Donald Trump Fires Back at MTG, Slams Stahl and 60 Minutes Leadership

President Donald Trump issued a lengthy response Monday to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s interview on “60 Minutes,” criticizing both Greene and CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl following the broadcast, as reported by The Independent Journal Review.

Greene, who recently announced her decision to leave Congress, discussed her strained relationship with the president during the interview, prompting Trump to respond on Truth Social, according to The Hill.

Trump began by addressing Greene’s comments about their falling out.

“The only reason Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!),” Trump wrote.

He continued, “Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD – She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person.”

Trump also directed criticism toward “60 Minutes” and Stahl.

He wrote, “…Trump hating, 60 Minutes ‘correspondent,’ Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements.”

He later added that his issue was not only with Greene but with the program’s leadership. “My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor,” Trump wrote.

“It was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME!”

Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News, previously settled a lawsuit filed by Trump over a “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris.

The interview featured Greene recounting her break with Trump over foreign policy issues and the cost of living. She also claimed that Trump calling her a “traitor” resulted in threats against her family.

“Those were death threats directly fueled by President Trump,” Greene said.

Greene responded to Trump’s posts late Monday morning in a message on X, writing, “I AM AMERICA FIRST.”

I AM AMERICA FIRST.
