President Donald Trump lashed out at Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after the Republican lawmaker revealed she will resign from the House of Representatives in January.
Greene announced the surprise move on Friday evening, eliciting both joy and confusion in the MAGA world. The move comes amid Greene’s growing feud with Trump, fueled by their differences on several issues, including the Jeffrey Epstein files.
“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, because of PLUMMETING Poll Numbers, and not wanting to face a Primary Challenger with a strong Trump Endorsement (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it ‘quits,’” Trump wrote Saturday morning on Truth Social.
In her resignation announcement, Greene said she loves her family “way too much” and doesn’t want her district in Georgia to “have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for.”
Earlier Friday, Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met at the White House. The two were surprisingly friendly, with Trump even predicting that Mamdani will be a “really great mayor” in his hometown.
This comes after months of animosity between the two men, with Trump repeatedly calling Mamdani a “communist,” and the Mayor-elect calling the president a “despot” and a “fascist.”
