had attacked and lied about her and posted a screenshot of a text about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.
