Trump launches speech Saturday morning against Marjorie Taylor Greene after her resignation
President Donald Trump reacted Saturday to the sudden resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a week after he publicly withdrew support from the former MAGA ally.
Greene announced her official departure from Congress in a video on Friday. Trump first reacted to his departure by phone later that night, telling ABC News White House correspondent Rachel Scott: “I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great.” The president began posting on social media earlier than usual on Saturday, doubling down on his joy.
“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, due to FALLING poll numbers and not wanting to face a heavily Trump-backed primary challenger (where she would have no chance of winning!), has decided to call it quits,’” he wrote on Truth Social at 6:45 am.

Greene has accused the president of turning against her over her continued calls for the release of classified documents related to late sex trafficker and Trump friend Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, he accused her of going to the “far left” and claimed that she calls him out too much.
“For some reason, mainly because I refused to return her endless barrage of phone calls, Marjorie became BAD,” he wrote in his Saturday speech.
He also targeted two Kentucky Republicans, Rep. Thomas Massie and Sen. Rand Paul. Massie filed the discharge petition to force a vote on the release of Epstein’s files, while Paul said he was “on the side of transparency” on the matter.
Greene’s “relationship with the WORST Republican congressman in decades, Tom Massie of Kentucky, also known as Rand Paul Jr. because he votes against the GOP (and really good legislation!), did not help her,” Trump wrote.
The Georgia congresswoman had broken with Trump not only over his dismissal of Epstein’s “hoax,” but also over his handling of the recent government shutdown and lack of a Republican plan to help people who are losing subsidies pay for health insurance policies.
Trump wrote last week that he would endorse a rival against him in the midterm elections.
“For some reason, mainly because I refused to return her endless barrage of phone calls, Marjorie became BAD,” he wrote on Saturday. “However, I will always appreciate Marjorie and thank her for her service to our country! President DJT.”
Greene argued in a statement Friday that Trump has abandoned the American people.
She wrote: “If I am sidelined by MAGA Inc and replaced by neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, the military industrial complex, foreign leaders, and the class of elite donors who can’t even relate to real Americans, then many everyday Americans have been sidelined and replaced as well.”
