Trump blasts 'traitor' Marjorie Taylor Greene in scathing rant after explosive 60 Minutes interview
It's safe to say that Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene won't be on each other's Christmas card lists this year.
Once close allies, Trump brutally (and publicly) cut ties with the Georgia representative last month.
"I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of 'Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia," he penned on Truth Social.
Trump went on: "All I see 'Wacky' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!)."

He further branded her as a 'ranting lunatic', and a few days later, Greene announced that she was quitting Congress.
Now Greene has sat down with CBS for an interview on 60 Minutes — and no stone was left unturned by 83-year-old Lesley Stahl.
In one part of their discussions, Stahl asked Greene what Republicans say about the president behind his back.
"I think they're terrified to step out of line and get nasty Truth Social posts about them," Greene said about her fellow politicians.
She went on: "I've watched a lot of my colleagues go from making fun of [Trump], making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him. When he won the primary in 2024, they all decided to start kissing his a*s and putting on a MAGA hat for the first time."
The tell-all interview was aired yesterday (December 7), and the president has now reacted to Greene's remarks.
Taking to Truth Social — as he usually does — Trump penned: "The only reason Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!).
"Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD - She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person."
He added that Greene 'made many really stupid statements' and insisted that she had a low IQ.
Elsewhere, Trump hit out at Paramount Skydance for allowing the CBS interview to air.
UNILAD has approached Greene for comment.
