Former Trump loyalist Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she fears President Trump will try to use war to cancel the 2028 presidential election.
Greene, who infamously broke with the president after calling for the release of the Epstein files, referenced a meeting in which Trump alluded to canceling elections.
“I’m concerned,” Greene said on Alex Jones Live on Thursday. “And he said it jokingly.
“But at the same time, knowing President Trump, I looked at that, and I thought, I don’t know if he’s saying it, joking.”
Jones, the show’s host and a noted conspiracy theorist, interjected: “I remember that clip. That’s what people do. That’s what psychos do.”
Trump made the now-infamous remark while speaking to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office last August.
During the meeting, Trump referenced the fact that Ukraine had not held a presidential election since Russia invaded the country in 2022. Since then, Trump has launched his own war against Iran, which still has no end in sight as peace talks have struggled to make progress.
“So you say, during the war, you can’t have elections,” Trump said at the time. “So let me just see,” the president continued.
“Three and a half years from now, so you mean if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? Oh, that’s good.”
Greene told Jones that she believes Trump’s behavior is that of a person “planting an idea over and over and over again.”
“And again, he constantly says it so that he can normalize the idea and test the support and test people’s reactions,” she claimed. “But saying it over and over and over again normalizes the idea.
“And I think it’s incredibly dangerous, and no one should ever accept it.”
Greene went on to say that a third Trump term would be “against the Constitution” and said that the election should not be cancelled even if the country is at war.
Trump has repeatedly alluded to remaining in office after the conclusion of his second stint in the White House.
The president has even sold “TRUMP 2028” hats and claimed he was “entitled” to an unconstitutional third term, because he believes that the Democrats “cheated like hell” during the 2020 presidential election.
Suggestions that the 2020 election was rigged or stolen have been widely debunked.
The president has also said that he will only accept the results of the 2026 midterm elections, if they are “honest.”
If they aren’t, he told NBC News that he believes “something else has to happen.”
Greene, who was previously an ardent supporter of Trump, broke with the president when she called for the release of the Epstein files.
The then-congresswoman was subsequently dubbed “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown” by Trump. Amid the fallout, Greene announced that she was resigning from Congress.
Now a fierce critic of Trump, Greene has claimed that releasing the Epstein files was the “demise” of the Republican party but “worth every single bit.”
