Any Joe Schmo can call themselves a journo. The job title ain't protected, not even in the good ol' USA, the world's champion of freedom of speech.
But Laura Loomer? She's not just dispersing far-right propaganda to millions of eager Americans. No sirree. This 31-year-old firebrand is whispering directly into the ear of the President himself - you guessed it, ol' Donny Trump.

Loomer's a polarizing figure, love her or loathe her. And it's not hard to see why. She's vocal about her anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant views, labeling herself as a "proud Islamophobe" and championing an us-versus-them mentality.
Her divisive rhetoric doesn't just stir up trouble online, it contributes to a highly charged digital landscape[1][2].
Loomer's not shy about backing baseless conspiracy theories either. From 9/11 being an "inside job" to spreading false claims targeting Kamala Harris and Haitian immigrants, Loomer enthusiastically amplifies unsubstantiated stories[1][2].
Trump's no stranger to controversial figures, but Loomer's an #1 fan. She's attended his rallies, endorsed his campaigns, and even provided him with advice that's led to major decisions - including the recent firing of National Security Council officials[2].
Trump's got a soft spot for Loomer, calling her a "very good patriot and a very strong person"[1], but he's quick to distance himself from her most contentious statements. This carefully balanced relationship reflects the convoluted nature of Loomer's influence within Trump's inner circle[2].
Loomer's rebellious nature extends beyond her fiery online presence. She's been seen darting across the lawn of Speaker Pelosi's house, attempting to walk onto Bernie Sanders' backyard, and even jumping fences to gain access to the homes of prominent figures[2].
Her media-grabbing antics and relentless fearmongering have kept her in the limelight and, unfortunately, in the midst of political discussions[1][2].
- Laura Loomer, despite being a controversial influencer and journalist in the United States, has direct access and influence over Donald Trump, the President, through her far-right propaganda and hateful rhetoric.
- Loomer's divisive religious, immigration, and political views, along with her promotion of baseless conspiracy theories, have contributed to a highly polarized digital landscape in the USA.
- Trump, while maintaining a balanced relationship with Loomer due to her controversial statements, has acknowledged her as a "very good patriot and a very strong person," demonstrating her influence within his inner circle.
