‘There’s no going back’: Marjorie Taylor Greene kisses Trump goodbye in perhaps a final breakup post

Like much of MAGA, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s formerly faithful relationship with Donald Trump has somewhat soured over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. And in a July 21, 2025, X post, Greene seemed to make the breakup official. But are Trump’s foot soldiers listening?

Greene wrote in her post, “If you tell the base of people, who support you, of deep state treasonous crimes, election interference, blackmail, and rich powerful elite evil cabals, then you must take down every enemy of The People. If not. The base will turn and there’s no going back. Dangling bits of red meat no longer satisfies. They want the whole steak dinner and will accept nothing else.”

Greene didn’t explicitly mention Epstein in what she wrote, but the subtext was clear: Trump’s DOJ memo reaffirming Epstein killed himself, there was no Epstein client list, and there would be no more prosecutions related to the case was, in her view, a bait ‘n’ switch too far.

Greene’s Steve Bannon appearance

What the Georgia Republican said on X came after she appeared on Steve Bannon‘s podcast, slamming the Trump administration’s handling of Iran, one of several signals Greene has sent recently, suggesting her dismay over Trump’s policies.

Greene told Bannon, “Six months in, Steve, and here we are turning back on the campaign promises. And we bombed Iran on behalf of Israel. Yes, it was on behalf of Israel. We are entering a nuclear war, World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt.”

Meanwhile, the response to Greene’s “red meat” post showed many in Trump’s MAGA base remain loyal to the president. One post said, “Many of the base have turned on you sweetie. Look in the mirror. Going on Bannon [and] attacking @realDonaldTrump has destroyed much of your credibility. It’s very sad.” Another added, “Trump doesn’t need you anymore.”

But others reveal MAGA division now runs deep, insofar as social comments are an indication. One person wrote, “Say his name, Marge. Say the name of the individual who controls the release of the full files. Donald Trump. Don’t be a coward.”

The Epstein grand jury transcripts

Amid the Epstein fallout, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice has formally requested the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases.

The motion, filed in mid-July and signed by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, argues that the public interest in understanding the scope of the case outweighs the usual confidentiality of grand jury proceedings.

The DOJ says the release would include limited redactions to protect victims’ identities, and that the Southern District of New York has been consulted as part of the process.

A federal judge must now decide whether to grant the motion, a decision that legal experts say could take weeks or months. Even if approved, the release would be narrowly tailored: only grand jury testimony would be made public, not other investigative materials such as flight logs, discovery files, or seized digital evidence.

Former prosecutors have cautioned that the transcripts will likely offer a limited view into the case, and some have criticized the move as symbolic rather than substantive. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!”
