President Trump said he will no longer support Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her "wacky" and a "traitor" to the GOP, making a dramatic break with a longtime loyalist who has increasingly criticized the president and her party's leadership in recent weeks.

In an almost 300-word missive on Truth Social Friday night, the president said Greene "has gone Far Left," and wrote that "all I see 'Wacky' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!"

"She has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day," he wrote.

The president said he's withdrawing his endorsement of Greene and will support a primary challenge against her "if the right person runs" in her deep-red northern Georgia district.

In response, Greene wrote on X that the president "just attacked me and lied about me," but she "will continue to pray this administration will be respectful."

"I have supported President Trump with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him," she wrote. "But I don't worship or serve Donald Trump. I worship God, Jesus is my savior, and I serve my district GA14 and the American people."

Mr. Trump continued his attacks on Greene on Saturday, saying in a Truth Social post: "Marjorie 'Traitor' Greene is a disgrace to our GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY!"...........................................
