Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has spoken out after Donald Trump announced he was cutting ties with her.
The pair have been locked in a war of words in recent months, which led to the president taking to Truth Social on Friday (November 14) to issue a brutal statement.
He wrote: “I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of 'Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia.”
Trump continued to claim he did not have time to deal with her and began to talk about his ‘achievements’ since returning to the White House.

The POTUS added: "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!).
“She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”
Trump then stated that if a different Republican runs, they would have his support, concluding that Greene ‘has gone Far Left’.
Greene has since taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, and said she's received threats as a result of the public falling out with the president.
The Congresswoman said she'd been 'with warnings for my safety as a hotbed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world'.
She continued: "As a woman, I take threats from men seriously.
"I now have a small understanding of the fear and pressure the women, who are victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his cabal, must feel.
"As a Republican, who overwhelmingly votes for President Trump's bills and agenda, his aggression against me, which also fuels the venomous nature of his radical internet trolls (many of whom are paid), is completely shocking to everyone."
In a separate tweet, Greene wrote: "President Trump just attacked me and lied about me. I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today. 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.”
