Trump has just sent the order to hire crazy loon Laura Loomer to help him get reelected in 2024.
The report comes from Maggie Haberman in the New York Times and she cites four people familiar with the discussions.
Here’s the report:
Former President Donald J. Trump has told aides to hire Laura Loomer, a far-right and anti-Muslim activist with a history of expressing bigoted views, for a campaign role, according to four people familiar with the plans.
Mr. Trump met with Ms. Loomer recently and directed advisers to give her a role in support of his candidacy, two of the people familiar with the move said. It is unclear whether she would serve on his campaign or the main super PAC backing his presidential bid. On Tuesday, after Mr. Trump’s arraignment in Manhattan, Ms. Loomer attended the former president’s speech at Mar-a-Lago, his resort and residence in Palm Beach, Fla.
Ms. Loomer has not yet been hired, the people familiar with the discussions said. Some of Mr. Trump’s aides are said to have concerns that such a hire will cause a backlash, given her history of inflammatory statements and her embrace of the Republican Party’s fringes.
Reached by phone on Friday morning, Ms. Loomer said, “Out of respect for President Trump, I’m not going to comment on private conversations that I had with the president.”
“The president knows I have always been a Trump loyalist,” she added, “and that I’m committed to helping him win re-election in 2024. He likes me very much. And it’s a shame that he’s surrounded by some people that run to a publication that is notorious for attacking him in order to try to cut me at the knees instead of being loyal to President Trump and respecting their confidentiality agreements.”
We all know Maggie Haberman is Trump’s favorite writer at the New York Times and he’s certainly been an ‘anonymous source’ for her stories in the past. So it’s possible Trump was a source for this story as well.
As far as Loomer goes, she’s the one who has been slinging trash against DeSantis and Trump has been retweeting that trash. So I guess she would be perfect for his campaign.
Loomer was at Mar-a-Lago the other night when Trump returned from his arraignment in NYC. Gay Patriot tweeted a funny about her with Roger Stone:
