Is Donald Trump Attacking Women He Can't Control? Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Candace Owens

A dramatic public rift has erupted within the heart of the MAGA Movement after Marjorie Taylor Greene accused President Donald Trump of harbouring a deep-seated hostility towards women.

The former Georgia Congresswoman launched an uncharacteristically direct attack on the US President on X (formerly Twitter) this week, following his mockery of conservative commentator Candace Owens.

The fallout, sparked by a fabricated 'Vile Person of the Year' magazine cover shared by Trump on Truth Social, marks a historic low in the relationship between the President and his once-closest legislative ally.

The post and Greene's blistering response to it have opened an unusually direct fight between Trump, Greene, and Owens in full public view.

Greene's blistering response, which alleged that Trump 'hates women he can't control', has exposed a significant MAGA movement civil war just as the administration navigates a complex global landscape.

The clash followed Trump's own attack on Owens over her remarks about Brigitte Macron, the First Lady of France. In the Truth Social post, Trump called Owens 'despicable' for 'attacking' Macron and dismissed her as a 'low-IQ individual,' while sharing a fabricated magazine cover that branded her the 'vile person of the year' and included a string of other taunts.

Greene's answer was not a careful distancing exercise. It was a frontal hit. She called Trump's post 'cruel' and then pushed far beyond that, writing that 'President Trump hates women he can't control, who don't worship him, women who actually worship God and are much more intelligent than he is.'

What makes this episode striking is not just the insult itself but who delivered it. Greene has long been one of Trump's most visible allies, so hearing her accuse him of hostility towards women marks a serious rupture, even in the permanently overheated world of MAGA infighting.

She did not stop at defending Owens. Greene also dragged Laura Loomer into the dispute, suggesting the fake cover looked like something Loomer could 'conjure up' and alleging that she had been giving Trump political advice that had damaged both him and the Republican Party.

Then the broadside widened again. Greene said Trump had failed to back women she described as Epstein victims and claimed he had even called her a 'traitor' for supporting them.

She went on to argue that the only people in his cabinet whom he had either fired or privately told to leave were women, naming Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi and Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

Her most politically pointed line was also the simplest. 'No matter what you think about any of us women, as we are all different from each other, whether you like us or not, one thing is incredibly clear, Trump hates women,' she wrote, adding that posts like his would turn 'the majority of women in America against him.' It was the language of betrayal, not mere disagreement, and it suggested Greene wanted the wound to be seen.

Candace Owens At The Centre Of Donald Trump And Marjorie Taylor Greene's Feud

Owens, for her part, had already put herself at the centre of a different and more legally dangerous fight. She had repeatedly claimed that Brigitte Macron was born male and later transitioned, an allegation that prompted a defamation suit from Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron in Delaware in 2025.

Tom Clare, a lawyer acting for the Macrons, said on the BBC's Fame Under Fire podcast in 2025 that Brigitte Macron found the allegations 'incredibly upsetting.' He also said the claims had become a distraction for the French president, even if he did not want to suggest they had thrown him 'off his game.'

Clare said the couple were prepared to show that the allegations were untrue, both in general terms and in detail. Asked whether they were ready to present photographs of Brigitte Macron when she was pregnant, he said such images existed and would be produced in court, where rules applied.

Owens had staked her own reputation on the allegation. In March 2024, according to the BBC report, she said she would put her 'entire professional reputation' on the belief that Brigitte Macron was born male. By the time Trump shared the fake cover and Greene retaliated, Owens had not publicly responded to his post.
