The Republican "wild card" that has become a foe of President Donald Trump has developed a new nickname that may trigger the GOP leader.
The Daily Beast noticed that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has flipped the idea of "Trump Derangement Syndrome" to something new. The term has been used by MAGA to mock those on the left for their opposition to Trump. Now, though, using “Trump Derangement Syndrome” against people who have long been loyal to MAGA is making it harder to separate them from the movement.
Greene coined "Trump Disappointment Syndrome."
“I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have Trump Disappointment Syndrome," said Greene.
Greene was at the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity while giving the speech.
Greene was once a dedicated MAGA loyalist, but broke with the president over the scandal around trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. She has advocated releasing all of the investigation files, including the ones that mention the president.
She told the crowd that it's what broke her. According to the former congresswoman, Trump called her and demanded, “Marjorie, you’re gonna have to take your name off that discharge petition. It’s a Democrat hoax. My friends are going to get hurt.”
According to Greene, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) went further, trying to make the issue disappear into a Rules Committee matter and asking that former Attorney General Pam Bondi withhold everything.
Trump told Greene, "people in Palm Beach" and "people you know at Mar-a-Lago" would be harmed by the files. She said it was a stunning claim to hear from Trump since he has long called the files a Democrat "hoax." When she refused to back down, she said it was the beginning of the end of MAGA.
“That’s when MAGA died,” Greene said. “That’s when the entire thing shattered for me.”
She has spent the past several months speaking out on talk shows and giving some political commentary while telling her story about the Trump encounter and asking more questions about the Epstein files.
