Marjorie Taylor Greene Labels Trump ‘Trojan Horse’ After President Attacks Ex-MAGA Allies
Former Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called President Donald Trump a "neocon puppet for Israel... and his dear friends in the Epstein class" in a lengthy response to the latest attack from Trump in which he slammed her, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as "LOSERS."
Greene, once one of Trump's fiercest and most loyal protectors, said she wishes she'd "never supported him" and stood by both Massie and Carlson, propping up the latter as a possible presidential candidate who is "beloved by many Americans.”
She attacked Trump’s "demeanor, name calling, absurd and reckless rhetoric" and said he is "no different than an internet troll or one of the many millions of bots that say awful horrible things."
Her response comes after Trump, at 10:30 p.m. Friday, went on Truth Social to attack Carlson as "totally irrelevant," called MTG a "highly neurotic young woman" and said Massie is "a real JERK."
The latest attack on the trio, all of whom were once united behind Trump, comes as the MAGA rift continues to deepen while his former supporters coalesce around a post-Trump, “America First” vision and criticize the president for what they see as betrayal of his promises.
"In the past, I supported him because of the policies he professed to support and passionately campaigned on, but now as president he’s been revealed to be the Trojan horse who enforces many of the policies he claimed to be against," Greene said. "I’m sorry I didn’t see it earlier and wish I had never supported him."
Tensions between Trump and key MAGA figures—like Megyn Kelly, Joe Kent and Candace Owens—have escalated sharply over the last year. The handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, war in Iran, “America First” policies and broader cost of living crisis has largely driven the rift, and agenda reversals have angered prominent allies including Greene, Carlson, Massie, Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon, some of whom have openly accused the administration of orchestrating political cover-ups and failing on transparency promises. And as figures move away from him, Trump has gone on the attack, most recently lashing out to accuse them of abandoning or betraying MAGA. The Carlson-Greene-Massie alliance has fueled speculation about a new political party or movement, with Greene, Massie and Kent, a former Trump official, reportedly trying to persuade Carlson to run for president in 2028.
