US President Donald Trump has distanced himself from a once-loyal supporter, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, branding her as 'Wacky Marjorie'. This move comes after months of tension between the two, with Greene reportedly moderating her stance on several key issues.
Trump's decision appears to have been finalised by his recent criticism of Greene's views, which he described as "Far Left". He also questioned why she doesn't return his phone calls. According to sources close to Greene, Trump had become increasingly frustrated due to her efforts to release Jeffrey Epstein files, a move that Greene claimed "sent him over the edge".
In response, Greene accused Trump of attacking her and lying about her. She added a screenshot of a text message she had sent the president earlier in the day, claiming it was what prompted his outburst.
This latest development comes as tensions within the Republican party have grown in recent weeks. Following several off-cycle elections that saw voters flock to Democrats over concerns about living costs, some observers have noted a shift towards more moderate views among Republicans.
Greene's changing stance has raised eyebrows, with some commentators suggesting she may be drifting towards the Democratic party. However, Greene herself denies any affiliation with the Democrats, stating that she thinks both parties have failed to meet the needs of their constituents.
Trump's decision to distance himself from Greene marks a significant shift in his relationship with her. Greene was once a stalwart supporter of Trump and MAGA world, but it appears that her views have grown increasingly at odds with his own stance on various issues.
