President Donald Trump on Friday night said it was “great news” that former ally GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) announced her coming resignation from Congress.
Trump and Greene recently had a falling out, which culminated in Trump saying he’d back a primary challenge against Greene.
“Just spoke with Pres. Trump on the phone. He said [Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene] resigning is ‘great news from the country,'” ABC News reporter Rachel Scott posted to X.
“I think it’s great news for the country. It’s great,” the president said.
Asked if Greene gave him a “heads up” about her resignation, Trump responded, “Nah, it doesn’t matter, you know but I think it’s great. I think she should be happy.”
Trump also told Scott that the rift between the pair only exists “between me and her, not her and me.”
“He said as of now, he has no plans to speak to her and wishes her well,” Scott added.

“I’ve been blessed to represent the 14th District of Georgia for five years,” Greene said in her video. “That district is filled with some of the most wonderful, kind-hearted, God fearing, patriotic, hardworking people you will ever meet. Good, regular, common Americans.”
The Georgia representative added that “loyalty should be a two-way street” and, referring to the president, said her “self worth is not defined by a man, but instead by God, who created everything in existence.”
Greene will officially step down on January 5.

MTG’s resignation announcement comes just one week after Trump said he was done supporting the rep. Greene has recently accused Trump of being “America Last” for meeting with foreign leaders and has routinely criticized Republican leadership. She’s also suggested Trump has made missteps concerning the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Trump said last week that the congresswoman started to publicly criticize him after he sent her a poll showing she’d fare poorly if she made a run for the Senate or governorship in Georgia, adding that she’s also upset that he doesn’t have time to return her phone calls anymore.
