Trump says he's withdrawing support for onetime ally Marjorie Taylor Greene

President Trump said he will no longer support Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, marking a dramatic break with a onetime Trump loyalist who has increasingly criticized the president and her party's leadership in recent weeks.

In an almost 300-word missive on Truth Social Friday night, the president said Greene "has gone Far Left," and wrote that "all I see 'Wacky' Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!"

"She has told many people that she is upset that I don't return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day," he wrote.

The president said he's withdrawing his endorsement of Greene, and will support a primary challenge against her "if the right person runs" in her deep-red northern Georgia district.

CBS News has reached out to Greene's office for comment.
