Trump responds to Majorie Taylor Greenes’ claims that her attacks put her in danger
President Donald Trump has dismissed his former staunch supporter, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), and her claims that his criticism has put her in danger.
The fallout between the political couple has escalated in recent months after the Georgia representative redoubled her calls to release more files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Trump administration has faced growing criticism, including from its own MAGA base, for its handling of the Epstein files.
As he boarded Air Force One Sunday night, Trump was asked by reporters if he thought Greene’s life was in danger, to which he asked, “Is her life in danger? Who is that?”
After the reporter repeated that the question was about Greene, he responded: “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene. I don’t think her life is in danger. Frankly, I don’t think anyone cares.”
Greene’s representatives did not immediately respond to News themezone’s request for comment.
Greene said on X Saturday that Trump’s online condemnation of her has unleashed “a breeding ground of threats” that are “being fueled and incited by the most powerful man in the world.”
He also condemned Trump’s “vicious and unwarranted attacks” in a lengthy post on

He called the smear campaign led by the president “a whistle for dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks against me and my family.”
Trump withdrew his support for Greene in a heated Truth Social post on Friday, calling her “crazy” and a “ranting lunatic” while accusing her of having “gone far left.” He also declared her a “traitor” and criticized her as “a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY” in another post on Saturday.
Appearing Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Greene called Trump’s comments “hurtful.”
“The most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely false, is [that] “He called me ‘traitor,'” she said. “And that is extremely wrong, and that is the kind of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger.”
When asked what she thinks caused the war of words between her and the right-wing leader, Greene responded: “Unfortunately, it’s all come down to Epstein’s files, and that’s shocking.”
Noting that he “won’t apologize” for his stance, he added: “I think the country deserves transparency and these files. And I don’t think rich and powerful people should be protected if they’ve done something wrong.”
Greene was one of four House Republicans, including Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Nancy Mace (R-Colo.), who supported a discharge petition from Democrats on the House Oversight Committee to force a vote on the release of documents about Epstein.
