WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump and Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene escalated a remarkable public feud on Saturday, November 15, as both continued trading explosive posts on social media as their long-standing alliance fractured over Greene’s push to release the Epstein files.

The clash erupted on Saturday morning when Trump blasted Greene in a blistering Truth Social post, calling her a “Lightweight Congresswoman” who had “betrayed the entire Republican Party,” mocking her recent appearance on 'The View' and accusing her of turning “RINO.”



Marjorie Taylor Greene says she 'never thought' it would come to this

"Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!), betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned Left, performed poorly on the pathetic View, and became the RINO that we all know she always was," Trump wrote.

"Just another Fake politician, no different than Rand Paul Jr (Thomas Massie), who got caught being a full fledged Republican In Name Only (RINO)!” Trump added.

Minutes before, Greene had responded on X with a lengthy message thanking supporters and framing her fight for the release of the Epstein documents as the cause of Trump’s fury.

"I want to thank everyone who texted and posted and commented support for me, you all are so kind and I appreciate, love, and support you too," she wrote. 

"I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of r***, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are. And it truly speaks for itself. There needs to be a new way forward," she concluded.



In her post, she accused Washington’s “toxic political industrial complex” of pitting Americans against each other. She called for a new “America First, America Only” approach.

“The toxic political industrial complex thrives on ripping us all apart but never delivers anything good for the American people, whom I love. The PIC tells us to hate each other, fundraises off why we have to hate each other, and pits Americans against each other to the point of violence and nearing civil war. This is all so wrong,” she said.

She said one may have differences and differing opinions, but can still love and respect one another.

"We have far more in common than we have apart. I believe in the American people more than I believe in any leader or political party and the American people deserve so much better than how they have been treated by both sides of the aisle," she said. 

"The way forward is America First America Only. And that may be the most dangerous pursuit of all," Greene wrote.

Trump withdraws endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene

Trump on Friday declared he was withdrawing his endorsement of Greene, unleashing a long tirade accusing her of “antics,” going “Far Left,” and seeking higher office despite “polling at 12%.”

He also mocked her claims about trying to reach him, saying, “I can’t take a ranting lunatic’s call every day,” he wrote, adding that conservatives were considering primarying her in Georgia.



Soon after the first post, he followed up with another one-liner, saying, "Marjorie "Traitor" Green is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!"

Greene replied with screenshots of text messages she said she sent earlier, insisting she had not called Trump and accused him of fabricating claims to intimidate Republicans ahead of next week’s vote to release the Epstein files.

“It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out,” Greene wrote. “Most Americans wish he would fight this hard to help the forgotten men and women of America.”

She stressed that while she has long backed Trump, she “does not worship or serve” him, adding, “I worship God… and serve my district GA-14 and the American people.”



Greene, once one of Trump’s staunchest allies, has increasingly broken ranks with Republicans during the government shutdown fight, including on health-care issues and her vocal push to force the release of the Epstein files.
