Overview
- In a Friday night Truth Social post, the president called Greene “Wacky” and a “ranting lunatic,” said she has “gone Far Left,” and vowed “Complete and Unyielding Support” to a suitable primary opponent.
- Greene responded on X that he “attacked me and lied about me,” shared texts she said she sent him, and argued he is trying to deter Republicans before next week’s vote to release Epstein records.
- Greene helped force a House vote on the Epstein files by signing a discharge petition, a move at odds with the president’s push to sideline the issue.
- The rupture follows weeks of Greene criticizing GOP leaders and the White House over a foreign‑policy focus, healthcare costs, and the party’s lack of an alternative to the Affordable Care Act during the shutdown.
- Trump cited discouraging Greene from a statewide run and her media appearances as factors, escalating a feud that could invite a Trump‑backed challenge in Georgia’s deep‑red 14th District ahead of the 2026 midterms.
