Donald Trump has publicly called it quits with one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters, calling Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “‘Wacky’ Marjorie” and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in next year’s midterms “if the right person runs.”

The dismissal of Greene — once the epitome of “Make America Great Again,” sporting the signature red cap for President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union address and acting as a go-between for Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans — appeared to be the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as Greene has seemingly moderated her political profile.

The three-term U.S. House member has increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the just-ended federal government shutdown and saying they need a plan to help people who are losing subsidies to afford health insurance policies.

    Is it normal that a president screams to the world that someone is “NOT MY FRIEND NO MORE, SO THERE!!” ?

    She’s the shark circling closest to Trump’s blood in the water. Of course he’s going to target her. I hope they both have fun with that.

      Hope in vain it’ll never happen, these shit stains always vote in lockstep.

      Republicans moving left will NOT save us.

      Democrats need to move left and grab the 100 million voters sitting out because they believe neither side is doing anything for them.

        I didn’t say anything about moving left. I just want to see the pro pedo factions fighting with the anti pedo factions.

    I am reminded of Lyndon Johnson’s “Better to have them inside the tent pissing out than outside pissing in”

    Like a broken clock, trump is right occasionally by calling her a wacko. But seeing them fighting like a hostily divorced couple is a wonderful sight. Let’s break out the popcorn and celebrate!
