How MAGA Exiles in MTG's 'Movement' Photo Fell Out With Trump
The gathering brings renewed attention to disputes that transformed once-staunch MAGA loyalists into Trump's most vocal critics.
A photograph of former allies of President Donald Trump, who have fallen out with him, has highlighted growing divisions within the conservative movement. The image, shared by Marjorie Taylor Greene, features Greene alongside Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie, and Joe Kent. Greene, a former Republican Representative, wrote that Trump had betrayed them by breaking his promise to avoid foreign wars.
The group's disagreements intensified after Trump ordered military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June 2025, which Greene claimed violated the MAGA agenda's "no more foreign wars" pledge. Greene later cited the Jeffrey Epstein files as the final straw, accusing Trump of betraying her by suggesting releasing the files would harm his friends.
Greene resigned from Congress in January 2026, distancing herself from Trump's foreign policy stance and support for Israel. Carlson, once a prominent Trump supporter, also broke with the president over military intervention in Iran and later apologized for his role in the conflict. Former Representative Thomas Massie, while initially endorsing Trump, did not share the same level of involvement as Greene or Carlson.
