President Donald Trump and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have engaged in a war of words over the weekend following Greene's criticism of the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Greene questioned whether Trump had prioritized domestic affairs during an NBC News interview, suggesting that his focus on foreign leaders' visits to the White House overshadowed domestic issues. Trump responded, stating that Greene "became the RINO that we all know she always was" and announcing he would support a primary challenger in her district if more conservative voters are unhappy with her antics.
In response, Greene claimed Trump was seeking revenge against her for text messaging him about the Epstein investigation, which he has been reluctant to pursue. She stated that Trump is attempting to intimidate Republicans into not releasing the Epstein files during next week's vote. The controversy highlights a growing divide between some Republican lawmakers and their party leaders over issues like transparency and accountability.
Trump also accused Greene of "COMPLAIN[ing] COMPLAIN[ing] COMPLAIN[ing]" in his social media post, but she shot back by saying the president is only upset because he's being forced to release the Epstein files. Greene pointed out that Trump has a history of defending powerful elites and wealthy individuals who have been accused of crimes.
The exchange comes as some Republican lawmakers are pushing for greater transparency around the Epstein investigation, which has raised questions about potential corruption and abuse of power within the Trump administration.

. Trump's just mad because he can't control his own party members right now 
. He's been a total disaster when it comes to handling Epstein, if you ask me. The guy was like, 'oh, I'm above the law' and now we're paying the price for it. And poor Greene is getting roasted by him for trying to stand up for what's right? Come on, Trump! 
.
It's like, if you've got nothing to hide, then why are you so defensive? And btw, Greene is totally hitting the nail on the head with her comments about Trump's history of defending powerful elites... 
This whole thing is just a total mess, but at least it's sparking some much-needed conversation about corruption & power within our government 
! Can't we all just take a deep breath & focus on what really matters? Like, have you seen the state of our mental health lately 
.
.
We need more leaders who actually care about transparency & accountability... not just politicians looking for a win 
. Can we please get back to having a conversation about how to truly support each other's mental well-being instead of tearing each other down? 
. This isn't about being a "RINO" or being a hero, it's about doing what's right for the country. Can't we all just agree on that?
