Overview
- Right-wing podcaster Shannon Joy made the claim during an interview on The Shannon Joy Show with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
- Joy accused the president of abusive behavior and alleged financial grift, citing insider trading and pump‑and‑dump schemes as examples, which remain unproven allegations aired on her show.
- Greene agreed with Joy’s characterization and said she regrets not speaking out sooner about Trump’s bullying and name-calling.
- The White House responded through spokesperson Davis Ingle, who denounced Greene as a quitter and used an insult to dismiss her criticism.
- Coverage ties Greene’s break with Trump to her push to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files and to disputes over Iran policy, which reporters say have prompted other MAGA defections.
