President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene escalated their feud over the weekend after the Georgia Republican criticized the president and the administration over a range of issues, including their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Trump even withdrew his support for Greene and said he would support a rival in the primary.
“Lightweight Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Brown (Green grass turns brown when it starts to rot!) betrayed the entire Republican Party when she turned left,” Trump said in a social media post Saturday morning as part of an online exchange with Greene.

Greene said Saturday in an X post that she had received death threats.
“As a Republican, who votes overwhelmingly for President Trump’s bills and agenda, his aggression against me, which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), this is completely shocking to everyone,” he said.
The conflict began this week after Greene questioned in an NBC News interview whether Trump was focused on domestic issues.
“No one cares about foreign countries. No one cares about the endless number of foreign leaders who come to the White House every week,” he said in the interview.
On Friday, Trump responded to her words, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that “she’s a very different figure” and that he was no longer “a fanatic.”

“Something happened to him in the last month or two and he changed. I think politically his constituents are not going to be happy,” he said. “But when she says, ‘Don’t go abroad.’ If I didn’t go abroad, we could be in a war with China right now.”

Trump added that he would consider endorsing a rival in the primary and in a social media post later that night withdrew his endorsement of the congresswoman.
He wrote: “All I see ‘Wacky’ Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN.”
“I understand that wonderful, conservative people are thinking about electing Marjorie in the primary in her district in Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics, and if the right person comes forward, they will have my full and unwavering support,” the president added.

Greene responded to Trump on Friday night in an X post, maintaining that the president was upset with her after she texted him about the ongoing Epstein investigation.
“And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example and scare all the other Republicans before the next few weeks they vote to release the Epstein files,” he said. “It’s really surprising how hard he is fighting to keep Epstein’s files from coming to light and for it to really get to this level.”
“I never thought fighting to make Epstein’s files public, standing up for women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the network of rich and powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are,” Greene said in an X post Saturday morning. “And it really speaks for itself.”
The president, who spent Saturday morning golfing in Florida, slammed Greene in a social media post, arguing that she “became the RINO we all know she always was. Just another fake politician.”
