A bitter and public feud between two prominent figures in Donald Trump's MAGA movement has escalated into a viral spectacle, exposing deep internal divisions. What began as a war of words has now involved archived videos, accusations of hypocrisy, and a fierce battle for influence within the "America First" political sphere.
The Spark: Greene's Comments on 'Mar-a-Lago Face'
The conflict intensified this week after Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene gave a series of blistering interviews to The New York Times. In them, she criticised the environment at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Greene expressed discomfort with what she described as the "sexualization" of women in the former President's orbit.
"I never liked the MAGA Mar-a-Lago sexualization. I believe how women in leadership present themselves sends a message to younger women," Greene told the outlet. She added, "I have two daughters, and I’ve always been uncomfortable with how those women puff up their lips and enlarge their breasts." This phenomenon, often dubbed "Mar-a-Lago face," has drawn scrutiny for years.
Loomer's Counterattack: A Four-Year-Old Video Goes Viral
Far-right commentator and staunch Trump ally Laura Loomer responded swiftly and aggressively. On Tuesday morning, she escalated the war of words by posting a four-year-old video clip of Greene at a Republican event. The video shows Greene on stage with a life-size cardboard cutout of Donald Trump.
In the clip, Greene points to the cutout and says, "This guy right here, he’s great, standing up there in the mucky swamp." She then moves her hand around the cutout's groin area in what appears to be a lewd gesture. Sharing the video on X, Loomer wrote, "Let me remind @RepMTG of this video of her sexually molesting a cardboard cutout of President Trump. MTG is a total fraud."
Loomer also questioned Greene's criticism of sexualization, asking, "Also, what does she mean about sexualization?" This post was part of a broader attack Loomer launched this week, which included reposting an article featuring Greene in a bikini on a Costa Rican holiday and criticising Greene's claims about Trump and the Epstein files.
A Deepening Rift Within MAGA Politics
The ugly public spat is not a one-off incident but the culmination of months of growing tension. The conflict has worsened as Greene has broken ranks with Trump on several key issues, including the Epstein client list, cost-of-living pressures, foreign wars, and core "America First" principles.
Both women have spent years vying for Trump's attention and favour. Greene has previously dismissed Loomer as unstable, saying she "psychotically turns on everyone." Meanwhile, Loomer has maintained her position as a loyal ally, recently receiving praise from Trump himself at a White House Christmas party, where he jokingly called her "very low-key, not controversial at all."
This feud transforms internal MAGA politics into public drama, highlighting the factional battles and personal loyalties that define the movement. With archived videos and personal accusations becoming weapons, the spectacle underscores that in today's political landscape, past actions and present statements are always ready to be used as receipts in a battle for supremacy.
