MTG claims fallout with Trump over Epstein files ‘shattered’ her belief in broader MAGA movement
Marjorie Taylor Greene: “To actually be asked by the president to back off and not help [Epstein survivors] — that’s when MAGA died. That’s when the entire thing shattered for me.

WASHINGTON, DC: Marjorie Taylor Greene has intensified her criticism of Donald Trump, saying her faith in the MAGA movement was shaken following disagreements over the handling of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a series of public remarks, Greene alleged that she was asked by Trump to step back from efforts related to individuals connected to Epstein. She described that moment as a breaking point, stating it “shattered” her belief in the broader MAGA movement.

Greene further claimed that a weeks-long government shutdown was tied to blocking a House vote on an Epstein-related resolution. However, there has been no official confirmation supporting this claim, and details surrounding the alleged resolution remain unclear.
Greene also pushed back against narratives dismissing concerns around Epstein as politically motivated, insisting that the issue should not be minimized or ignored. Her comments reflect ongoing frustration among some lawmakers and activists who have called for greater transparency in the case and its aftermath.
‘Trump disappointment’ signals growing divide
Greene did not hold back in expressing her dissatisfaction with Trump, coining the phrase “Trump Disappointment Syndrome” to describe her current stance. “I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome,” she said, drawing a contrast with a term often used by Trump allies to criticize opponents.
She also criticized the lack of accountability in matters connected to Epstein, arguing that no significant action has been taken against those involved. While Greene did not provide new evidence, her remarks have added fuel to ongoing political debates surrounding transparency, justice, and leadership responsibility.
Greene says Iran war is ‘not really terminated’
Earlier, Greene called out Trump after he informed Congress that the Iran war has been “terminated,” arguing that the conflict is far from over.
In a detailed post on X, she disputed Trump’s claim, saying the situation on the ground does not reflect an actual end to hostilities. Her remarks come amid ongoing scrutiny over the administration’s handling of military actions involving Iran.
Trump just sent a letter to Congress saying the war in Iran is “terminated” because today marks 60 days and in order for the President to have the authority to continue, the Constitution requires a vote from Congress.

But the war is not really terminated.
Trump is just…
Greene argued that Trump’s declaration was tied to procedural requirements under federal law rather than a genuine conclusion to the conflict.
“Trump just sent a letter to Congress saying the war in Iran is ‘terminated’ because today marks 60 days and in order for the President to have the authority to continue, the Constitution requires a vote from Congress,” she wrote.
She further alleged that the move was aimed at bypassing congressional oversight. “Trump is just restarting the clock to avoid a vote from Congress that may limit his power to wage a war on Iran, and the war is absolutely not over just because there has been a ceasefire,” Greene added.
The lawmaker also claimed that military action could resume soon, stating, “It never ended. This is unconstitutional and Congress should reclaim its constitutional authority.
