Hold onto your hats, folks—Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has just dropped a political bombshell by announcing her resignation from Congress, effective January 5, 2026, the Daily Mail reported.
In a stunning turn of events, Greene’s decision has rocked the Republican establishment, caught President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson off guard, and sparked a fiery public feud that now seems to hint at a possible mending of fences.
Last week, tensions flared as Greene took to social media platform X, claiming that aggressive rhetoric, fueled by none other than Trump himself, had led to a wave of death threats against her and her children.
On Friday, in a 10-minute video, Greene revealed her plans to step down, citing frustration with Washington’s political machine and a personal fallout with Trump over issues like the Epstein files.
According to a source close to her, no one—not even Trump or Johnson—had a clue about her decision until the video went live, with the insider noting, “Everyone in the world found out at the same time” (NBC).
Greene didn’t hold back in the video, accusing Trump of being “hateful” for pulling his endorsement, while Trump fired back, branding her a “raging lunatic” in retaliation (NBC).
The clash escalated as Greene pointed to Trump’s harsh words as the catalyst for venomous attacks from what she called his “radical internet trolls,” some of whom she alleged were paid to target her.
She also shared that private security firms had warned her about her safety, linking the threats to rhetoric she believes Trump has encouraged, adding a dark layer to their public spat.
Sources familiar with her decision emphasized that her exit wasn’t about fearing a primary loss—Greene was confident she could win re-election—but rather the toll of relentless death threats against her family (NBC).
Trump’s response was a rollercoaster, starting with a blistering Truth Social post where he dubbed her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown” and claimed she was fleeing due to “plummeting poll numbers.”
Yet, in a surprising twist during an ABC News call, Trump shifted gears, saying, “I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,” before adding a note of appreciation for her past service.
Even more eyebrow-raising, Trump later told NBC, “It’s not going to be easy for her [Greene] to return to politics, but I’d love to see it,” hinting at a door left ajar for reconciliation.
Throughout this drama, Greene has maintained her loyalty to Trump’s broader cause, even while slamming the Republican Party’s inaction in 2025.
She pointed to a legislative shutdown and lack of courage as major disappointments, a frustration many conservatives might quietly share.
Her supporters remain unshaken, with one, Debbie Dyer, 60, telling NBC News, “She has a lot of courage and tells it like it is,” a sentiment echoing the steadfast base Greene has built despite Washington’s disdain.
