President Trump slammed Marjorie Taylor Green, referring to her as Marjorie “Traitor Brown” in a Truth Social post on Monday, in response to Taylor Greene’s 60 Minutes interview, where she was very critical of the president.
The President took to Truth Social the day after the interview aired on CBS, describing Greene, a Republican representative from Georgia, as having the views “of a very dumb person.”
In the 250-word post, Trump claimed that “the only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States.”
He explained the nickname, saying that “Green turns Brown under stress,” going on to clarify that “she sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple!”
Trump’s response to the 60 Minutes interview
President Trump described Greene during the interview as “a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements.” He said that “her ideas are, NOW, really BAD.”
Trump also directed criticism at the interviewer, Lesley Stahl.
He went on a mid-post tangent about Stahl, calling her “washed up, Trump hating, 60 Minutes ‘correspondent,’ Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show.”
Trump then pivoted again to clarify his main issue, saying “my real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air.”
He added that “THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME!”
He went on to “demand a complete and total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes,” not for the interview with Greene, but for “her incorrect and Libelous statements” about a laptop belonging to former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.
What did Greene say in the interview?
In the 60 Minutes interview that prompted Trump’s post, Greene made numerous claims against the President, alleging that Republican lawmakers speak differently about Trump behind the scenes.
She alleged that her relationship with the President began to deteriorate over the Epstein Files, which she wanted released, and her support for the anti-AIPAC organization, Track AIPAC.
She told 60 Minutes that after Trump called her a traitor she received “several direct death threats on [her] son,” with the subject line “Marjorie Traitor Greene,” Trump’s words. Greene said that the threats were “directly fueled by President Trump.”
In the interview Greene claimed that she told Trump about the threats and “got a response from President Trump that I will keep private, but it wasn't very nice.”
She also told Stahl that she thinks Republicans in Congress are “terrified to step out of line and get a nasty Truth Social post on them,” like what has happened to her.
In his Truth Social post, Trump responded to Greene’s allegations, saying “Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast.”
Greene has resigned from the US House of Representatives, effective from January 5, 2026, following the public deterioration in her relationship with the President.
