President Trump fires back at Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "traitor" as she quits Congress. In a scathing response on Truth Social, the former president thanked Greene for her "service to our country", but also made it clear that their relationship had soured in recent months.
It's come to light that Greene's aggressive support of Trump and his policies had cooled off over issues including foreign policy and government shutdowns. The fact that she urged for the full release of Jeffrey Epstein files, which led to a measure being passed by Congress to make such documents public, was reportedly not enough for the president to back her.
However, after criticism from both sides, Trump abandoned his earlier resistance to having Congress vote on releasing Justice Department materials related to Epstein. Greene had campaigned hard for this move, but ultimately lost out on the president's support and endorsement in recent weeks.
In a lengthy resignation message posted online, Greene stated that she would not run again next year due to the hurtful primary battles with Trump, saying "Loyalty should be a two-way street". Her daughter, Lauren, took to social media praising her mother's unwavering dedication to America First and American Only.
Fellow Republican Representative Thomas Massie expressed sadness for the country but happiness for Greene, calling her what he believed every representative should be - honest and true to their constituents.
With Greene confirming that she'll lastly take office on January 5th, many are wondering what comes next in this volatile chapter of American politics.

Trump's response towards Marjorie Taylor Greene is pretty wild, don't think the guy has any chill anymore 
. I feel bad for Greene, she was just trying to do her job and bring up some important issues, but Trump's gotta go and call her a traitor 
. And what's with the mixed signals? One minute he's thanking her for her service, next he's saying their relationship is toxic 
. Guess that campaign promise of "America First" ain't as clear-cut as we thought 
. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how Greene does without Trump's backing, hope she stays true to herself and her constituents 
.
I just can't believe how fast things changed with Greene's departure... back in my day we had real politicians who stuck to their guns without abandoning ship like that. I mean I get it, personal differences happen but a "traitor" label? That's some bitter juice right there 
️. And what's up with Trump's response? All love and thanks when she quits... meanwhile he's been ghosting her all this time 
. It's just weird how quickly these politicians turn on each other 
. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the whole Epstein thing... it seems like a lot of noise for not that much gain 
. Anyways, here's to new beginnings... but also here's to more drama in politics 
. What do you guys think? Shouldn't loyalty be a two-way street like Greene said? I don't really get why she stuck it out for as long as she did, but hey, she's still gonna represent Kentucky from January 5th 
.
Trump and Greene, always causing drama and chaos wherever they go... I mean, who needs that kind of stress in their lives? 
It's like they can't even get along, no matter how much they both claim to care about America ( newsflash, it's not just about you guys 
. Can we just have some peace and quiet in politics for once? 
. It's not like it was about party loyalty or anything, but Trump can't seem to admit when he's wrong... and that's what's really hurting the country 
. On the other hand, I'm glad Greene is taking a stand and prioritizing her own values - we need more reps like her who aren't afraid to speak truth to power 
. And what even is with this whole Epstein thing? It's like they're more concerned with their image than actual justice for the victims 
. She stuck by Trump no matter what, and it looks like she got burned 
... and we're all just trying to figure out where the calm will come from 
... meanwhile, on Truth Social, Trump's response was seen by over 3 million people in the first hour 
... and let me tell you, that "traitor" label is gonna cost him some serious points on the polls 
... what's really interesting is how her stance on Epstein files affected Trump's views... I mean, we're talking about a 70% approval rating for the whole thing just last month 
... this all just shows how fluid and unpredictable American politics can be 
Greene thought she was on Trump's good side, but really she was just playing both sides. And now she's all alone, crying about being hurt... guess what? Life's not always fair, and sometimes you have to take the hit. 
. Her whole "Loyalty should be a two-way street" line does sound kinda rich coming from someone who's been kinda erratic in their support for other people 
.
On the other hand, I'm glad Greene is standing firm on releasing those Epstein files - transparency is key! 
Maybe this whole thing will lead to more accountability in politics? 
. I think that's so true! We gotta have that kind of honesty in politics 
.
and I think we can all agree with her on that one 
. I mean, who needs the drama and stress when you can just walk away from it all? It's like she said her piece and then said goodbye 
. I don't think Trump was right to call her a "traitor" either - loyalty is indeed a two-way street, and Greene stuck by her guns (or should I say, her America First platform 
). Thomas Massie's praise for her honesty is pretty cool too 
. Maybe now she can focus on serving the people without all the Trump drama 
. It makes me wonder if their relationship had been strained for a while before the whole Epstein thing blew up. And what really took her down, anyway? Was it just one thing or was it like a series of tiny betrayals that added up?
