Nothing noble about It

Allies for years, erupting, Trump called Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘a traitor.’

Greene, looking frazzled, posturing herself, shot back that standing up for women who’d been raped didn’t make her a traitor – said she never expected fighting to release the Epstein files would come to this.

Insult hurling rolled on – Trump said Greene was mad because he wouldn’t return her phone calls.

Greene said, Trump just lied. I haven’t called him at all.

What happened next was a surprise: Trump about-faced. Told House Republicans to vote to release the files.

That wasn’t as noble as it sounds: He was about to lose the vote in the House and wanted to avoid a defeat.

Did the quarrel end there?

A few minutes after he posted he wanted the House to vote to release the files – Trump posted again belittling Greene.

It was like watching two teenagers bickering.
