President Donald Trump has publicly severed ties with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican and former staunch ally, urging her unseating in next year's midterm election.

The break follows Greene's criticisms of Trump's policies on foreign affairs, tariffs, and the handling of Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump described Greene as having gone "far left" in a lengthy social media post while traveling to Florida on Friday night.

Greene, alongside three other House Republicans including Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, and Thomas Massie, signed a discharge petition with Democrats to force a vote on releasing the full Department of Justice files related to Epstein, the late financier and convicted sex offender.

She accused Trump of focusing less on "America First" priorities and criticized his approach to the Epstein matter.

Trump claimed Greene turned against him after he advised her against running for governor or senator and stated he no longer takes her calls.

He labeled her a "ranting Lunatic" and said voters in her district are tired of her antics, promising full support to a suitable primary challenger.

Escalating Tensions and Safety Allegations

The feud intensified over the weekend with Trump calling Greene a "traitor" and "disgrace" in additional posts.

Greene responded on X, asserting Trump was intimidating Republicans ahead of the Epstein files vote and declared her stance prioritizes the American people over any leader.

On Saturday, she blamed Trump's rhetoric for inciting death threats, noting warnings from private security firms.

Greene wrote that such aggressive attacks have historically led to threats and convictions, and she now understands the fear felt by Epstein's victims.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Trump has denied wrongdoing regarding Epstein, stating they parted ways years before Epstein's first arrest, and dismissed the files controversy as a Democratic hoax.
