Donald Trump has surprised many by removing key national security staff and it all happened after a meeting with a controversial figure, Laura Loomer.
Loomer, a political activist known for her far-right views and online controversies, is not a White House official. But her influence is real and it’s now making headlines.
What Really Happened?
Sources close to Trump say that shortly after meeting with Loomer, he fired three important members of his National Security Council. These included:
- Brian Walsh, who handled intelligence operations
- Thomas Boodry, linked to legislative matters
- David Feith, focused on technology security
None of them expected to be removed. Reports suggest Loomer told Trump that these officials were not fully loyal to him — and Trump acted quickly.
Who is Laura Loomer, and Why Does She Matter?
Laura Loomer has built her public image by being loud, bold, and often offensive. She has been banned from major social media platforms for spreading conspiracy theories and hateful remarks.
Despite her controversial past, she remains close to Trump. She has joined him on campaign trips, stood beside him at major events, and now seems to be advising him informally.
This isn’t typical. Usually, decisions on national security staff are made with advice from experienced government leaders — not political outsiders.
Trouble in the Trump Camp
Not everyone is happy about Loomer’s growing presence.
Even Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump’s most trusted former advisers, said she was “baffled” that Loomer was allowed on Trump’s private plane. Conway suggested Trump should have invited his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, instead.
Her comments show that Loomer’s rise is creating tension — even among Trump’s own people.
Racism Row Adds to the Fire
Loomer recently sparked outrage after making a racist joke about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. She said the White House would “smell like curry” if Harris became President — a comment that was widely condemned.
Even far-right congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who usually supports controversial figures, called Loomer’s remark “extremely racist” and unacceptable.
This raised a serious question: Why is someone with such a track record advising a former U.S. President?
What This Could Mean Going Forward
Trump is getting ready for another presidential run. His choices and the people advising him matter more than ever. Loomer’s influence shows he may be leaning heavily toward a hardline, far-right strategy.
That could energise his base, but it might also turn away voters who want stability and professionalism in government.
For now, Laura Loomer remains a behind-the-scenes power player — one without a title, but with surprising control.
