- Marjorie Taylor Greene sent cryptic warning to Trump.
- Message hinted at a major mistake.
- No specific mistake detailed by Greene.
The firebrand Georgia Republican, who was formerly a staunch ally of Trump, has been in a public feud with the president in recent weeks over issues including foreign policy and affordability.
She has become so fed up with Washington that she announced her resignation from Congress, effective January 2026, telling Americans,
“I refuse to be a ‘battered wife’ hoping it all goes away and gets better.”
Greene will continue to be eligible for her pension.
In an X post Friday morning, Greene talked about hollow promises.
“One of the worst mistakes you can ever make is over promise and under deliver,”
she said.
“It will leave people furious to the point they won’t even appreciate the good things they received. Big promises have and still are being made…”
Although Greene didn't mention any specific issue or name anyone in the message, it follows Trump's tirade about immigration on social media.
Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday,
“Even as we have progressed technologically, Immigration Policy has eroded those gains and living conditions for many.”
“Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won’t be here for long!”
the president said.
Trump’s warning against immigrants, including those living in the U.S. lawfully, comes after two National Guard men were shot, one fatally, in Washington, D.C., allegedly by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal.
In response to the incident, Trump ordered a "rigorous reexamination" of all Green Cards issued to immigrants from "a country of concern.”
While both Trump and Greene have tough views on immigration, they disagree when it comes to H-1B visas, a legal way for highly-skilled foreign workers to dwell in the U.S.
Greene stated on X earlier last month that she was introducing a measure to
“END the mass replacement of American workers by aggressively phasing out the H1B program.”
But Trump has defended the program, telling Fox News’ Laura Ingraham,
“you also do have to bring in talent,”
days before Greene’s statement.
When Ingraham protested that there are “plenty” of talented people currently in the U.S., Trump said,
“You don’t have certain talents.”
Greene cited her disagreement with Trump about H-1B visas in a statement announcing her retirement.
“Through it all, I never changed or went back on my campaign promises and only disagreed in a few areas like my stance against H1-Bs replacing American jobs, Al state moratoriums, debt for life 50 year mortgage scams, standing strongly against all involvement in foreign wars, and demanding the release of the Epstein files,”
the congresswoman said.
Greene was also one of the few House Republicans who initially advocated to release federal information relating to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before Trump gave his party his consent to support the initiative.
What specific issues caused their public feud recently?
Marjorie Taylor Greene and President Donald Trump's public feud escalated over Trump's support for H- 1B visas and perceived softening on immigration enforcement. Greene vehemently opposed expanding the program, calling it a treason of American workers, while Trump defended it as essential for tech invention, leading to her cryptic X post warning of his "worst mistake."
Greene pushed beforehand for releasing Jeffrey Epstein government lines, breaking from Trump's original opposition. She was among many Republicans backing Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna's bill, which Trump later championed. This stressed her independence, with Trump latterly censoring her Massie ties amid his reversal.
Greene diverged on foreign policy (opposing certain wars) and profitable affordability issues, formerly core Trump support areas. Her abdication advertisement cited avoiding a" hurtful primary" backed by Trump, framing herself as refusing "bombarded woman" status in the party.
