Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Feels ‘Very Sorry’ for Trump

By Jake Beardslee · December 9, 2025

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she feels “very sorry for President Trump” after being asked on CNN to respond to his latest Truth Social post directed against her. Speaking on “The Situation Room,” Greene — once among Trump’s most reliable supporters and now preparing to leave Congress — suggested that his escalating hostility reflects a deeper personal turmoil.

“It has to be a hard place for someone that is constantly so hateful and puts so much vitriol, name-calling, and really tells lies about people in order to try to get his way or win some kind of fight,” she said. Greene added that “I personally think that that’s poor leadership from a president … and Americans are very tired of it.”

Trump had issued an extended post on Monday morning criticizing Greene and unveiling a new nickname for her. “The only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!),” Trump wrote. “Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD - She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person.”

Greene argued that Trump’s willingness to publicly denounce someone who once championed him should serve as a broader warning to his base. “What many people are saying to me is, if he would do this to you, he would do that to any of us,” she said. “And that, I think, is a terrible message to be sent to the country and many of the people that stood, goodness, hours in line for a MAGA rally.”
