President Trump calls Marjorie Taylor Greene resignation ‘great news for the country’

Now while I'm not going to say this comes as a shock to us here at PSNews but as President Trump said ‘I think she should be happy’ while Democratic colleague praises her for stance on Epstein files she has been on the fall out since she backed Kevin McCarthy for speaker when others like Matt Gaetz, and Trump wanted him out for Mike Johnson who's been much better.

Marjorie Taylor Greene who we know as the main enemy of others in congress over the years like AOC, and members of the Fraud Squad. The Republican Georgia congresswoman now who had a dramatic blow-up with Donald Trump despite being his longtime ally, announced on Friday she would be resigning.

Which the president called “great news” Greene followed with “Loyalty should be a two-way street,” she said in a lengthy resignation statement shared on social media, adding that it was “unfair and wrong” that Trump turned on her for disagreeing with him. That isn't the only reason but she did push on the Epstein files, and other things which she had no business getting involved in.

When he was asked if Greene had informed him, Trump said “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know, but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy.” Greene had said last week she was the subject of “a hotbed of threats” after Trump withdrew his support for and endorsement of her. The move sent shockwaves through US politics. The Republican political strategist Shermichael Singleton called it “a big shocker”. “Maybe she’s looking at future plans,” Singleton told CNN. Greene may have an ally in Democratic congressman Ro Khanna, who worked with her to pass the bill to release the files related to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.

“Get ready Georgia! Teachers, farmers, veterans, EVERYONE, I need your support.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia’s biggest newspaper, in its coverage of her resignation said that “Her split with Trump made her an even bigger national sensation.” This is not why she was elected to congress, and this b/s issue she meddled in made her annoying to not just Trump but most in the MAGA movement who like myself used to praise her but like most who get power it went to her head a bit much, and well the President who last week announced he was withdrawing his support of Greene, appeared to celebrate her resignation again by saying that “I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great.”

Greene reiterated those threats in her statement, saying she had faced “never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me, that most people could never withstand even for a day”. Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat, posted on social media: “I’m going to be honest … I didn’t see this coming but the threats that come with being on the opposite side of Trump ARE REAL!”

“MTG is likely to be a formidable 2028 candidate,” Khanna told NBC News. “Her stances on Epstein, on regulating AI, and anti-war are more in touch with MAGA voters than JD Vance.” Maga influencer Steve Bannon told the New York Times “the House is not big enough” for Greene’s ambitions or personality. “She had her committee assignments pulled by Pelosi in her first term and rose to be a national figure. We haven’t seen or heard the last of M.T.G,” he wrote in a text message. Some observers couldn’t help but point out the strange turn of events a one-time Trump ally resigning hours after an Oval Office meeting in which Trump heaped praise on Zohran Mamdani, the 34-year-old democratic socialist mayor-elect of New York City whom he had called a “100% Communist Lunatic”.

“Trump glazed Mamdani so hard Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress,” Malcolm Kenyatta, a Democratic National Committee vice chair, wrote on X. Salleigh Grubbs, who used to chair the party in Cobb County which overlaps with Greene’s 14th congressional district in north-west Georgia, said she was “heartbroken”... “MTG put it all on the line time after time. She fought for her district and put America First. What more could anyone have wanted?” she wrote on X. Shawn Harris, a Georgia Democrat running for Congress in Greene’s solidly Republican district, sought to rally supporters in response to the announcement.

“As you’ve likely heard, Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced her resignation effective January 5, 2026,” Harris said in a post on social media on Friday. The problem with this is the people have a short span memory, and she wasn't universally loved as it was. She moving on like this is both good, and bad for the party bad because it's one less seat going into the new year for the GOP. But it's also good because it's one person less in the GOP who has recently been trying to issue wars against TRUMP.

MTG also isn't a poor person who went and became what she did... She has money, and yes while she used a lot of her own money she's a wealthy person, and she did this now to hurt the administration, and the party. Not like she needs the money.
