President Trump offered his first reactions to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Friday resignation announcement, telling ABC News later that day, "I think it's great news for the country." He went on to say that "it doesn't matter" that the congresswoman, once a staunch ally, hadn't given him a heads-up, adding, "I think she should be happy." On Saturday, he continued his goodbyes on Truth Social, where he wasn't as subdued in his take on "Marjorie Traitor Brown." "For some reason, primarily that I refused to return her never ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD," the president wrote. "Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country!"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, a once-loyal supporter of President Trump who has become a critic, said Friday she's resigning from Congress in January. Greene, in a more than 10-minute video posted online, explained her decision and said she's "always been despised in Washington, DC, and just never fit in." Greene's resignation followed a public fallout with Trump in recent months, reports the AP, as the congresswoman criticized him for his stance on files related to Jeffrey Epstein, along with foreign policy and health care.
Trump branded her a "traitor" and "wacky" and said he'd endorse a challenger against her when she ran for reelection next year.
Greene said her last day would be Jan. 5. The White House didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment Friday night. Greene had been closely tied to the Republican president since she launched her political career in 2020. In her video, she underscored her longtime loyalty to Trump except on a few issues, and said it was "unfair and wrong" that he attacked her for disagreeing. "Loyalty should be a two-way street and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interest, because our job title is literally 'representative,'" she said.
Greene swept to office at the forefront of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement and swiftly became a lightning rod on Capitol Hill for her often beyond-mainstream views. As she embraced the QAnon conspiracy theory and appeared with white supremacists, Greene was opposed by party leaders but welcomed by Trump. He called her "a real WINNER!" Yet over time she proved a deft legislator, having aligned herself with then-GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, who'd go on to become House speaker. She was a trusted voice on the right flank, until McCarthy was ousted in 2023.
