President Donald Trump has thrown a surprising lifeline to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., despite their recent public spats.
Amidst a backdrop of sharp disagreements, Trump voiced support for Greene’s potential return to the political arena during a brief call with NBC on Nov. 22, 2025, even as the 51-year-old congresswoman prepares to exit Congress in January.
The New York Post reported that Greene, who first won her seat in 2021, has been a vocal supporter of the MAGA movement, often describing herself as a staunch adherent to its principles.
However, the relationship between Trump, 79, and Greene hasn’t been all smooth sailing, with public disputes over issues like the Epstein files, price inflation, and a government shutdown creating visible tension.
Earlier remarks from Trump were far from kind, including a Truth Social post where he dubbed her “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown” and blamed her departure on “PLUMMETTING Poll Numbers” and having “no chance of winning” without his backing.
On the night of Nov. 21, 2025, Trump didn’t hold back, telling ABC that Greene stepping down was “great news for the country.”
Yet, by the following day, Trump’s tone seemed to soften during his call with NBC, suggesting a willingness to see Greene rise from the political ashes.
“I’d love to see that,” Trump said, referring to Greene reviving her career, though he added a cautious note with, “It’s not going to be easy for her.”
His comments hint at a complex dynamic—support mixed with a pragmatic jab at the uphill battle Greene might face after her self-imposed hiatus.
Greene’s announcement of leaving Congress came with a fiery critique of what she called the “political industrial complex,” a jab at the entrenched power structures she’s often railed against.
While her immediate plans remain unclear, whispers in political circles mention her as a possible contender for Senate, the Georgia governorship, or even a White House bid in 2028.
For now, Trump seems to advocate for patience, suggesting, “She’s got to take a little rest,” perhaps acknowledging the toll of their recent clashes and her polarizing tenure.
This latest chapter in the Trump-Greene saga shows a dance of criticism and reconciliation, reflecting the often turbulent waters of conservative politics where loyalty and disagreement coexist.
While Trump’s earlier harsh words paint a picture of frustration, his recent pivot to encouragement could signal a broader strategy to keep influential MAGA figures like Greene in the fold, even if on the sidelines temporarily.
As the conservative movement navigates a landscape often challenged by progressive agendas, figures like Greene remain lightning rods—divisive yet energizing to a base hungry for unapologetic voices against what they see as cultural overreach.
