It takes a lot for President Trump to cut someone off that he has endorsed previously, but it usually comes down to loyalty for him.

For those who remember, Marjorie Taylor Greene owes her political career to Donald Trump. He supported her when she had no credentials to run for Congress at all, except her loyalty to him. But recently, MTG has been basking in her “strange new respect” that she has been getting from the left – including getting patted on the head like a pet lapdog on “The View,” and interviews on CNN where she praised Nancy Pelosi. This new admiration from the media has even caused her to respond about possibly running for president. But according to President Trump, the rift between them began when he informed her that she had no chance of winning statewide office in Georgia. And her recent shenanigans have annoyed him to the point that he has officially pulled his endorsement, which he announced on Truth Social on Friday night.

President Trump was then asked about the yanking of his endorsement while on Air Force One.

Trump kept going this morning, lumping the congresswoman in with Thomas Massie and declaring her a “RINO,” along with everything else.

Okay, this is top shelf nick-naming. https://t.co/1wSbSr9aJG

Marjorie Taylor Greene, for her part, responded on X, because that is where all the best political debates take place now.

“I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today,” Greene added with screenshots of text messages. “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 Republicans before next week’s vote to release the Epstein files. It’s astonishing really how hard he’s fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level.”

Greene seemed to have shut the door for any future working relationship with President Trump in her post, writing, “I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him.”

“But I don’t worship or serve Donald Trump,” Greene wrote. “I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people.”

She ended that post, as she has with other ones recently, declaring that she is “America First and America Only.” It is left as an exercise to the reader what MTG is implying with that slogan, especially given her statements during her interview with Tucker Carlson regarding Israel and her previous “Jewish space laser” conspiracy theories.

Now, Marjorie Taylor Greene claims that she wants Trump to focus on the economy, not foreign policy. But she is now openly questioning whether the president is actually “America First” if he is so busy talking with foreign leaders.

“We didn’t elect the president to go out there and travel the world and end the foreign wars,” Greene said. “We elected the president to stop sending tax dollars and weapons for the foreign wars — to completely not engage anymore. Watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans.”

“One of the big campaign issues is Americans were fed up with foreign wars,” she added. “It’s like, get us out of this.”

While Trump did promise on the campaign trail to quickly end the wars in Ukraine and the Gaza Strip, the latest national NBC News poll shows Republicans overwhelmingly believe he has lived up to their expectations on foreign policy (82%), including 66% of Republicans who do not identify with the MAGA movement.

But for Greene and others, it’s a matter of priorities; they argue that the economy should be the clear focus.

Greene has escalated her criticism as the foreign visits have continued, saying Trump’s attention abroad is “doing nothing to solve the problems that are really plaguing vulnerable segments of our population, especially young people.”

She has slammed meetings with leaders such as Argentina’s Javier Milei, whom she described as seeking “a bailout,” and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who she said arrived “with his hands out begging for more.”

Now, there is the principle and the practice of what Trump has been doing that MTG is complaining about. Trump campaigned on ending wars, and MTG is rather dense and dumb if she thought that was all talk. Trump’s success in ending foreign conflicts is exactly the international image that he wants – Trump would love to have the legacy of “peacemaker” when he leaves office in three years. And ending these conflicts means that Americans DON’T end up fighting in “foreign wars.” Now, MTG argues that she doesn’t want American dollars supporting other countries. Guess what, Congresswoman – you’re in the House, which has the power of the purse. If you wish to cut off foreign aid, introduce the bill. No one is stopping you. But I would remind the representative from Georgia that we saw what happened when the United States decided to stop “engaging” in Afghanistan and pulled out suddenly and completely from the region under Joe Biden. How has that worked out?

However, MTG is correct that there needs to be a turn toward domestic policy and the economy. The elections in New York City and Seattle – where socialist candidates simply chant “affordability” like it is Beetlejuice, and if you say it enough times, it will magically appear – are a warning shot across the bow for the Republican party as a whole. President Trump has his heart set on his tariff policy fixing everything, but we have reached crushing numbers of national debt and the economy is on squishy footing. The administration has even begun rolling back tariffs in order to provide actual monetary relief on groceries, which should be the indicator that this hasn’t worked and needs to be fixed before the Supreme Court shuts it all down.

Despite her “strange new respect” from the Democrats, Marjorie Taylor Greene needs Donald Trump’s support far more than Trump needs hers. She might be able to hang on to her seat, but if President Trump endorses a primary challenger, it will make MTG’s life that much harder. However, Trump would be wise to heed the sentiment behind MTG’s complaints, if not the congresswoman herself. The president needs to retool his domestic policy to deliver solid economic results for the American people. Without that, the midterms are going to be ugly for Republicans.
