Donald Trump burned through 88 words tearing into outgoing Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene before awkwardly “thanking” her for her service in a Truth Social post Saturday morning.
“Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown, with her PLUMMETING poll numbers and fear of facing a Primary Challenger backed by me—one she couldn’t possibly beat—has decided to call it quits,” Trump declared.
He then blamed her downfall on her alliance with Rep. Thomas Massie, calling him “the WORST Republican Congressman in decades” and mocking him as “Rand Paul Jr.” for voting against GOP priorities. Trump added that Greene “went BAD” after he stopped responding to what he described as her “never-ending barrage” of phone calls.
Still, he ended his tirade with a begrudging nod: “I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country!”
Greene, 51, announced her shock resignation from Congress Friday night, citing House Republicans’ bleak outlook in the 2026 midterms and her fractured relationship with President Trump. She said she refused to act as a “battered wife” and defend the president from a potential post-midterm impeachment campaign after the president plotted to “destroy” her.
Greene, once Trump’s most ardent and outspoken defender, broke with the GOP on multiple key issues in the months leading up to her resignation. She advocated for releasing the Epstein files while most other House Republicans were publicly against the release. Greene also criticized the GOP for its lack of healthcare ideas during the government shutdown and slammed the Trump administration’s “America Last” focus on foreign affairs over domestic issues.
Greene’s rebellious streak drew the public ire of the president. Trump, 79, signaled he would endorse a primary challenger against Greene last week, and he fired off a slew of derogatory nicknames for Greene that made another appearance in his Saturday morning send-off.
Trump had previously debuted the nicknames “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene” and “Marjorie Taylor Brown” on Truth Social. He felt the need to explain the latter to his followers, writing, “Green grass turns Brown when it begins to ROT!”
It is unclear what poll numbers Trump was referring to when he said Greene’s poll numbers were “plummeting.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported in October that Greene’s base in her congressional district, GA-14, was sticking with her despite her breaks with the Republican Party. NBC News published similar findings on Thursday. There has been no polling pitting Greene against a potential primary opponent.
Trump’s post also suggests Greene’s break with Republicans was because he “never returned her phone calls.” Greene has previously addressed this accusation, saying on Nov. 14 that she “hadn’t called” Trump at all, but did say she was left on read when urging Trump to support the release of the Epstein files.
President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today. Apparently this is what sent him over the edge.

The Epstein files.
And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other… pic.twitter.com/EcUzaohZZs
Trump’s post also takes a shot at Rep. Thomas Massie, the co-sponsor of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Greene supported well before nearly all Republicans in the House of Representatives flipped their stance on the bill.
Since the bill passed Congress, Trump has blasted Massie as a “Republican In Name Only” (“RINO”), going so far as to blast the representative for remarrying after his wife passed away.
