In a shocking move, former President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he is withdrawing his support for Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her a "lunatic" and accusing her of going to the left.
The move comes after months of tension between the two, with Greene taking positions at odds with the White House and fellow Republicans. The US leader claimed that Greene's actions had become too extreme, citing her criticism of the Republican leadership during the recent federal government shutdown as a prime example.
Trump also took aim at Greene's vocal campaign for transparency in relation to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, stating that her efforts "sent him over the edge." However, it seems that Trump was actually trying to silence her on this issue, and Greene has since fired back, claiming that the president is trying to make an example out of her.
Greene had been a loyal ally of Trump's throughout his presidency, but their relationship appears to have reached a breaking point. The US leader claimed that Greene's actions had become too much for him to handle, stating that he couldn't return her phone calls every day.
The decision by Trump to distance himself from Greene has sent shockwaves through the Republican party, with some lawmakers and pundits expressing surprise at the move. However, others have welcomed the news, saying that it is long overdue given Greene's erratic behavior.
As the situation continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the schism between Trump and Greene is more than just a disagreement on policy - it is a clash of personalities and ideologies. The question now is what this means for the future of the Republican party, and whether Greene can recover from this latest blow.

! Trump's sudden u-turn on Marjorie Taylor Greene has got everyone talking, and tbh I think it's about time someone called her out for her extremist views 
. I've been following Greene's antics for a while now, and let's be real, she can come across as super unpredictable 
. It's weird to see Trump trying to distance himself from her too - was he just trying to silence her on that Epstein thing? 
either way, this whole situation has got me curious about what's going down in the Republican party 
. I'm definitely keeping an eye on how this plays out - it could be interesting to see if Greene can bounce back from this 
I'm so sad to hear that Marjorie Taylor Greene is going through this tough time again... being "silenced" by someone she trusted seems really painful 
. It's like she was just trying to shine a light on some important issues, but now it feels like her voice is being taken away from her 
. I get why people might say that her behavior has been erratic, but it sounds like Trump is just trying to control the narrative and maybe even punish her for speaking out against him 
. The Republican party needs to figure out what they want to stand for if they're going to move forward without Greene's influence 
.
. Seriously though, it's kinda funny that he's playing the victim now – "sent me over the edge" with his criticism of Epstein? 
Give me a break, Donny. The real question is what this means for Greene's career and if she'll be able to regain her footing in the party. I mean, you can't just distance yourself from someone and expect them to magically become less lunatic... or can you? 
. This whole thing is so dramatic and messy. I'm like, what even happened with these two? Greene was supposed to be his loyal sidekick, but it looks like Trump was getting tired of all the drama she brought 
. The Republicans need to figure out how to deal with this situation ASAP, because it's going to affect their party big time 
it's like, finally someone calls her out for being a lunatic, you know? But at the same time, I feel bad for Greene, she seems really passionate about some of these issues and it's cool that she's not afraid to speak up. The way Trump is trying to silence her though, that's just low 
. He's essentially trying to keep her under control without directly saying so 
. But let's be real, this is also a chance for him to cover his own backside 
. The question now is how will the Republican party recover from this split? Will they find a way to bring Greene back into the fold 
or will she continue to fly solo 
? One thing for sure, it's going to be interesting to watch how this plays out 
.
Did you see that chart about Marjorie Taylor Greene's Twitter followers? 
They went from 2.5M to 1.8M in one week alone! 
Anyway, I just want to throw some data at ya - did you know that 70% of Republicans think Greene's actions have been "too extreme" for the party? 
But I think it's clear that her erratic behavior has made her toxic to work with. [diagram of a broken chain] It's time for her to step up and show some more moderate stuff.
Like, what even happens next? Do we see Greene try to regain her footing or does she get further discredited?
and now she's firing back 
. Anywayz, this whole thing is gonna be super interesting to watch 
... will Greene bounce back or is she donezo 
. I mean, Trump's always been a master of creating controversy and drama, so it's no wonder his allies are scrambling to distance themselves from him. But at the same time, Greene's actions have been pretty erratic lately, so maybe Trump was right to, you know, take her down a peg 
. Will Greene bounce back, or will she be finished off for good? Only time will tell 
!
. I mean, come on, criticizing Epstein? That's some wild stuff 
.
