President Donald Trump has publicly withdrawn his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, describing her as “wacky” and accusing her of straying too far left, while signaling support for a primary challenger in her Georgia district. The move has stirred shockwaves through the MAGA movement and underscores growing tensions within the Republican Party’s right wing.
Greene, a longtime Trump ally, responded defiantly in an online post: “I don’t worship or serve Trump. My agenda is America First and I stand by my calls to release the Epstein files.” She framed the split as a clash over priorities rather than personal animosity, asserting her independence while maintaining her loyal base of supporters who admire her combative style.
President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today. Apparently this is what sent him over the edge.
The Epstein files.
And of course he’s coming after me hard to make an example to scare all the other… pic.twitter.com/EcUzaohZZs

Political analysts say the rift highlights shifting dynamics within the MAGA faction. Trump’s endorsement, long considered a golden ticket in Republican primaries, no longer guarantees loyalty or victory. Greene’s strong personal following may help her withstand the challenge, but the loss of Trump’s backing could embolden other candidates and force voters to weigh loyalty to the former president against alignment with individual policy priorities.
The feud also reflects ideological tensions within the MAGA movement, including debates over the party’s messaging, strategy, and policy focus. Greene has pushed for aggressive disclosure of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and amplified America-First messaging, positioning herself as both independent and provocatively vocal. Meanwhile, Trump is seen as consolidating his influence by selectively endorsing candidates who he perceives as most aligned with his evolving agenda.
Observers note that this split could foreshadow broader factional conflicts ahead of the 2026 midterms, particularly as Trump maneuvers to maintain his political brand while the party’s base diversifies in priorities and personalities. Analysts are watching closely to see whether this public clash will lead to long-term fragmentation or a recalibration of power within the GOP’s right flank.
The continued Trump-Greene divide offers a rare, high-profile glimpse into the internal battles shaping contemporary Republican politics and the ongoing struggle over the MAGA movement’s identity.
