Did Trump’s Epstein Switcheroo Send Marjorie Greene on Her Wild Arc?
I try not to share ideas or theories that I just happen to suspect are not true. But sometimes I’m curious enough about one to want to share it with this stash. Here’s one. Like almost everyone else, I’m trying to make sense of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent arc. Most of the time I came back completely dry. I can’t understand. I’ve seen various theories, from her playing a long role in the future direction of the post-Trump MAGA movement to other cunning, ambition-driven theories. But none of them really explain what I saw.
Here’s an idea.
So here is my thought. If Greene really believed in the Q-Anon world as a whole, which transmigrated quite easily into the Epstein story, perhaps seeing Trump turn on his heel and insist that the world move on and not talk about it anymore just shook her on a fundamental level that most of us can’t really imagine. If you remember, when we first heard about Greene as a candidate, she was the first true Q-Anon supporter to run for Congress.
This is where I want to remind you that this all seems a little too romantic, a little too right. But why exactly? To most of us, Trump is a serial liar and abuser of women. He has a very public history of “dating” women who were 19 or 20 while he was well into his 50s. Trump’s audacity in pulling off his epic record-breaking moment, going from the man who would clean out the stables of Epstein-like elite corruption to the one who shut down the stables, might surprise us a little. But the idea that he might have something to hide is hardly shocking. But again, if you are a true believer, this could be quite shocking. In fact, it might be the kind of thing that would shake up your entire worldview in a pretty dramatic and unpredictable way.
Regardless, I’m not making a strong argument for this theory, as I said. I’m sharing this because I really don’t know what’s going on with Greene. And the crazy-as-a-fox explanations I’ve seen about twelve-dimensional chess actually don’t make much sense. So…maybe.
As far as I can tell, the first real sign of her distrust of Trump was when she, along with Reps. Nancy Mace and Lauren Boebert, signed the petition to release Epstein. This is the technical term for a petition that can compel the President to hold a vote. As we have discussed several times, the Epstein story is something of a myth of the modern far right and the MAGA movement. Indeed, it was a very big deal before most people even had a real idea of who Epstein was. The idea that democrats, liberals, globalists, the elite, etc. not only control the world and betray America, but actually run a pedophile ring carrying out the horrific sexual exploitation of children dating back to the PizzaGate conspiracy theory. From there, he was drawn into the elaborate scam known as the Q-Anon movement. There is this pre-Epstein version of what became the Epstein story, which predates most people who have heard of Jeff Epstein. Once the Epstein story became a national obsession in 2019, it bore enough resemblance to the far-right myth of an elite pedophile cabal that the two stories blended seamlessly and permanently. PizzaGate/Q-Anon clung to the Epstein story like a magnet to a piece of iron.

During a recent appearance on “The View,” one of the hosts asked Greene what she had to say for herself or how she explained her long history of conspiracy theories. Greene is not the most eloquent person. But what I think she said was that she was yet another victim of online misinformation. That’s quite a statement – to put it mildly. Clever too, since he dismisses the whole story by appealing to a totem of the Trump opposition. But it got me thinking about the apparent role of the Epstein story in his slow apostasy from Trump. Is it possible that this is really how she sees her story?
