President Donald Trump appeared to reach for one of his favorite tools — a biting nickname meant to put former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene back in her place and remind everyone who controls the hierarchy. But this time, the ritual didn’t land the way it usually does.
Instead of flinching, Greene absorbed the jab and flipped it in real time, sharpening a fight that’s already been brewing and signaling that the old pressure points don’t hit the way they used to.
Trump has been calling the previous representative for Georgia’s 14th District despicable names for months now ever since Greene broke ranks with Republicans last summer to support the victims of convicted sex trafficker Jeffry Epstein and began calling for the release of the Epstein files, something Trump supported on the campaign trail but continually blocked once he got back into office.
With early voting already underway to replace Greene, Trump was heading to Rome, Georgia, in the heart of the district on Thursday, Feb. 19, to deliver an economic speech and visit a local business, according to the White House.
On Monday, Feb. 16, a reporter asked him about the upcoming trip to Greene’s former district, and just the mention of her name seemed to push Trump over the edge, angering him enough to use a vile insult, one he’s been using quite often.
“Well, we have a lot of people that want to take Majorie Traitor Greene’s place and many, many candidates and I have to choose one,” a spiteful Trump bragged while still dissing Greene and clearly forgetting he’s already endorsed a candidate, Lookout Mountain District Attorney Clay Fuller.
“They say whoever I endorse is going to win, but we have a lot of good candidates who want to take her place,” the president boasted.
Greene didn’t take Trump’s jab lying down. In fact she responded so swiftly and succinctly, supporters say Trump still doesn’t know what hit him.
“Him calling me that has become a badge of honor because I’m not in his cult, I refused to bow to his demands to cover up the Epstein files to protect his friends, and I stopped fighting the hardest for a team that intentionally refuses to win,” Greene scathingly wrote in a post on X above a clip of Trump calling her “Traitor.”
“I left too. Letting Epstein clients walk free is not America First,” wrote one X user.
“Trump not releasing the epstien files right away will cost us the midterms …..it will also be his legacy,” another observed.
“Omg, between Trump crying that Bill Maher betrayed him and now you crying that Trump betrayed you, it’s almost like y’all are nothing but a bunch of actors in a novela,” another fumed.
But the MAGA sphere has already turned on Greene, and plenty of other non-MAGA voters have taken offense with her past support for Trump and have no sympathy for her change of heart.
“You were in his cult. You caused irreparable damage with your recklessness and rhetoric. Standing up for the Epstein Victims is commendable. But you have a long way to go Marge,” this X user chastised Greene.
Golden Bachelor was even more blunt in a response to Greene’s X post, “Epstein obsession while ignoring your own scandals? Classic deflection. You were all in on the Trump train until the gravy stopped flowing. Now you’re attacking the man who made you relevant. Disgraceful sellout. Real MAGA sees through your fake outrage.”
Greene was nothing short of a Trump sycophant for years, defending him and kissing up to him whenever she got the chance, supporting him unwaveringly, shockingly breaking with decorum and heckling former President Joe Biden relentlessly during his first State of the Union address before a joint session of Congress in January of 2022 and again in 2024.
Greene was first elected to Congress in 2020 as a staunch supporter of Trump. She defended him after he tried to overthrow the 2020 election on Jan. 6, 2021, and continued to back his conservative anti-immigrant, anti-abortion, pro-gun agenda, according to news outlets, until last summer.
That’s when she began questioning his priorities and publicly calling attention not only to the Epstein files the administration’s constant stonewalling on releasing the files, but also the huge cuts to health care in his “One Big Beautiful Bill,” his policies on the affordability crisis and his support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
Trump and Greene’s relationship spectacularly imploded after Congress passed a bill mandating the Justice Department release all the Epstein files, some millions of pages of documents, and Trump was forced to sign the bill into law.
After Trump began threatening to “primary” Greene, she announced in late November she would resign from office in early January 2026, which she did.
