As MAGA infighting deepens, Donald Trump has publicly praised far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her a “very nice person” and a “patriot” in response to a reporter's pointed question about her influence in his circle. The endorsement comes amid Loomer's own controversy — she recently unveiled a “tip line” aimed at helping Trump allies report and remove “disloyal” government staffers. Loomer claims Biden holdovers and anti-Trump insiders are sabotaging the movement from within and insists “hundreds” need to be purged.
The president's warm words about her raise eyebrows, especially as he attempts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming election. Loomer’s call for a MAGA-only government has sparked concern across Washington, while Trump appears to embrace her ideology. Critics see the move as a dangerous precedent, while supporters argue it's a long-overdue loyalty check. The line between activism and influence seems blurrier than ever inside Trump’s inner circle.
