Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has ticked off former president Donald Trump and his team of advisors with her attempt to oust Speaker Mike Johnson, according to a new report, claiming that insiders at Mar-a-Lago and Trump himself are growing frustrated with MTG's threats.
Greene filed a motion to vacate Johnson (R-LA) from his position just last month after approval of a $1.2 trillion spending package.
Sources close to the situation said Trump and others fear ousting Johnson could send the House GOP into chaos.
"It's fair to say we don't think she's being constructive," claimed an insider close to the 2024 hopeful, RadarOnline.com has learned. "The internal fighting is not appreciated by [Trump]."
Greene has remained a vocal opponent of the package and pushed Johnson not to bring the legislation to the floor for a vote, blasting it as a "Democrat-controlled bill."
"Republicans had the power of the purse. This was our power. This was our leverage," she vented to reporters outside the Capitol. "This was our chance to secure the border, and he didn't do it."

"We need real leaders that know how to fight, that know how to walk in a room and don't get rolled by the deep state," Greene continued. "We need a speaker of the House that actually represents the people."
It has now been revealed that MTG's attempts to remove Johnson from his position did not sit well with Trump's inner circle amid talks about launching regular meetings between the two camps as well as the RNC, NRCC, and NRSC.
Senior Trump adviser Chris LaCivita has been in contact with Billy Constangy, Johnson's top political operative, according to the report.
"It's fair to say we don't think she's being constructive," claimed an insider close to the 2024 hopeful.
Sources close to the situation said Trump and others fear ousting Johnson could send the House GOP into chaos — especially after a motion to vacate was used to force former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the role in a historic vote last year, Politico's Playbook revealed.
"The internal fighting is not appreciated by [Trump]," said sources close to the GOP frontrunner.
