Trump Calls Greene a ‘Traitor’ But Hints at Career Comeback

UPDATE: President Donald Trump has taken a dramatic turn in his stance toward Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), labeling her a “traitor” but later expressing his desire for her political resurgence. This surprising shift follows Greene’s unexpected announcement of her resignation, set for January 5, 2026.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized Greene’s decision to step down, accusing her of abandoning her position due to “plummeting poll numbers” and fear of a primary challenge backed by Trump himself. He stated, “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown… has decided to call it ‘quits.’” Trump also criticized Greene’s alliance with Tom Massie of Kentucky, whom he described as the “WORST Republican Congressman in decades,” further highlighting her struggles within the GOP.

Greene announced her resignation in a heartfelt message, expressing her intention to “go back to the people that I love” and embrace a “new path ahead.” She revealed her last day in office would be January 5, 2026, sparking discussions about her future in politics.

Yet, during a recent phone call with NBC News, Trump softened his tone, suggesting that Greene should “take a little rest” before attempting to revive her career. He acknowledged the challenges she faces, stating, “it’s not going to be easy for her,” but expressed hope for reconciliation, saying, “I can patch up differences with anyone.”

Despite Trump’s criticism, sources close to Greene insist she remains confident in her ability to win her district even without the former president’s endorsement. A person familiar with Greene’s situation revealed that her decision to resign stemmed from ongoing harassment and threats against her and her family, including troubling incidents at restaurants and airports.

Greene’s public break with Trump over significant issues, including his reluctance to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, has led to tensions between the two. Earlier this month, Trump announced he would no longer support her re-election campaign, intensifying speculation about her political future.

With Greene’s resignation looming, the political landscape in Georgia’s 14th district is set for potential upheaval. Observers are left wondering what this means for her legacy and the broader implications for Trump’s influence within the GOP.

As this story develops, all eyes will be on Greene’s next steps and whether she can navigate the turbulent waters of her political career. Stay tuned for further updates.
