After MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she’ll be resigning from Congress in January, an anonymous senior House Republican is now claiming that many Republicans are sick of how Trump’s White House is treating them.
After MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announced that she’ll be resigning from Congress in January, an anonymous senior House Republican is now claiming that many Republicans are sick of how Trump’s White House is treating them.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia firebrand and Trump’s once-unshakable ally, announced her resignation from Congress effective January 5, 2026. In a scathing four-page statement, she accused the White House of sidelining her and the grassroots, comparing her treatment to that of a “battered wife.” The breaking point came over the Jeffrey Epstein files: Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie forced a bipartisan discharge petition, defying Trump’s initial resistance. Though he later signed the transparency bill, the damage was done—Trump withdrew his endorsement and called her a “ranting lunatic.”
The president lashed out on Truth Social, claiming Greene’s “plummeting poll numbers” and fear of a primary challenge forced her hand. Her safe red district will now face a special election, with Trump’s team already courting replacements. But Greene’s departure is only the loudest symptom of deeper rot. An anonymous senior House Republican told Punchbowl News that “many Republicans are sick of how Trump’s White House is treating them,” with morale at rock bottom and Speaker Mike Johnson accused of enabling the abuse.
Lawmakers are furious over unilateral funding cuts, erratic policy swings on Ukraine, H-1B visas, and Obamacare subsidies, plus the Epstein saga’s humiliating reversal. Some, like Rep. Don Bacon, have floated resignation over Trump’s Ukraine peace plan. Former Rep. David Trott warned of a “massive GOP mutiny,” while five anonymous conservatives told Politico they fear Trump’s “erratic” obsessions will tank 2026 turnout. The conference, already razor-thin, now braces for more early exits.
MAGA hardliners like Steve Bannon slammed Congress as a “ceremonial” body, while online trolls branded Greene a fraud. Allies like Massie praised her courage; Trump critics like Barbara Comstock called it a principled stand. Democrats gloated—Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Greene was “learning the hard way.” Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon thanked her for being a “tireless fighter,” but the party machine is moving fast to install a loyalist.
With Trump’s grip tightening and Congress sidelined, Greene’s exit may be the first domino. Her future—media, a book, or a Georgia gubernatorial run—remains unclear, but the message is stark: loyalty to Trump is a one-way street. As special elections loom and midterm pressures mount, the MAGA coalition faces an existential test. The fortress is cracking, and the White House is racing to contain the fallout.
