Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) took a swipe at President Trump on Monday, quipping that she can’t remember the last time she spotted someone wearing his iconic “Make America Great Again” hat. The remark, posted on X, came alongside a photo of a billboard advertising a “Trump Superstore” that was reportedly going out of business.
“I can’t remember the last time I saw someone wearing a maga hat or Trump shirt,” Greene wrote, a pointed jab from a lawmaker who was once one of Trump’s most vocal defenders on Capitol Hill.
Greene, who married Brian Glenn last month, has been in open conflict with the president since late last year. Her support began to sour over the administration’s handling of the release of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Greene was one of four Republicans who backed a discharge petition to force a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bill co-authored by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).
The measure passed both chambers and was signed into law by Trump, but the Justice Department’s heavily redacted disclosures angered Greene and her allies. She also voiced frustration with GOP leadership over the longest government shutdown in modern history, which she blamed partly on the White House.
Trump retaliated by branding Greene “Marjorie Traitor Brown” on social media, a nickname that stuck. The feud escalated in November when Greene announced she would resign from the House in January, saying she refused to be a “battered wife.” Since leaving office, she has continued to hammer Trump on policy, particularly the economic toll of the Iran war.
“The American people have to open their eyes and deal with reality and deal with truth,” Greene told conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in an April interview. “And the truth is, look, you may have supported President Trump for 10 years, like I did and like you have, but this is not the same man. This is not the same man that we supported.”
Greene’s latest comment about MAGA hats underscores her transformation from loyalist to critic. Political analysts note that such public breaks are rare for Trump allies, making Greene’s sustained attacks notable. Her resignation has not silenced her; she remains a prominent voice on the right, often using social media to amplify her disagreements with the administration.
The former congresswoman’s criticism has also touched on broader issues, including immigration policy and her blast over Trump’s comments on U.S. combat deaths. Her recent remarks suggest she is positioning herself as a independent conservative voice, unafraid to challenge the party’s standard-bearer.
Whether Greene’s observations about MAGA hat visibility reflect broader political trends remains uncertain, but her words carry weight given her past proximity to Trump. As the 2026 midterms approach, her rift with the president could have implications for Republican primaries and grassroots enthusiasm.
