In an unexpected turn of events, President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to see Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) return to the political arena. This revelation came on Saturday, following a series of public disagreements that culminated in Greene's resignation from Congress, which she announced the previous day.
Rep. Greene's departure from her congressional role early in 2026 took both President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) by surprise. In a 10-minute video statement, Greene labeled the President as "hateful" for withdrawing his support and articulated her dissatisfaction with the political dynamics in Washington. She highlighted the string of death threats aimed at her and her family, particularly concerning the Epstein files, as a driving force behind her decision. A source close to Greene emphasized her anticipation for a time when she could engage in public life without facing harassment.
President Trump, in a brief interview with NBC News, showcased an openness to repairing the relationship with Greene. "I can patch up differences with anyone," he stated, acknowledging the challenges ahead for Greene but expressing a wish to see her make a political comeback. Despite their recent conflict, he reminisced about Greene's support during her time in Congress, referring to her as "one of my biggest allies in Congress."
The President's remarks contrasted sharply with a fiery post he shared on Truth Social, where he described Greene as a "raging lunatic" and attributed their falling out to her association with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and disagreements over the handling of the Epstein files. Trump also hinted that Greene's plummeting poll numbers might have influenced her decision to step down.
Greene, in her resignation announcement, criticized the toxic environment of Washington and condemned her party for its failure to pass significant legislation despite having control over the presidency and both houses of Congress in 2025. She lamented the eight-week shutdown that paralyzed the legislature and the onset of campaign season that, in her view, strips politicians of their courage.
Despite the acrimonious exchanges, President Trump expressed his gratitude for Greene's contributions and suggested that their relationship could be mended. "Nevertheless, I will always appreciate Marjorie, and thank her for her service to our Country! President DJT," he concluded in his statement.
In the wake of Greene's resignation, her supporters have rallied around her, praising her for her boldness and willingness to uphold her beliefs. Debbie Dyer, a resident of New York, commended Greene for her courage and straight talk. Meanwhile, social media commentators like Mario Nawfal have framed Greene's resignation as a strategic move, suggesting that she is playing a long-term political game.
The unfolding drama between President Trump and Rep. Greene marks a significant chapter in their political narrative. Despite the tension, the President's recent comments leave the door open for Greene's potential return to politics, signaling that the final chapter of the Trump-Greene saga may yet be unwritten.
