A surprising public feud has erupted between the U.S. President Donald Trump and Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, two political figures long viewed as close allies within the conservative movement. The clash, which unfolded across multiple social media posts over the weekend, centers on the upcoming release of additional documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case – but quickly shifted into a series of personal attacks.
The disagreement began when Greene urged Trump to openly support a House vote scheduled next week that would decide whether a new batch of Epstein-related files should be made public. Greene framed the release as a matter of full transparency, insisting that “every remaining detail should be available to the American people.” Her statement was widely interpreted as a direct challenge to Trump’s reluctance to take a public position on the matter.
Trump’s response escalated the situation. Instead of addressing the request, he criticized Greene personally in a series of sharply worded posts, questioning her political judgment and dismissing her comments as “grandstanding.” He also made remarks about her personality and decision-making, signaling that the disagreement had moved beyond policy differences.
Greene swiftly fired back, accusing Trump of sidestepping an issue that many lawmakers – both conservative and liberal – believe demands openness. She argued that withholding the files only fuels speculation and undermines trust. Her comments intensified the already heated online exchanges between supporters of both figures.
Political observers say the dispute highlights growing tensions within the GOP as the party’s most vocal personalities attempt to influence the direction of the conservative movement ahead of the next election cycle. While Trump remains the dominant figure among Republican voters, Greene’s rising profile and hardline positions have made her a significant force in shaping the narrative on transparency and accountability.
Whether the feud will fade or deepen remains uncertain, but the clash marks one of the clearest public splits between two figures once seen as united on nearly every issue.
