What Happened to Trump’s Biggest Fan?

Columbia Journalism Review · Liam Scott · last updated

As Marjorie Taylor Greene contemplates her next move, her betrothed, a Trump-friendly broadcaster named Brian Glenn, is adjusting to life on the outside.

Brian Glenn was in Davos, Switzerland, and he was exhausted. “The time change alone can just whip you, you know?” he said. “You’ll go cross-eyed.”

It was January, and Glenn was covering the World Economic Forum for Real America’s Voice, the pro-MAGA broadcaster where he has worked since 2024. It was the first time Glenn or the network had attended the conference, and he was gushing to me about Donald Trump’s speech earlier that day, in which the president had aired his long-standing desire to take over Greenland. (Partway through, Trump started referring to Greenland as “Iceland.”) It was “a powerhouse speech,” Glenn said. “I’ve called it tipping over the apple cart of the old world order,” he said. “His speech today was very much America First.”
