Trump announced late Friday on Truth Social that he was revoking his endorsement of Greene, saying her record had devolved into “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN.” The move marks a dramatic rupture between the president and one of his most vocal allies — a lawmaker who once wore a MAGA hat during a State of the Union address and championed Trump’s agenda through multiple administrations.

In escalating posts, Trump labeled Greene “a lunatic” and “a political lightweight,” claiming Georgia Republicans had grown “tired of her antics” and that he would fully support a primary challenger next year.

A Fallout Fueled by Epstein Files Tensions

Greene responded publicly by sharing text messages she said she had sent to Trump regarding the Epstein case — messages she claimed “set him off.” She accused the president of attempting to intimidate other Republicans before next week’s House vote on whether the Justice Department must release all federal Epstein records.

“It’s shocking how hard he is fighting to stop the release of the Epstein files and how he got to this point,” she wrote on X, adding that ordinary Americans wished he fought “half as hard” for their economic struggles as he did to bury a scandal linked to him.

The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, backed by Greene and three other Republicans, forced House leadership to bring the matter to a vote. If passed, it would require disclosure of flight logs, travel manifests, investigative materials, and all records referencing Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Growing Scrutiny Over Trump’s Own Links to Epstein

The political clash intensified this week after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released newly surfaced emails. In one message, Epstein told Maxwell he had spent “hours” with an alleged victim at Trump’s residence — a claim the White House dismissed as proving “nothing.”

Trump has repeatedly rejected allegations tying him to Epstein, calling them a “hoax” pushed by Democrats. He has urged supporters to “move on” from the matter, even as pressure mounts from within his own conservative base for full transparency.

Greene called Trump’s stance a “major miscalculation,” insisting she does not believe he has anything to hide but arguing the public deserves to see “all the files, without exception.”

A Fracturing MAGA Coalition Ahead of Key Elections

The feud comes at a precarious political moment for Republicans following a disappointing midterm cycle in which Democrats swept key battleground races. The internal conflict has spread beyond Greene: Trump also attacked Rep. Thomas Massie, another conservative who supports releasing the Epstein documents, and recently urged a Navy veteran to run against him in next year’s primary.

Trump argued he cannot “take calls every day from an angry maniac” given the demands of his office and claimed Greene’s Senate and gubernatorial ambitions had faded due to poor poll numbers.

“This is the end of her political future,” he wrote, promising “full and unwavering support” for a more “serious conservative” candidate in her district.

What Comes Next?

The House is expected to vote Tuesday on compelling the release of all federal Epstein records — a rare bipartisan moment now overshadowed by one of the most significant public ruptures inside the MAGA movement since Trump’s rise to power.

Whether the clash weakens Trump’s influence or further isolates Greene remains unclear. What is certain is that next week’s vote will test both political wills — and could reshape Republican dynamics heading into the 2026 primaries.
